Chell

I am soooo enamored with Portal 2 right now. I've been listening to the National's Exile Vilify on loop nonstop for the past half hour. It's a song about Chell (or the rat man?) and shows up on a little radio in the game, how cool is that? Love you Valve.

Hi! I haven't used this thing in ages but I'm still alive and definitely plan on posting more once I'm out of the void that is school life. You can find all my work at ShannaCundal.com and feel free to use the .rss feed to keep up with all my future postings. Thanks!

My brain's been in storyboard mode lately. Life drawing was pretty boring yesterday so I started boarding songs I was listening to. This is from Joanna Newsom's You and Me, Bess. About a couple who're also (I imagine poor) thieves, woman gets caught and the man takes the fall for it, so lyrically magical. The first one is her getting the news, second is him getting carted off to the gallows.

Read about this possible Cave Story/Disgaea mashup on Kotaku and decided to do a little study, so fun!

Coloring for digital painting class we're taking in our last semester. This is probly the best I've done, like, ever.

Inspired by Bikini Kill which I listened to a lot last semester, good angry music. I'd listened to bands influenced by them like Sleater Kinney, but it wasn't really till now that I gave them a listen, after all these years. I remember pressing my nose up against Kill Rock Stars Records' window in Olympia as a teen thinking how incredibly cool it'd be to work there.

This Christmas I went to Alberta for a super relaxing week of sketching, playing lots of Final Fantasy 3 on DS, and getting fat.

School's been one big stress mess. I've had zero time to post anything lately and really wanted to make something for myself.
