Endure Doumentary

About a month or two ago completed work doing animated map graphics which I was approached to do for the feature length documentary: Endure. It follows a pair of cyclists who travel around the world in order to raise money for charity. The website is available here.

The map featured in the background of the website is my design.
Here is the full image it shows the routes taken by the cyclists on their journey

Below is an out-take I made that was for a test film when I was trying to decide the look of the graphics I thought about having the paths led by two different coloured cyclist symbols

 in the end though it wasn't used but I quite liked working in this style.

Spring Time (2012)

Spring Time from Janette Monahan on Vimeo.

My graduation film from BCFE. I created it using a mix of hand drawn 2D and 3D animation. A young girl has trouble sleeping made worse with the appearance of a loose bed spring.

Saoirse

Saoirse is a children's book I worked on in aid of the charity Aiobheann's Pink Tie. The series, of which there are currently two in an ongoing series are written by Mick Rochford tells the story of a fairy who is on the search for magical gold hearts and the adventures she finds along the way.

I created designs for the characters and Illustrated the first book with help from Dillon Maxwell, The Second book was illustrated by Lucy Toner.

Both books are available on kindle (click images for links).

 

These are some of my images from the first book

 

Below are some concept sketches for the characters.

Sustained poses

These are some of my more sustained poses from this year except the top one which is from life drawing last year which I hadn't posted yet I feel like it's one of my best.

Newer Life drawings

Newer than the old ones. That last one is darker in real life. I didn't even recognise it when I was looking through the pictures in my camra.
These are Life drawings from this year. There are still more that I havn't photographed yet I'm going to try and post more of  them fairly regularly.

Older Life drawings

A few pictures from classes last year except for one or two that are a little older.

Fowl at the zoo

I like doing studies at the zoo. The jungle fowl were alot of fun to draw.
