Catfish

I finally finished the line drawing for the upcoming issue of ANE's Whole Terrain magazine. Now I'm starting to add color to some of my favorites. Here's a catfish that accompanies a poem called Currents. Prints available on my Etsy store!

New 3D Illustration!

I finally finished it! This is a piece I started when I got laid off from my previous job and was considering a career change at 22. I decided to stick with illustration a while longer and make this, and I'm glad I did. You can see this image and all my other 3d illustrations here.

Summed up Summer

Big update! Tons of stuff has happened since April. First of all, I graduated from RISD with a BFA in Illustration. After a couple of months of bumming around Massachusetts, I moved to Baltimore and started freelancing.

My first job was for Delaware Today. It was a spot illustration for a short story about how the economy will be affecting Santa this year. You can see it with the article here, but here's the image I came up with.



Second, I opened up an Etsy shop at http://sophytuttle.etsy.com/. I'm selling greeting cards, original illustrations, and prints so far, but I'm hoping to expand to sculptures eventually too. I'm also offering custom jobs... drawings, paintings, sculptures, pretty much anything...

Third! Through a bizarre string of coincidences I am now part of a chicken-themed show at Joe Squared on North Street in Baltimore. I wish I had a picture of my piece but it was a rush job (found out about the show on Wednesday and it opened on Thursday), so I didn't have time to scan it. It's a good show, and a pretty cool bar besides, so if you hate the show at least you can get drink as a consolation.

The last update I have is that I will be doing portfolio reviews at MICA tomorrow on behalf of RISD. We'll see how that goes...

Redesigned Characters

These are redesigns of characters from the animated movie Titan A.E. I chose to design the female lead as well as the female weapons expert. When I showed my initial sketch to my group, they suggested making it more feminine, so I changed a few things around for the final.

Warm and Cool

These two characters use warm and cool colors to emphasize their positive and negative traits.
