My my, it's been a while. Hi deviantART!


I've mostly moved on from this account, but I've been very busy elsewhere. I'm a full-time professional animator now - after Winter Soldier, I ended up working on lots of other movies and shows. Detective Pikachu, Aquaman, Game of Thrones, and... yes... Sausage Party (sorry about that). It's been a long and wild ride and it's not stopping anytime soon.


This week I launched a webcomic with Hiveworks - my beloved Phantomarine! I've been working on it for the past several years, and there's still much story to go. Come check it out if you ever liked my stuff from this account. You might spot some familiar influences here and there...


Hope you all have been well, and that your own art continues to thrive!


All the best, Claire

The newest trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier was released today during the Superbowl. And you should all watch it! Both because it is super awesome... and because I actually got to work on the movie! :D

I had a short contract at Scanline VFX in Vancouver as a junior animator - it was my first major industry animation job, right out of school. And based on how the movie is looking, I'm already incredibly proud to have been a part of it. I've got three little shots in this trailer, and the thought that bajillions of people just saw them... is a little mindblowing. I don't even know the full story of the film (so don't ask me!), but the parts I worked on are looking wicked. I can't wait for people to see.

So go see the movie in April! I think it's gonna be fabulous.

ReBoot - Compilation Poster by EmpressHelenia

Many thanks to :iconcontraltissimo: and :iconlyricanna: for helping it get featured.
What a neat surprise! You guys are awesome.

And to everyone who watched me today, hello! I don't post too much on here anymore (school and work have made fan art production a little harder...) but still feel free to keep an eye on this space. You never know what goodies might pop up. Thank you all for stopping by. I really appreciate it. :)

NOW GO WATCH SOME REBOOT GODDAMNIT
IT NEEDS MORE LOVE

Cheers!

So the February "ReBoot Month" is done!

I eventually want to do another batch of characters, but I'll be taking about three weeks off to work on my senior thesis project for school (I have to… I'm an animator… and it's times like these I wish I was just a photographer…). But I'll be starting up again in the middle of March.

I already have a list worked out, but anyone is free to comment with any specific character they really want to see, and I'll try and work them in. Some of the ones you suggested are already in there, and I'll be doing variations of some characters I've already drawn (game costumes, etc), so those suggestions are welcome too.

At the end, I'll be putting all of these into a poster. Knowing how Rainmaker operates, it's probably not anything I'll be able to sell, nor do I really want to test their patience. :( But it'll still be neat to see them all together in one place. But if any of you have access to a large-scale plotter where you are (like I do!) or a Kinkos or something, you're welcome to print it out for yourself when it's done. No charge. I don't need the money. :)

Thank you all for sticking with me! It's been a blast and it'll definitely continue for a little while longer. Until then… the Empress is out!

Cheers!

ReBoot Forever!

3 min read
After the first shipment got eaten by Canadian customs officers,

my copies of the new ReBoot art book have arrived!




Four of my prints are in there. FOUR! Right at the back!

And they came out beautifully. I'm such a proud mama :heart:

Keep an eye out for the book at conventions, but you can also order it online here: www.beach-studios.com/reboot.h…

Sometimes relentless fangirling takes you to good places... :)
