2013!

Hi folks! 2012 has been a great year but 2013 is gonna be even better-- I've resolved to update my blog every Friday for this year, but, uh, it won't be this one. I'm moving entirely over to the Tumblr, like the rest of the blogging world: here. 

Happy new year! 

Sketch Dump

Submission for a MICA Pokemon Zine

Personal TF2 fanart

Korra's hot back

one of those "what you wore today" drawings

So I have been doing stuff guys, but it's all been dumb selfies/fanart. I have a few school and side projects in the works for now, uh. This stuff.

Limbo

Limbo was one of the best little artsy games I've played in a while, and it reminded me a little of Don't Look Back. I decided to use it as inspiration to practice painting some atmosphere. It's sloppy but it was a fun exercise! Made some new brushes for the occasion.

The Up-side of Being an Introvert

We were assigned to create three images for a TIME article called "The Up-side of being an Introvert". Here's the full page spread and two tiny images meant to visually explain introversion and extroversion. The top piece is acrylic with some PS color adjustment and the bottom two are digital.

Living Alone

I don't get out a lot. It's pretty alright.

Fantasy(ish) Landscape

Just some farmland... FOR GIANTS (!?!?!)

Poisonous Zombie Monolith

I'm in a concept art class this semester. It's gonna be rad.

Ketchup

Hi folks!

It's been a bit. Finals didn't turn out as well as I expected so I'm going to instead update with some personal stuff from over the break.

Moleskin

I have a lot of work done, but no time to upload it! There'll be a flurry of updates in a week and a half.

Paper Dolls: Week Bluhgrahhffhluh

Robots With Scarves and Pinstripe Vests

That slick looking robot is based off the design of a classmate and white suit is mine.

CD Case Project

I like the bits better than the whole, and maybe sometime I'll post a few detail shots, but for now I'm real tired of looking at this.

Paper Dolls: McQueen Week

Have a happy Halloween everyone! Alexander McQueen for this week because duh.

Intimate

Here are some dirty sketches for an upcoming collage project for my concepts class. The end product will be a lot less figurative than this implies but I rather liked how these guys turned out.

50/50

A movie review for the movie 50/50 with Joseph Gordon Levitt. He has a very distinct face but I had a hard time getting his profile right! The background is made up of cells that slowly become cancerous from left to right. D: It was quite a good dramedy.

Detail:

Humanitas

For Lifestyles we were given a "Vices and Virtues" assignment. Here is Humanitas (Kindness), and you can see Invidia (Envy) in the background. Unfortunately Envy's photoshop file was corrupted and my heart wept for days but Humanitas made it through!

Somewhere during crit for the sketches someone suggested "Sailor Moon meets Olive Garden meets Fairy Princesses", and so it was. It was a lot of fun doing ostentatious dresses and ridiculous hair, but I'm going to start playing around with different methods of applying colors. The color and composition of this thing isn't really doing it for me.

Details:

brain drain

The first half of the semester left me pretty mentally and emotionally drained so two days off for Fall Break were a welcome reprieve. After catching up with friends and feeling 80% more lucid I decided to slap color on some non-work-related doodles from my sketchbook.

Gotta love ladies floating in space.

Self Portrait

I may draw a more flattering one soon but for this semester this is as accurate as it gets.

My hair really is that dark, vast and endless.

Odds and ends

I made a blog header. I get super indecisive with color schemes so here are some other ones that I may rotate though when I get bored.

A little gore from my sketchbook too:

While working on both of these things I've been listening to Radiolab's episode Loops; it ain't no coincidence.
