Winter Quarter 2012

The Fisherman's Trinket

Self Promo Postcard

Work from last Quarter

So I've been a busy busy bee last quarter, the reason why I haven't updated in a while, Im currently working on a traditional painting for commission, im just waiting for the final green light so I can get all the materials I need for it. So I decided to update this thing and show off some fresh work. Hope you like.

These are from my Type and Image class

Illustration for Romeo y Julietta cigars, I designed a cigar box based on this illustration

This is my Alter Ego Self Portrait

These are a series of narrative images I did for portfolio class.

Olivia Wilde

Well I dont usually do realistic stuff as you can probably tell by, I dunno looking at anything ive done before... but I thought I'd try my hand at it, to see if I can do it at all or not. And who better to try it out on than the lovely Olivia Wilde? This took me approximately 5 hours, but yes I did work from a photograph so I do feel a little dirty... but it was a practice of execution not creativity so I dont feel that bad lol. I did have alot of fun with this actually, rendering all the minute details and the textures.... I could definitly do something like this again.

Megan's Endless Fall

So I held a little mini competition on my facebook, and the winner gota free illustration of whatever they wanted. My friend Megan won and wanted me to illustrate her in the game Portal in the middle of "the endless fall."

I was kinda nervous because I had never done a commission like this before, and although I wasn't getting paid for it, it was still supposed to be a "prize" lol so It would of been pretty embarrassing if it came out like crap. All in all though I think it came out pretty good, and she liked it alot and allowed it to grace her profile pic on facebook lol. So maybe I'll be open to commissions in the future :)

:D

Not much to say bout these really... Experimenting with a new way of coloring that my professor showed the class one day. Changed up a little of the finishings to make it my own, but yeah Im pretty happy with how the final results look :)

A Day at the Beach

(Bromance)

Summer Peach

Although very little....the majority voted Peach, so we got Peach! lol....

Overall the whole vote for a subject thing was not very successful haha so ill be removing the illustration "vote for" feature of the blog for now.

Ofcourse its all in your head!.... But why should that mean it isn't real?

God I loved the last Harry Potter soo much, I just had to do something to commemorate it, especially being the last installment of the series! (zomg sad face) When i read the book so much things struck me hard on an emotional level, and I was wondering if the movie would be able to tug at the same heart strings, and it was extremely successful... loll

So for this piece I wanted to include some of the scenes that were really special and outstanding to me, being, Harry's mother speaking to baby Harry before she's murdered, Ron and Hermoine's long awaited kiss, and the Dementors looming over Hogwarts. I also felt it was important to include the duel between Harry and Voldemort, because its become the series' trademark since the 4th movie. I wanted to include the horcuxes but I felt it may of cluttered the piece so I just included the snake, (and I suppose Harry if you want to count him lol) I have Snape and Voldemort next to each other because they represent Harry's protector and killer.

Also, and this is probably for the most astute observers but I did want to include the Deathly Hallows symbol in the piece, so I arranged the composition to make the shape. Harry, elder wand and where the spells crash is ur straight line, tip of the want down the sides making your triangle and Harry at the center making your circle. Anyways nuff of that, hope you like.

Next update will be the Princess Peach spread as voted.
