"Yeah, size is no guarantee of power," said George. "Look at Ginny!" 

"What do you mean?" said Harry.

"You’ve never been on the receiving end of one of her Bat-Bogey Hexes, have you?"

I FINALLY made a drawing for Wizarding Wednesday because it's Ginny and I love her! Any excuse to draw an animated witch is a good one.

I'm in another art show at the Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn!

This time the theme is "It Came from 1984" and I chose the movie Splash, of course.

Check out the premiere this Friday night and see "Madison" in person!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I got you all a Halloween present! It's a brand new webcomic about witches!

That's right, www.broommatescomic.com is finally happening.
Edit: Please find the archived Broommates here!

This has been such a good kick in the pants for me to grow as an artist! I don't know much about comics so this has been a crazy challenge and I love it. I'm seriously so excited. Here's the first page but please check out the website for the rest of the prologue!

We're posting the prologue tomorrow and will continue posting a page a week on Mondays.

"broommates" style test

Did I mention our webcomic was going to be ANIMATING?? 

That’s right, witches! Anytime magic appears on a page it will be in motion! Here’s a look at the style we’ve been brewing up. I’m so excited!!

Stay tuned for more info on “Broommates,”  a webcomic by Emily Quinn and Dan Fulton, coming this Halloween!

broommates

It's official! Dan Fulton and I are making a webcomic!

"Broommates" is a comic following the witches Diana, Sage, and Addison as they navigate the waters of mortal college.

These ladies have been in the works for a while now, and we're so excited to get them out into the world. Dan is doing the writing and I am doing the art. We're releasing the first few pages on Halloween and will continue to update weekly after that. I hope you're as excited as we are!!

nintendo woodburnings

Are you in Brooklyn next Friday?!

Why not come to the 3NES show at the Bottleneck Gallery?

You can see these babies in person!

I'm really loving this medium. I hope you like them! 

Owls!

What are you doing this Saturday Night?! 

Why not head over to the Wildlife Learning Center for their Annual Art Auction? 

Maybe you can bid on one of my woodburnings!

This is Zeus! He's an adorable blind screech owl that the center rescued.

 This is Hercules! He's Zeus' son! But he doesn't exist in real life.

Unfortunately I won't be there for the auction but there will be a ton of AMAZING artists there. All proceeds help benefit these poor animals in need, so please come and show your support!

paper sculpts

Over the holidays I delved into the fantastic world of paper sculpting! I have so much paper and supplies from my scrapbooking days, I needed to do something with them. This was incredibly fun and soooo easy. I'm definitely going to do more! I've always loved paper crafts and it felt so good to be using paper and glue again.

This started as an experiment with Sleeping Beauty for my bestie. I'm pretty happy with it for my first time!

Then I did a Coraline for my sister. This one was definitely easier.

The third one is me, my friend Mitch, and our friend Mike as the Pokemon Gang!

Lastly I created this one for my friend Caitlyn and I'm extremely pleased with how it came out!

Come paper sculpt with me! 

Watercolor!

I've been getting back into watercolor lately and it has been deeeeeeeelightful! I did this Burlesque girl for The Sketchbook Society, and then another pin-up lady just for fun. I hope you like them! Until I have a working scanner these phone pics will suffice!

Also I got a smartphone for Christmas and promptly became addicted to instagram. Follow me @missemilord! Here are some lovely filtered pics of these ladies, and a Marilyn for good measure:

marilynstagram, amirite???

what if fashion series

At my DC Nation Internship last year I was taking a lot of fashion classes. I started sketching out my favorite characters as fashion models and finally got around to finishing them before CTN. Hope you like them! I have prints and bookmark sets available!

CTN

Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by my booth! It was so nice to make new friends and reconnect with old ones. I'm sorry my blog's a little empty right now. I've had a few awesome changes in my life, and hopefully I can start posting more! 

Here are a few things I sold at CTN:

Adorable Chicago Subway Girl

A mermaid....naturally.

Unimpressed Headband Girl is Unimpressed!

Chased

I finally finished my film! I've worked extremely hard to get here so please let me have a moment of cheesy sentimental mushiness. (Don't worry, I'll keep it vegan.)

It happened to work out for me to post my film today and I'm really excited about it! Today I started my first full-time week at Warner Brothers after graduating with a BFA in animation. Along with that, this morning I turned in my first ever freelance animation project which I worked on with a former Disney animator! I took a huge risk to try to make it in the animation industry and I seriously couldn't have done it without all of you. Thank you so much to everyone for your unwavering support. Words simply can't express my heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you...my family, my friends, my professors, and all the amazing people I've worked with on Scooby, DC, Adventure Time, and now Teen Titans. You have all helped me so much in such a short period of time and I am beyond grateful for that. This is only the beginning! I can't wait to see where my life takes me and I'm so honored to have such an outpouring of support as I continue down this path. Thank you everyone!! Who says dreams can't come true? 

/end cheesy mush

p.s. I apologize for but am not sorry for bombarding every social networking outlet with this! :)

kinky jew

Excuse my blatantly sexual and racist title. But look! It's a kinkajou! Here's a look into my process with a line drawing, a quick color sketch, and then the final painting in acrylic and gouache on canvas. 

This is for an art auction benefitting The Wildlife Learning Center!   

Check out the event page here!

P.S. I know it's been a while since I posted. I'm sorry! So much has happened. More on that later. :)

a monstrous haiku

monsters, everywhere!
monsters even in my hair...
sometimes they say "rawr"

animating.

It's crunch time. Not like captain crunch, of course, but rather crunch time for films. I love animating, especially when I pose it out in pretty colors.

sooo prettyyyyyyy

A poster, it's an
advertisement for my film.
I like raspberries.
