[33] Home of the wild Kimono Dragon.

2010-05-01T20:03:00.000-07:00

Honors Portfolio assignment, topic: plastic surgery. Not sure if you can count magic as plastic surgery, but it's close enough.

Personal work. Commander Shepard

[32] First you boil the water..

2010-04-05T17:16:00.000-07:00

Then you add the moss.CHAPTER ONE. Honors Portfolio, 3rd assignment. We were supposed to pick one of four songs/poems provided and do an illustration based off of it. None of them really appealed to me or worked for my portfolio, so I took one line very literally and did that.

"I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss"

Quick Studies midterm - take a homework study and make a finished painting.

Still Life - Week's topic was unusual compositions

[30] The Penis mightier than the sword

2010-03-12T14:00:00.000-08:00

Portrait assignment for honors portfolio, and some more quick studies. I enjoyed landscape painting day, it's way more relaxed than painting from models. No timer ticking down. They're all 1hr except the beach was about 40mins.

[29] Quick Studies

2010-03-05T21:10:00.000-08:00

A few quick studies in-class amd homework paintings. These are all 40 minutes except the last was a one hour pose.

More creature design. Rottweiler, and cerberus. Dogs r hard.

Garrus, a true bro.

[27] I hate reading too.

2010-02-17T15:53:00.000-08:00

First project for Honors Portfolio. The sentence was "Communication breakdown". I imagined the conversation while i was painting it.

gnome: "Tell us everything!"
red: "We have your papers, now speak!"
prisoner: "why don't you just read it?"
green: "We don't read!" *SMACK*

Creature design is hectic, shame it's online, but oh well. First two weeks' assignments. An ape, and then a satyr based on it and goat features.

[26] doodles

2010-01-16T01:30:00.000-08:00

[24] ROBOTMANDUDE

2009-12-07T23:52:00.001-08:00

Two new pieces from Sci-fi illustration.

This is a cover illustration for The Iron Man, which isn't about Ironman. It's the book that the iron giant was based on, except this one doesn't have guns and stuff.

This is our free project. I did a depiction of Asgard, the home of the Norse gods. It'll go with my last narrative piece which is Odin.

[23] More stuff.

2009-11-11T19:02:00.000-08:00

Dragonflower. This was a sci fi assignment. The story was created by Stephen, it's about a 2 million year old girl who has dragons and lives in peace until a 2 million year old cyborg jerk comes in to ruin everything with his mechanical dragons. Then they have psychic battles and then they magic merge and become the first human. This is a book jacket.

Narrative project. Pretty happy with this one.
"The clock repairman was rather intense"

[22] Caricatures and topless women

2009-10-26T09:22:00.000-07:00

The caricatures session in heads and Hands 2 was fun. Drawing classmates is always a blast.

all 7min poses except the one that says 20.

These are from the 'workshop' Chuck Pyle set up for the prospective students, he asked a few current students to go as well, so Emerson, Angeline and I came by and drew for a few hours. I really miss Clothed figure drawing. I played around with the last one in Photoshop.

All 20min poses.

[21] SOCCER

2009-10-17T21:09:00.001-07:00

And this uhhh. Yeah.

[20] I suck at blog titles.

2009-09-20T16:33:00.000-07:00

First two assignments of the semester, lots more coming fast. Narrative Painting is awesum class, very inspiring to be with so many awesome people.

[19] Second to last semester!

2009-09-13T23:23:00.000-07:00

Two finished pieces I did over the summer. This semester should be heavy on portfolio pieces with sci-fi and narrative painting. fun fun fun.

Oil on canvas. mostly for practice with traditional media. I had more in mind for this one, but with school starting, I ran out of time.

Smashypants the dwarf. He'll smash your pants.

More penguins for adv. perspective.

[14] Perspective Penguin

2009-04-14T17:16:00.000-07:00

First of too many final illustrations for adv. perspective.

[13] clichee unimaginative guy with guns...

2009-04-06T23:37:00.000-07:00

... is not worth finishing. When you flip it 180 degrees it kinda looks like he's freefalling and shooting randomly in panic. Actually, it kinda looks like that whether you flip it or not.

PS: glows are fun.

[12] Painter Practice

2009-03-20T17:02:00.001-07:00

Painted over a drawing from Clothed Fig 2

Week two of adv perspective:

[8] The Lazy Samurai

2009-02-06T21:33:00.000-08:00

Advanced perspective, first topic was Samurai. After raking my brains trying to find the coolest thing imaginable I could draw, I decided to chronicle the adventurers of the worthless, easily-distracted lazy samurai. Not very happy with the third one.

[7] Penguins

2008-12-19T10:53:00.000-08:00

Final project for illustration 2. The first part was to render an animal realistically. Then, we had to take that animal and make a character out of it, for whatever we wanted. I made a penguin Shaman-warrior tribe.

There are three warrior archtypes in the tribe. At the left is the hunter. He is the supplier of food for the tribe, hunting seals, bears, geologists, Eskimos, fish, and dragons. In the middle is the shaman, shamans use their mystical powers to bring fire to the race of penguins, they are generally tribe leaders. At the right, is the defender. Defenders fight to the death to protect their tribes from whatever danger may come upon them. The most feared enemy of penguins is the Orca.

My finished Child Obesity editorial, had the rough up a couple posts ago, finally got to taking a picture of it:

The one figure painting I did that doesn't look like the artist is a drooling retard. I don't get oils.

2008-12-05T20:06:00.001-08:00

Children's book illustration project for Ill2. Robin Hood, in the sky. He steals from rich sky people and gives it to... poor sky people. (Watercolor)

[5] Clothed Figure

2008-11-22T11:08:00.000-08:00

I really like the class. Much more than nude figure drawing. Here's a couple 18 I finally got off my butt to take photos of. Dreading and looking forward to clothed fig 3 next semester. Chuck Pyle! -gulp-

[4] Spellsword

2008-11-21T11:19:00.000-08:00

Not happy with the sword in general, but got too much work this weekend to fix it.

[3] Fatties and me

2008-11-20T22:44:00.000-08:00

concepts for Ill2, editorial spot on child obesity, went with the last one. Also, drawing fat people is awesome. some many curves, so little folds.

Self-portrait for Figure Painting. As far as my painting abilities go, it came out pretty ok I think. Probably would have come out nicely if I spent more time on it >_>

Also, I have a mohawk now. Angeline had the bright idea while helping me cut my hair.

[2] Zug Zug

2008-11-09T12:49:00.000-08:00

This must be my first finished personal piece in a loong time, quite happy with how it came out, looks like all those painting classes do help after all.

Orc Rogue (Photoshop)

[1] Time for fun!

2008-11-08T14:43:00.000-08:00

I've now quit World of Warcraft (for the third time). Hopefully, my productivity goes up. so I'll start this off with a goodbye shot of my precious, precious druid.

Next time, I will have some new art to show.
