I was also in charge of designing/animating some shorts for Cartoon Network's MAD Magazine show, and earlier in the year was a lead animator on 'Zoolander: Supermodel' which will hopefully be online early next year.Katie Wendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17379235834379185134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098516800643686154.post-32069587132315300852013-01-04T18:37:00.000-05:002013-01-04T18:44:32.885-05:00At least it's something<a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/twdglenn_zpsb5c3bd48.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/twdglenn-thumb_zps7cdc8e16.jpg"></a>

Most of it is Aztec stuff and Cupcake Captive with some random stuff here and there.<br />
Old sketchbook stuff:<br />
<a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/sketchbook1-cc.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/sketchbook1-cc-thumb.jpg" /></a><br />
Cupcake Captive. Still messing around with faces and hair and whatnot.<br />
<br />

Misc. Aztec sketches. A kid bored during a class, a woman grinding corn, Moctezuma performing a sacrifice, etc.<br />
<br />

Sketches of Cortes and Malintzin, his young native translator who later bears him children.<br />
<br />

Cupcake Captive. Some racy outfits, some archery. I didn't realize that archery was becoming the new Thing of the summer when I made her an occasional archer.<br />
<br />

Misc. Aztec stuff. More ceremonial Moctezuma, more Spanish guys, some random people including a really ugly lady.<br />
<br />

my Degree Project from RISDIt's been almost two years since I finished my Degree Project at RISD, and I thought I'd drag it out and talk about its few accumulated glories.<br /><br /><iframe

href="http://vimeo.com/13036318">In the Beginning</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/katiewendt">Katie Wendt</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />I was very lucky to have it featured on <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/shorts/in-the-beginning-by-katie-wendt.html">Cartoon Brew</a>, one of the leading blogs in the animation industry today. It was also <a href="http://www.nj.com/suburbannews/index.ssf/2010/12/animated_films_screened_at_art.html">screened</a> by Arts Guild New Jersey in multiple locations as part of an animated shorts showcase, along with making it into the <a href="http://www.bam.org/view.aspx?pid=2378">Animation Block Party 2011</a> screening in NYC.<br /><br />I also received very kind invitations from festival directors to submit to the <a href="http://www.insightfestival.co.uk/">Insight Film Festival</a>, <a href="http://miff.com.au/">Melbourne International Film Festival</a>, and <a href="http://www.floridafilmfestival.com/">Florida Film Festival</a>, among others. A lack of time and confidence kept me from submitting, but I'm very grateful for the invitations, which were incredibly graciously given.<br /><br />I was also approached about having 'In the Beginning' included in an American Animation Showcase, which screens at American embassies around the world, and would have involved my traveling with the showcase and discussing my project with both diplomats at other artists. Unfortunately, the Department of State had the final say in the pieces chosen for the showcase, and my piece was declined due to its religious content, which could potentially cause problems in countries whose policy isn't to take religion lightly. This was another offer which, while I was disappointed that I could not be involved, was extremely flattering, and I'm glad that a showcase exists even if my piece couldn't be included in it.<br /><br />I plan to create another animated short sometime in the near future; one of my graphic novel projects, Cupcake Captive, will probably turn into an animated short. My work will continue to explore and deconstruct preconceived notions of what makes us "different" from one another, and reconstruct it into similarities between us. Through my work I will always seek to encourage people to understand those who they feel most alienated from, and to approach the uncomfortable and the unknown with an open mind and willingness to learn about their world and their selves--to seek both the facts of life, and the truth of life.Katie Wendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17379235834379185134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098516800643686154.post-27534570110245758882012-01-14T23:01:00.003-05:002012-01-14T23:10:29.812-05:00Some cleaned up Aztec charactersI've thankfully been making a lot of progress on my Aztec graphic novel's plot and design.<br /><br />A guy right now only known as 'Gambling Problem'.

Mostly faces. Some of these people are just random citizens, others are main character ideas. Moctezuma is in there, as well as one Spanish guy, some hand gestures for Cortes' translator Malintzin, and so on.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/100111-aztec-misc.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/100111-aztec-misc-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />Cupcake Captive costumes and character designs. There were going to be ninjas who were misused porn stars, but I'm not sure they're going to fit into the story anymore.

Originally, Mark was going to be tempted by a perfect suburban family life with Callie, but it made sense to replace it with something a little less intimate, in the grand scheme of the show. But it was also adorable, I didn't want to let the designs of the little Mark and Callie kiddies die, so here they are.<br /><br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/UA/207-markfantasy1.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/UA/207-markfantasy1-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/UA/207-markfantasy2.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/UA/207-markfantasy2-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/UA/207-markfantasy3.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/UA/207-markfantasy3-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />Also, I had a great time in Ottawa at the Animation Festival with the <a href="http://augenblickstudios.com/news/">Augenblick crew</a>, and it was great seeing old friends again.

