Multimedia Autobiography and Portfolio

Posted on December 7, 2019 by Nicki Chaput

Alas, I missed posting in November! Well, here’s something I hope makes up for it: my final project for my digital publishing class and my overall portfolio. This class was a lot of work, but I enjoyed most of it.

Here are the watercolor paintings from the remainder of my watercolor class. I had a great time, but I still have a lot to learn.

Inspired by those “hang in there” posters, except instead of a kitten you get a two-toed sloth.

I love ballet and fossas, so I decided to combine the two.

Doodle of a weird (yet very cute) creature: the golden mole. They have vestigial eyes beneath the skin of their faces. ?

Reflections on My Freshman Year of College

Uploaded a new YouTube video! Basically talking about what’s to come on the channel (and by extension this website and my Tumblr).

Well, here we are, more than two months since my last figure drawing class in January, finally uploading a few of the drawings i made then. We experimented with several different mediums, but my favorite was definitely pen, so most of my better drawings are pen rather than charcoal or graphite/pencil.

(CW: self harm/suicide)

An illustration of my favorite character from the latest novel I’ve read, Lincoln in the Bardo. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, although it does deal with death (including the death of children) in pretty graphic detail.
