Last thing I drew at Fanime, tribute art to one of my favorite comic book ladies, Ramona Flowers.

I can't friggin wait for the last book. And because I know people are going to ask, Yes I'm stoked for the movie, I think Micheal Cera will be a fine and dandy Scott Pilgrim, and everything is going to be wonderful because everything Edgar Wright touches turns to rainbows.

Uh, so this is what happens when the weekend's conversation is dominated by Adventure Time and The Mighty Boosh.

We thought it was funny.

Fall 2010

Perspective Sketches

My intermediate illustration class was assigned 4 perspective drawings from observation using the information we learned in class. I spent roughly 1.5-3 hours on each of these and sat at the tops of a couple buildings to draw these. They provided quite the challenge and I learned a lot about drawing perspective in the process as made sense of some of the techniques from class.

I should be finding out if I passed the portfolio review by the end of the week, so once I find out I'll post my submission!

Passed my Portfolio Review!

The A/I department finally posted the results for the portfolio review yesterday. All the main characters passed! We spent the rest of the day celebrating.

This is all the work I submitted. Some of it's been posted here before but I'm including it for the sake of reference for other people.

Fall Class Work 2011

This semester I took two art classes, Intermediate Drawing and Intermediate Animation. Here's a collection of work from both classes.
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
The big project this year was to design a forest inspired by Midsummer Night's Dream. We were required to create both a day time and enchanted night forest. Many steps went into creating the final paintings, such as thumbnailing and small comps, a pencil line drawing, a pencil rendering and color comps.

Winter 2012 Sketches

Gary Soto Kitchen Project

For my beginning visual development class we were asked to design a kitchen based on the writings of Gary Soto, as he grew up in a lower to middle class family in the 1950's.
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Much of the class had never painted digitally before, so to warm up we chose an object from our own kitchen to break in our photoshop shoes. I chose my electric kettle.

After many thumbnails, careful planning and revisions we sketched the line drawings of two views of our kitchens. Following this was pencil renderings with two versions of lighting for each view. Once that was completed we picked one rendering to paint in color. After the final paintings were turned in, the teacher asked us to repaint a selection of our image and apply what we learned from the final critique and the other student's work.

This project was extremely difficult and pushed many of my boundaries. My strengths do not lie in perspective and man made objects, and I had never painted in photoshop before. Over all I am happy with my design work though my technical experience could use some more skill points. I can't say I'm happy with my final painting, I feel I could have done a better job unifying colors and staying closer to my lighting study. I am much more satisfied with my selection painting as I was able to fix many of the problems I faced in the full piece, though I still have a lot to learn.

I'm pretty excited to be finished with the kitchens and I'm super stoked for our current project, designing tree houses!

Tree House Project

Right after the kitchen project we started our Tree Houses. We were required to do interior and exterior views of our tree house, set to fit in the same "film" as our kitchens.

And the final paints! There's some compositional, lighting and color problems but I am significantly more satisfied with my treehouses than I was with my kitchens. I think I'm starting to get the hang of digital painting.

Before classes started up again, I needed to brush up on my digital painting skills.

Still life of things on my desk.

Between the study, sometimes I can actually squeeze in something fun. Neil Gaiman's Death and Delirium as a gift for my friend's birthday. Feels good to do something traditionally for once.
Concept art for the upcoming Darkness and Dekay story.
Plus a handful of sketchbook junk.

October Things 2012

So it's not October anymore but I drew most of these last month so shush.  Assorted things from my sketchbooks and tumblr posts including Darkness and Dekay, Nicki Minaj, style imitations of Batman TAS and Gravity Falls and Attack the Block.
 I am a huge fan of both Community and Team Fortress, and they fit together a little too well.
 Though the last few months I had been chipping away at the 30 Day Monster Girl Challenge that was going around the internet with some friends and wow was it a lot of fun.
 This year I participated in Misha Colins's Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen (GISHWHES for short) and one of the challenges called for a drawing of the scavenger hunt host and the Queen of England in steampunk garb riding a single stallion. I added the Queen's corgi's for good measure.
I finally saw Wreck-It Ralph earlier this week and I just HAD to draw myself as a Sugar Rush racer. Good movie, great film.