The new episodes will air on Comedy Central in June. YOU should consider watching, the new episodes are already shaping up to be pretty crazy.<br /><br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/glitter-1.jpg"><br /><br />In my non-employed time I've been working on some personal projects, including my Aztec graphic novel and another smaller comic project that is, for the time being, called Cupcake Captive, about a pornstar who decides to become a samurai. <br /><br />Here's some Cupcake Captive stuff.<br /><br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cupcakecaptive1.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cupcakecaptive1-thumb.jpg"></a> <a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cupcakecaptive2.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cupcakecaptive2-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />I'm hoping that Cupcake Captive gets me warmed up for my Aztec project, which is going to include a larger cast of main characters now instead of focusing only on the twins. They're still in there though. <br /><br />The twins, around the time of the main plot and younger.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-twinsketches.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-twinsketches-thumb.jpg"></a> <a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-twinsaskids.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-twinsaskids-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />Here are some secondary and main cast characters. At the top left there's some deity impersonators, and the guys with feathers on their heads are musicians. Bottom left is two different possibilities for Malinche, Cortes' translator and mistress.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-secondary.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-secondary-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />And some characters who might eventually be specific people but right now are mostly just miscellaneous possibilities, except for the guy with the beard, who might eventually be Bernal Diaz, one of Cortes' conquistadors who wrote an eyewitness account of the invasion. The guys with all the padding are ball players, who I'm planning on making pretty similar to high school football jocks. There's a weirdly analogous aspect to the Aztec ballgames and high school football, with the prep school competing against the 'public' school.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-misc2.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-misc2-thumb.jpg"></a> <a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-misc1.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-misc1-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />And here are just some people from the subway. Note that most of them are turned away from me. That's because I'm creepy and only draw people when they aren't watching me.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/subwaypeople.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/subwaypeople-thumb.jpg"></a>Katie Wendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17379235834379185134noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098516800643686154.post-73026377903149686842010-12-18T14:45:00.005-05:002010-12-18T15:32:27.543-05:00My Christmas Present to You: COOKIESI made cookies today to send to friends and loved ones, and the post office closed an hour early so I didn't get to send them. DANG! So instead I'm going to post the super-fancy photo-illustrated recipe.<br /><br />These are very lamely and nerdily inspired by all of the research I've been doing on Aztecs lately. They're chocolate-chip sandwich cookies with a little bit of chipotle powder in them so they're a little spicy, and the frosting to sandwich them is honey-vanilla-cinnamon buttercream. These are also good without the frosting if it's not your thing.<br /><br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cookies1-1.jpg"><br /><br />INGREDIENTS & INSTRUCTIONS<br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cookies2.jpg"><br />Cookies:<br />1 1/2 c. + 1 Tablespoon flour<br />1 teaspoon ground ginger<br />1 tsp. ground cinnamon<br />1/8-1/4 tsp. ground chipotle (for less spice use cayenne pepper or more ginger)<br />1 Tbsp. cocoa powder<br />1/2 tsp. baking powder<br />1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened slightly<br />1/2 c. brown suger, packed<br />1/4 c. honey<br />1 tsp. baking soda<br />1 tsp. vanilla extract<br />~7 oz. chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate mini-chunks)<br />~1/4 c. granulated sugar<br /><br />In a medium bowl (save your big bowl) combine the flour, ginger, cinnamon, chipotle, cocoa, and baking powder. <br /><br />In your big bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until it's evenly mixed and fluffy. Add the honey and vanilla and beat until combined.<br /><br />In a small bowl (or even a shot glass or something), dissolve the baking soda in 1 1/2 tsp. boiling water. I just microwave some water in a coffee mug for 2-3 minutes to get it pretty hot.<br /><br />Beat half of the flour mix into the butter mix, then beat in the baking soda mix, then beat in the rest of the flour mix. If the mix is going to be too dry and crumbly to roll into balls, add a little more soft or melted butter. <br /><br />Add the chocolate chips and refrigerate the dough for about half an hour.<br /><br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cookies3.jpg"> <br /><br />Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Roll the dough into 1"-2" balls depending on how big you want your cookies to be. Roll the balls in the granulated sugar and flatten slightly on the baking sheets. Because I wanted to make them sandwich cookies I made smaller, flatter cookies.<br /><br />Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your cookies. When the surface starts to crack it's a good indicator to take them out. Let them cool before frosting them.<br /><br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cookies4.jpg"><br /><br />Frosting:<br />1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened<br />2 1/2 c. powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)<br />3 Tbsp. honey<br />1 tsp. cinnamon<br />1-2 tsp. vanilla extract<br /><br />Cream all of the ingredients together.<br /><br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cookies5.jpg"><br /><br />To put the frosting on, I cut the corner off of a sandwich baggie to use it as a bootleg piper. Twist the open end of the baggie tightly closed and go to town.<br /><br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cookies6.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/cookies7.jpg"><br /><br />MERRY CHRISTMAS/HAPPY HOLIDAYS!Katie Wendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17379235834379185134noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098516800643686154.post-45414460765231249772010-10-03T22:53:00.006-04:002010-10-04T00:36:39.717-04:00Graphic novel development stuffI've been working on two graphic novel projects. The one that I've been thinking about since Freshman year, but is currently on hold, is set in India around the War of 1812 and based loosely (very loosely) on the Kalki Purana, a Hindu religious text. <br /><br />The protagonist and love interest as youths.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/india-protagonists-med.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/india-protagonists-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />The antagonist as a little girl and during the main storyline.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/india-kali-med.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/india-kali-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br />And the other one that I'm working harder on right now is set in the Aztec capital during the Spanish invasion by Cortes and the conquistadors around 1518-1522. <br /><br />The protagonists are going to be twin girls. Typically when twins were born, the younger one was killed as twins were considered a health hazard for the parents. The twins' mother dies in childbirth and their father has the second twin spared after her death.<br /><br />The twins' parents on their wedding night.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-parents-marriage.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-parents-marriage-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />Their parents a little later on--the twins' birth and their father (waiting to hear about the birth and a little older).<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-parents-birth-med.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-parents-birth-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />A couple of developmental sketches of the twins themselves, but I don't know if they'll end up looking like this. Lots of different ages represented.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-mt-med.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-mt-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />One of the twins wants to participate in politics and the other wants to participate in religion. The political twin has plans to marry a noble and the religious twin plans to be sacrificed as a human representative of the goddess she's a priestess to, Xochiquetzal, the goddess of music, poetry, and everything pleasant. She wants to be sacrificed to join her former companion, a boy who is sacrificed as the god Xochipilli.<br /><br />Here's Xochipilli.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-xochipilli-med.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-xochipilli-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />This is a friend of the religious twin's--she also works as a priestess for Xochiquetzal. Xochiquetzal's priestesses act as consorts to victorious warriors and ball players, who were not allowed to be married due to their professions. They dyed their hair purple, wore yellow makeup, red mouth stain, and chewed gum. This girl's name is Nenextli, 'little doll'.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-nenextli-med.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-nenextli-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />Here are some more harlots (as they were referred to by the Spanish).<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-harlots-med.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-harlots-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />The priestesses of Xochiquetzal were distinguishable from common prostitutes by the turquoise lip plug and ear plugs that they wore, a sign of a higher class citizen.<br /><br />Some miscellaneous character sketches. A ballplayer, midwife, and Xochipilli's silhouette. To the right of them is a profile of Moctezuma/Montezuma's nephew who wants to take his place as ruler, Cacamatzin. Also, two young girls (I guess?), and one of Moctezuma/Montezuma's daughters that's given to Cortes as a gift.<br /><a href="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-misc-med.jpg" target="blank"><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/aztec-misc-thumb.jpg"></a><br /><br />I'm excited to keep working on the Aztec project right now. Right now the plan is to tell the story in three volumes, with volume I taking place during the year preceding the Spanish arrival in the Mexican capital city, volume II taking place during their stay and the imprisonment of Moctezuma, and volume III taking place during the siege and period following the Spanish conquest. My goal is to capture a feeling of the Spanish as invaders rather than discoverers, and to explore what it would be like to have your established life, with a charted past and supposedly foreseeable and planned future, destroyed and changed so drastically. I also want to try and make a culture and way of life that feels distant and esoteric to us as modern people feel more human and relate-able than we tend to think of it.Katie Wendthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17379235834379185134noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098516800643686154.post-70867651527870197912010-10-03T01:53:00.001-04:002010-10-03T01:55:29.266-04:00My Degree Project<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/13036318?portrait=0" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><br /><br />I was going to wait to make it public but I don't think it will make much of a difference either way at this point.

