Illustration 4: Ascension Returns










Title: Illustration 4: Ascension Returns
Medium: Photoshop CS3

Notes: So... you thought you would never see this project again, didn't you.
If you go back to the very first post here... there's a chunk for my associate degree undergrad for the Ascension card game.
There has been many, many changes since then, but this is closer to how I envisioned it from then.
For this project we had little more than a month to come up with a full card deck. I immediately jumped on the bandwagon to redo this old-as-hell project and decided to take it a step further and see if I could act in-lieu of art director and pull in two other students as well.
Britney Boswell and Robert Burns were both recruited into this mad-house of a card project. We were each to do eighteen fully illustrated cards for this card game and then assemble them all together in a coherent deck.
This is of course only a small sampling of the card game as a whole, as there are approximately 480 or so cards for the first set. But this is my go at it... I want to revisit a bunch of these as well as continue working more on these.
Either way, this is such a fun and passion-fueled project that I hope I can see the project one day become something fully worthy of the effort involved.

DJ Shadow - Organ Donor

So it's been a minute since I've uploaded anything to my blog... too busy with homework lately. Plus Spring Break has kind of given me some internet laziness.

I would just like to throw it out there that I'm still alive and kickin'.

Not much to talk about today and only a few pieces scanned from my sketchbook.

Rebellion


Title:  Rebellion
Date: March 26, 2013
Medium: Ink
Scale: Original is approx. 8.5" x 11"

Notes:  This is literally a quote from my fiancee. She is such a clever lady, that one. 


Punk is Dead


Title:  Punk is Dead
Date: March 23, 2013
Medium: Ink

Notes:  Simplified version of an image that I saw not too long ago. I thought it would look awesome simplified in comic form!


Girls Just Wanna Have Fun


Title:  Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Date: March 18?, 2013
Medium: Ink
Scale: Original is 11" x 14"

Notes:  A cropped version of another ink drawing that I did recently. It is a sort of complex version of the simplification method that I've been using lately. I think it's interesting how it looks like not only a girl with a coat, but she sort of looks like she is part bug or floating in water or with a cloak.
