Captain EO Year One is a Fan Project by Annamaria Ward. #EOY1
Hey-O! It’s EO! The name is Eric Ocean but don’t you dare call him that, only his parents use his full name…. and maybe a teacher or two. EO is 17 years old and is about to enter his Capstone year at the Academy. He has a good heart but can at times be a little over-ambitious when trying to reach his goals. What is his dream? It’s his dream to have skills worthy of the command so he can become a Captain, maybe even a commander just like his grandfather. He hopes to maybe even help some folks along the way. To do this he has to work with a crew of other students (who are also completing their Capstone years), he isn’t sure if he will get along with any of them, but he is going to do his best.
New art posts will drop like an old-school episode every Thursday. Next Thursday we will see EO from several angles.
See behind-the-scenes decisions and work in progress in my Patreon. This month I will be sharing my logo design process for the Captain EO Year One logo. As the project grows I plan to share more on there and eventually create an art of booklet.

Digital Painting Redraw 2021 (top) VS 2011 (bottom)
My first digital painting of 2021! It is a redraw of the first real digital painting that I ever made ten years ago in 2011. I dedicate it to my dad who encouraged me by buying me a Wacom tablet that year. I remember showing him the original drawing and how much he praised it. It made me want to keep improving and growing. I’m excited about the journey of growth my work will go through in the next ten years.

It’s October! Hurray! Recreated a drawing of my Pumpkin Witch Halloween costume from last year
I really love October drawing challenges! Not doing one this year but my Witchtober prints from last year are once again available in my shop!

I made a piece to show how I feel about a 2020 indoor dining experience. Several versions of this piece have sat on my computer for the last three months. I didn’t think it would still be relevant in September 2020… but here we are.

I’m very excited about the fall season. One of my favorite memories as a child was watching the film, ‘Beatrix Potter- The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends’ and for some reason, I’ve always identified it with spring and fall. Do you have any books you associate with fall? Here Peter Rabbit finds the Perfect Pumpkin for his mother.

This is a rough idea for the grandmother of my witch girl character (who I now have a name for! It’s Autumn!) This is how most of my characters look before I try to finalize it. She owns her own farm that human tourists like to come to visit during the fall. Very much inspired by the farms in the area I live in. I’m trying to explore what her workday outfit looks like versus a more casual look.

Annagator #339. I haven’t drawn in nearly two months. I was getting bored with what I was making and just needed a break. In that time we got a new cat! I’m finally feeling excited to draw again starting with simple doodles (for my eyes only) and perhaps a few comics.
