Wedding Gift

Don't know why it took me so long to post this. I did this illustration as a wedding gift for my good friend Josh and his wife Jena, who got married back in August (I think it was August...time flies!). It was a beautiful wedding and I knew their venue ahead of time, so I wanted to give them something special to remember their big day. I think they were thrilled, hopefully at least. :)
From than on I've thought about offering this "service" to anyone who might be interested and maybe I'll open up an Etsy store one day or something similar. But for now I'll just post this and say if anyone wants to give a special gift to a loved one you can contact me with serious inquires at: brittniebruner@gmail.com and I'll discuss commission details.
Note: Keep in mind these things take time, so don't hit me up for a birthday you've got tomorrow. ;)

Thanks and take care!

Fairytales and Castles

If you know me, it come as no surprise that I love fairytales! So this wont be the last post with something to do with fairytales.
These Alice in Wonderland characters were done awhile go just for fun after reading the story and looking at various golden era illustrations depicting the story. So I thought I would take a crack at a line up. In order from left to right: Alice, Knave of Heats, Queen of Hearts, King of Hearts, The Hatter, White Rabbit, and Cheshire Cat. 

And here are just some castle concepts, also for fun. I intend on going back to these and developing more. But for now, these are just a start.

Thanks for stopping by! Take care!

Work - Disney Interactive

Here's some of the stuff I've done at work over the past year or so. These are all early concepts for various online/mobile games and look nothing like the final products. But that's how it always works. ;) These are all copyright Disney Interactive!

Annabel Lee and Wisdom

A little while back some of the artists at work were doing weekly challenges for fun with themes to use as inspiration. Here are a couple I completed.
One was to illustrate Annabel Lee:
"...For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea."
Edgar Allan Poe
I liked the idea she was in a watery grave and her lover comes back to mourn her. I'm always fond of the depressing stories!

Another was based on this proverb:
"Out in the open Wisdom calls aloud,
she raises her voice in the public square; on top of the wall she cries out,
at the city gate she makes her speech:
“How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?"
(Proverbs 1:20-22 TNIV)" 
I wanted to go with the sadness wisdom must feel when no one listens. And since owls are often associated with wisdom, that was my train of thought. Plus I just wanted to draw an owl ;)

Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

Another Winter Illustration

Family Christmas

I painted this for my husband this year for Christmas. Its our family: me, my husband, our dog Jordan and our new kitten Link. Link loves! Jordan, but Jordan only tolerates Link, or so he wants us to believe. When we aren't looking he likes to cuddle up with the kitty. ;) Anyway, Happy Holidays everyone! Take care!

Out of Hibernation

To all who still remain and check this blog, I'm so sorry its been such awhile, it seems to have been a common theme with me in the past to neglect this blog. But I'm going to try and change that in the coming year. This past year has been...enlightening. ;) I've learned a lot and hopefully improved at least a little. I'm going into this up coming new year with determination to accomplish the things I've been telling myself for years I want to get done. So now's the time! So if there's anyone still out there, I thank you for your continued support and patience. Happy Holidays everyone and I hope you have a wonderful New Year! :)
Here's a little winter illustration I did.

It's Been Awhile

My apologies for the long delay in posts. Here's a large environment I did for the same game I've posted images for before. I left the picture frame lines in to give an idea of what the viewer can see at one time. The waterfall in the back is a placeholder because the animator on the project intends to animate a water fall. Anyway thanks for all who stop by to view what I have to offer. Take care! :)

More Development for Video Game

Work

Hey everyone! Sorry again for the long delay between posts. I'm keeping myself far too busy. Above are some concepts I've been working on with a team from Switzerland on a game they hope to release in the near future. I'll be able to post artwork from it periodically and when there are more details I'll post that as well. For now though here's a little taste. All images are copy right to Eric Schwegler. Thanks for stopping by! More to come later. Take care!

Victorian Backgrounds

Here are some of the background concepts for the same project as the characters below. Still working on the bottom one- its just at a very rough pass. All images copyright. Thanks!

Victorian Characters

Yeah! Finally a new post. These are just some characters I've been developing for a secret project, can't share details. I'm still developing the two male characters, but thought it would be fun to show the beginning process before the details. All images are copyright. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by.

Girls

Here's another project I've been working on lately. Again can't say much but its a fun project. I'll have more up soon. Image copyright Inverse Studios 2010.

Dogs

Sneaking Out

Here's another project I've been working on recently. I can't say much about it and this is the only image I can post for it cause it doesn't give much away. Its in the very preliminary stages so its very hush hush. But hopefully later on I can post the rest of the work I've done on it. For now enjoy this little tid bit.
