About Emily
Hello — I’m Emily! I was born in June of 1983, graduated from Sheridan College’s classical animation program in 2005, and moved out to Vancouver, British Columbia about a week after that to work in the television animation industry. I live with fellow artist Kate Craig and our large and rather bow-legged cat, Tuco.
In addition to the work on this site, I also maintain a number of galleries devoted to my various interests: my Gaming Flickr Set houses all my video game related fan art, my Dune Flickr Set showcases all my fan art relating to the Dune series by Frank Herbert, and Draw This Dress is a tumblr where Vera Brosgol and I challenge each other to draw various fashions from bygone eras.
A Little Bit About My Process: I work primarily in Photoshop (for an example of the custom brushes I use, please see this sampling), but all of my comics are inked first on smooth bristol, mostly with a nib and a bit of drybrushing thrown in, and then scanned and coloured on the computer. I use custom textures I’ve scanned in myself, typically ink washes on smooth illustration board (example), and apply them in Photoshop to try to give the digital colour more of an organic feel.
(I’m constantly learning and fooling around with different methods of working though, so this is apt to change anytime!)
