Fine Art! Finally.

Finally getting around to posting some of the paintings I did in Situation and Environment last semester.... Please pardon my crappy camera. Had to leave the flash on in some of them because my camera does not function well without it.

Also, big thank you to my lovely models, my roommate Lisa (who has put up with me painting/drawing her like 5 million times now), my fellow Art-Slaves Nicole and Anais, and my devastatingly handsome boyfriend Broc.

Buh-luddd

Actually enjoyed this weeks DFI homework, which is pretty much a miracle. Miracle #2 is that I was finished with it by this morning, and able to do the extra credit (values).

Final Project Color comps

A little premature seeing as I won't be dealing with color til next semester, but thought I'd get a few things more finished-looking for leuyen. Also, I was procrastinating on Drawing from Imagination homework, go figure. Now, off to yoga!

Final Project Character Designs

Some rough character design sketches and thumbnails for my final thesis project. The characters are supposed to be a 5-6 year old girl, and a dragon that at first seems fearsome, but is actually friendly. Any feedback is appreciated! :)

New tablet!

This is my first blog post in a long while. After a few "minor" digital setbacks (i.e. my macbook with my whole life on it was ruthlessly stolen), I now have a new mac up and running, and with a slew of new adobe products, and also a brand spankin' new wacom tablet. Below is my first experiment on it, I felt out of practice and rusty, so perhaps starting with a full portrait wasn't the best idea, but oh well. Hopefully I will have some better things to show soon as today was the first day of the semester, til' then bear with me!

One Final Down

As of 10:35 this morning I am officially done with my digital painting final... which has been a crisis and a half, thanks to technology, and the fact that we will never get along. But I managed to salvage a jpeg of it, (though I lost my perfectly organized and labeled layers!) and finish it up. It's not as tight or clean as I would like it to be, if I had another hour or so in the cintiq lab I could probably get it to where I want it, but alas, time is very thin these days. One down, 2 to go! Then 6 weeks of freedom!

Chomp

At night he crawls up onto the beach and eats unsuspecting humans. His biolumesence doesn't activate outside of the water unless he's just fed, so all the warning you have is a giant yellow eye floating slowly toward you before.... CHOMP. Ok, I really need to get out of this lab.
