Boss Character Drawing!

Meet my Level Boss Character, Tzarr!

Winter.... and Break!

Things I wanna do (right now): Do more sketches. Start drawing up designs for a small game I came up with. Read more of the Game Design book. Draw megaman, for a megaman book art request. Animate in CS3's photoshop. Play more Assassins Creed (somehow).

...And, as I segway into another topic:

A short animation I did for a concept on friend's game.

And this book so far has been giving me understanding about what it is that I enjoy so much about games, "A Theory of Fun for Game Design"

...Annnnd, a sketch/painting I did recently:

3D updates will come next month, because I poorly transferred any screenshots I had of my work with me.

I most likely will add my game board documentations to my Game Portfolio Blog!

Final Version

 Still gonna fix up some things tho.

Old drawing I found, for a scratch board preliminary.

Finished concept!

Shinjuku, Japan

My finished concept art for my theme pitch in 3D class. My theme came in third place, so I feel decidedly proud of myself for making it that far. What I've learned from the experience is calm down when doing a presentation and don't talk so fast. My other learning experience is...Even when I work on my hw casually, I still had to pull an all nighter!

We are going to be doing "Submerged Atlantean and Steampunk ruins" for our semester long level making. So you can expect alot of gears and columns to be made. And since it's Atlantean/Ruined Greece, there will be alot of crumbled stones and rocks. Our teaching is still debating how much of that we will be making. But yey for that theme winning, I choose it as one of my top 3.

Now onto working on my first assignment in UDK, making a level! Whoo!

concept 1

quick looking, but not so quick painting of my concept. beginning of something.

Self-Promo postcard art

small update

Self-Promotion Postcard wip

FInished!

I'm tired, so I'll right more about this later!

updated Portfolio Page with this illustration.

Discovery of a Fallen Giant

I'm done! So this was for the Imagine FX art challenge, "Illustration for an RPG game". This illustration is of a made up RPG, so don't go trying to guess what game it's from.

Next up.....! Fairytale Illustration for a Movie poster with a celebrity as the main characters. yummmm.

I guess I'll speak a bit more about what has been going on:

I had my low for the month, but things are looking forward! I learned alot while being unsure of alot of things. I figured out my process a little more.

Need to do 12 paintings for class still. My finalized theme for the paintings, is a flowing and continuous naked figures that is disappearing into perspective. yey!

Learning alot about painting in my figure painting class, fortunately! In my painting class, it's more like painting practice time. Learn thru experience.

Almost Spring break, and I have lots of plans of enjoyment with friends and my cutie dearest!

Til next time, every...bodyyyyyy!

few more adjustments...

...but almost done!


I wanna give a shout out to Andrew! Who help me and kept me going on this. Best art director and friend I'll ever have. :)

This was a frustrating piece, but thru all the struggle and attempts at doing this illustration, I believe I've come out of this alot more knowledgeable and stronger. Lets hope my next illustration will come out alot more smoother than the last. hehe.

FInished poster and... a wip

A challenge piece for CG Hub that I didn't finish on time.

Men in the Moon Challenge @ CGhub WIP

hmmm

felt like painting loosely..

Digital painting practice again

hooray for new year! Can't wait to get back to Florida! And I can't wait for my wisdom teeth area to heal!

Trying to do scratchboard.....GAH!

This isn't scratchboard, but I'm trying to get used to the idea of scratching out to get white. And thinking what could possibly look good in that technique.

Let's see what happens, but heres the Digital Drawing version of it:

Close to finish!!

Need to work on the girl more. It's getting there!

Wip 2 of the Hellboy Assignment

This is due Wednesday! AhhhhH!!

Oh and I just found out that the Portfolio Review for Megacon is next Tuesday. Oy, I don't know if I have enough to show the judging panel.

To make this clear, my illustration class just got the word last week that the Megacon Trip was back on. This trip is a highlight for Illustration students to show what they have and possibly get money from it! Limited number of students are chosen to represent Ringling. Mostly upperclassmen, but they do try to take atleast 1 or so sophomore(s).

Daft Punk inspired art!

I just can't get enough of their stuff sometimes. Especially with the new Tron movie looming.
Oh yea, and I seriously just did this instead of hw. *gasp!*

Color roughs for Media on 50% size drawings - after rendering drawing completely, and then progress on hellboy illustration.... Need to redraw pose! Look for reference! Serious business.
