1000-Yard Moon Laser WIP

Had to do a portrait traditionally for figure drawing. I felt like doing it digitally, so I took a picture and got to work...so here's the greyscale. I want to add color, so wish me luck I suppose!

First pass and second pass.


Got my American civil war infantry soldier cap and a Russian sailor shirt and I didn't feel like drawing the gold laurels so I just turned it into a moon for maximum Sailor Moon references.
Seriously that show is so bad but I love it and I'm excited for the new series.

James "Jamie" McCloud, Adventuring Through Puppyhood!

BIO 200 pivot points assignment. I decided to do a dog...decided on a Scotty...and then I decided to do my dog. He's still a puppy, so the pivot points silhouette isn't his, but the orthos are from pictures I've taken throughout his puppyhood. He's so fluffy now...

Hmm...anything else...I could only find generic dog skeletons so I modified it for Scotty's short little legs.

 

 Look at how proud he is of his stick! >w<

He's about the size of a football in the 7weeks picture, and about 3x that in the 16weeks picture. He's gotten so big!

Okay, I'll stop talking about my dog now... 

Self Portrait in "Monster Lighting"

Komodo Orthos

They look so silly splayed out.

What.

I wanted to do a very "WAT."-worthy creature for line practice. I usually do either hand-drawn or pen tool lines without mixing them because the pen tool leaves much crisper edges in comparison and it doesn't fit in well, but...I mean, I think it turned out okay. If very derpy-looking!

Black outlines were hand-drawn, line for the highlights and spots, the shadow underneath, nostrils and pupils, and to fill in all of the "white" areas on his body were using the pen tool. Sketchy stuff in the background was also hand-done.

Animal in Perspective - Komodo Dragon

Guess I'll do orthos next, but here's the actual assignment.

So adorable <3 I love these guys. They're like giant scaly puppy dogs whose spit can kill you.

ART201 Midterm Color Comps

I did the top three and then I fiddled with saturation and I like the bottom one the best, so I'll stick with that one.

Kissyfaces 2.5

Cleaned up lineart and value comp. Gotta come up with colors now... /sigh

I'm thinking blue and orange...or something. We'll see.

Color Film Stills

Colored Film stills. Huzzah.

Kissyfaces 2.0

They have actual faces now. And better values. And...stuff. Color comps to follow, I'll prolly just edit this post and add them in.

Ignore the white blob at the top. It's so I know where the light is coming from.

Kissyfaces

For figure drawing we've got to draw two people in the class as famous people. Well, I wanted to do pinup. So I decided to do both. Here's some thumbnails and a value comp of Lady Gaga resisting Katy Perry's tipsy advances.

Sort of inspired by the video sets on I Kissed a Girl and Bad Romance. Except Bad Romance's set is too bright so I made it dark so Gaga would stand out.  Videos because I like embedding videos.

Grey Film Stills

I'll be coloring these, too. Later.

Blue Coral Snake

Here's the greyscale and color versions.

Blue Coral Snake

Eh, so I made it a worm. It was fun. I like experimenting. I've never done coral before, and this first attempt is kinda lame. I found a brush I really liked and went crazy with it...Second attempt will be better, I promise. Stay tuned for the final "portfolio piece."

Seriously, after seeing http://twistedoff.blogspot.com/ I knew I had to step it up a notch. So hopefully my later stuff will reflect that. Not so much these guys...though they sure have pretty colors. OwO

Final Edit

Final edit for the creepy crane thing.

BIO Sketchies

We have to do a combo-animal using the name of an actual animal...like a horsefly that's literally part horse-part fly. But I wanted to have fun and do silly things so here are some sketches.

I was going to put a snail kite in there too but I ran out of interest. :P Back to actual homework!

Tiger Attack

BIO200 assignment of an animal in three stages of an action. I picked the tiger from that famous tiger attack video and tried for a watercolor style.

Finished Tigers

Terrible preliminary sketches! Yay!

Also the famous video itself:

Spidercrane

CG201 assignment: Monster in an Environment.

 

First draft: "Spidercrane"

 

Second draft: "Crested Wallcrane"

Let's Begin!

Blogging isn't really a new thing for me, but seeing as this is a new blog I've decided not to upload old artwork to it. There's a link to my portfolio if you want to see older work or only finished work.
