InkTober: In Memorial

 



 


Title: InkTober: In Memorial
Date: October 2014
Medium: Ink
Scale: Varies.

Notes: Every InkTober thus far, I have been very productive. Somehow this one got away from me. It's okay though, this semester has been one of extreme growth and I can't complain. I still had lots of fun sketching really fast for this InkTober and I hope to jump in next year.
Babies


Title: Babies
Medium: Gouache on Canvas
Scale: Each 'piece' is 3" x 3"

Notes: At the upcoming Holiday Bazaar at MCA, I will be selling these with their Illustration Club. Just a quick, fun experiment with some gouache.

The Offering


Title: The Offering
Medium: Gouache on Illustration Board
Scale: Original is approx. 3.5" x 14"

Notes: Ashley has a huge fascination with all things water-borne, so I thought it would be awesome to paint a piece specifically for her. The photo didn't turn out the greatest so it looks better in person, but it was a ton of fun to just stop questioning and just paint.

And More Zoodles

 

Title: And More Zoodles
Medium: Ink, Graphite, Charcoal
Scale: Each 'page' is approx. 2.5" x 4"

Notes: Zoodles is probably one of the best things to do during a lunch break. I would suggest anyone to go and just draw up all the animals and people at the local zoo. They are sooo much fun! More to come on these...

Pre-School Experiments

Birthday Present for Mimi


Title: Birthday Present for Mimi
Medium: Gouache on Illustration Board
Scale: Original is approx. 8" x 10"

Notes: Ashley came up to me not too long ago and was like... "You should do this painting for Mimi." She proceeded to describe what she thought would look good and I was like... TIME FOR REFERENCE. And so here is the result. 
The puppy pictured is our little papillon, "Gypsy". This was for a birthday present. :)

Supernatural: Mini-Paintings


Title: Supernatural: Mini-Paintings
Medium: Gouache on Illustration Board
Scale: Each painting is approx. 3.5" x 4"

Notes: Just using reference and exaggerating it for fun. Really just practicing traditional painting. Taking reference and just pushing it hard.

Fantasy Character Portrait A


Title: Fantasy Character Portrait A
Date: August 14, 2014
Medium: Photoshop CS6

Notes: I was staring at the old Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale character portraits that were done some time ago, and was like... I want to try that! So this is just my first attempt at a fantasy character portrait done in that style. Trying to see if I can manipulate reference for my own purpose while still keeping my painterly style. I think this was a pretty successful attempt...
The comic version in my opinion just looks so graphic and awesome. It was just a play with the filters and managed to make it look sweet! More on this soon...

Invaders MUST DIE!

2:47 PM art , character 0 Comments
The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die (Full Album)

Flight


Title: Flight
Medium: Oils
Scale: Original image is around 4ft x 2ft

Notes: No joke... this is the biggest painting I've ever done.
For some reason I had this in my head early on. Before I even started painting it I kind of knew exactly what I wanted to paint. Not only that, but this was one of the first real attempts at doing anything in oil that was more than just black and white. Oh this was so exciting to me and I definitely DEFINITELY want to do more of this.

Dust Sprites


Title: Dust Sprites
Date: February 14, 2013
Medium: Gouache
Scale: Original image is 15" x 20"

Notes: This was a birthday present for my special lady friend. She loves these little guys! I wish I could be as happy as they are all the time! They are from Miyazaki films such as Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro.

Serious Face


Title: Serious Face
Medium: Oils
Scale: Original is 9" x 12"

Notes: This was my first attempt at oil paints ever. I think it turned out okay, but those eyes are still wonky. From what I hear you can just go right over oil paints with more oil paints. OOHHH I'm so excited about Oil painting!

Sketchin' the Night Away





Title: Sketchin' the Night Away
Medium: Graphite
Scale: Each 'page' is 9" x 12"

Notes: These are all just various things that pop into my head while relaxing as well as doing sketches for different assignments. Just a small sampling really, but I thought I would share.

Independent Study -- Foundlings

5:53 AM art , concept art 0 Comments
Independent Study: Foundlings 1 - 4


Title: Independent Study: Foundlings 1 - 4
Date: October 1 - 5, 2013
Medium: Photoshop CS3, Pencil
Scale: Varies

Notes: The first sketches of the Foundlings, the second archetype for the game.
They look like children, but are actually extremely powerful and magically active. They have a form of mutation that causes them to age (internally) very rapidly, and they unfortunately only have a lifespan of about twelve years or so... Each point of mutation causes the skeleton and musculature to coil around rock formations that protrude from the skin.
Also the area that they live in is inhabited by 'Nurses' or Mamas.
For the first week I'm just doing a ton of studies based around children and costumes and also vintage style nurses and cyberpunk nurses.

Independent Study: Environment Studies 2


Title: Independent Study: Environment Studies 2
Date: October 3, 2013
Medium: Photoshop CS3

Notes: I never got to post these the other day, but this is more of that environment study.
I think I will actually want to do more of these before too long as they are actually really good for helping with composition. Although I might want to start doing some color versions...

Independent Study: Portraits


Title: Independent Study: Portraits
Date: October 2, 2013
Medium: Graphite, Brush and Ink, Goauche

Notes: I'm still having fun taking the Just Busted magazine and turning it into portrait studies. It's not the greatest as a ton of the portraits are pretty washed out, but it has the entire gamut of human emotion in it.

Illustration 3 -- Uprising (100 Circles and Silhouettes)

2:54 PM art , gouache 0 Comments
Muse -- "Uprising"

100 Circles






Title: 100 Circles
Date: August 19 - 26, 2013
Medium: Pencil, Gouache, Ink and Brush
Scale: Each 'page' is 9" x 12"

Notes: We were to paint 100 circles of differing colors (trying not to repeat colors if at all possible) and use those as our driving tool for creating objects and illustrations inside of each. We could combine circles to create a larger piece or break the frame of the circle, the main point was to use the circle as a focal point.

This was actually a really interesting exercise and I found out that doing them while watching TV really helps a ton. You start to force yourself to see things that you wouldn't normally see. I tried to slightly coordinate the circle's color with the object placed inside so that it would further reinforce the image placed into it. I'm not sure it worked out 100%, but I tried.
See if you can guess all the references... there are fifteen in total. Good luck.

40 Silhouettes







Title: 40 Silhouettes
Date: August 19 - 26, 2013
Medium: Pencil, Brush and Ink
Scale: Each 'page' is 9" x 12"

Notes: The next assignment we have is to simplify 40 objects into basic silhouettes.
I instantly broke these down into groups for some reason (maybe I unconsciously read ahead on the syllabus?).  Either way, I tried to find some interesting silhouettes that were nearby, or that I already had a reference image of. That way I wouldn't have to travel far.
The next step is take each of the silhouettes that we found and trace them into a basic outline and make something completely different inside of them. The point is to sort of do a juxtaposition of outer shape as a whole with a different illustration on the inside. As of right now I'm really enjoying the Destruction through Nature set (group 10).