When I said a trailer for my degree project was coming soon, I lied. Straight up. <br /><br />But good things are happening. I survived the rest of the year at RISD, finished my degree project a week late, and went on to have a super time at the FAV Senior Show.<br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/photo-tarame-seniorshow.jpg"><br />I have to hide behind <a href="http://www.bearsbearsmillionaires.com" target="blank">Tara's</a> wonder.<br /><br />And then I graduated, hallelujah.<br /><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/capsalbum/photo-graduating.jpg"><br /><br />And I was lucky enough to immediately start work at <a href="http://www.augenblickstudios.com" target="blank">Augenblick Studios</a> after graduating, mostly as a storyboard revisionist but I had fun picking up extra background and prop work. I'm happily starting up again, in a new position, in about a week. <br /><br />'In the Beginning' was also selected to screen in this year's <a href="http://animationblock.com/summerfest2010/" target="blank">Animation Block Party</a>! It was a huge honor to be in a festival with so many talented artists and amazing submissions, and it will ease the pain of my rejection from Ottawa. Congratulations to <a href="http://www.tubbirdbelty.com" target="blank">Barbara</a> for winning best student piece!! I had to edit this post because I forgot to add that a couple of very very kind people have also been nice enough to mention 'In the Beginning' in their blogs and write-ups of the festival. <a href="http://adamansorge.blogspot.com/2010/08/animation-block-party.html" target="blank">Adam Ansorge</a> has a nice rundown of the festival, and <a href="http://www.wavegardenarts.com/Main_ImageViewer35.swf">Chris Robadue</a> saw it at the RISD FAV Senior Show, and had some excellent things to say about other projects in the Senior Show as well.<br /><br />Guess what?
