Fire Beast Concept Thumbnails

Hey guys I'm working on a painting of a giant fire beast, so I whipped up some thumbnails. Critique much appreciated.

CRAB BOSS Version 2.0!

I reworked my favorite final for character design a little for the upcoming society of illustrators competition.

Character Design Finals!

So yea, this is what I did for for the rest of my character design class. The piece at the top was our second to last assignment, we had to draw an environment, so I drew the scene from Aladdin where the stolen Djinn creates a palace for the sorcerer. The second two pieces were my final project. We had to create new characters for our imaginary Arabian Nights movie and present them in any way we chose, so I decided to illustrate to scenes from the Sinbad portion of our movie. I created a Sea Queen who lusts for Sinbad and seduces him while in human form (which explains his success as a pirate). The Sea KING, however, is rightfully displeased upon discovering this and attemps to take his revenge on the pirate.

Sorcerer!

This is my redesign of the Sorcerer from Aladdin for character design.

Thief!

This is my first finished character design for advanced character design class. He's one of the 40 thieves from Alibaba and the 40 thieves. Our class was split up into groups depending on weather we wanted out concept art to be more about animation, video games, or live action film. My group is live action so we are doing character designs for an imaginary film adaptation of 1001 arabian nights.

*Update: I changed the head and the knife from before.

The Journey

These are environments for my studio Remix: The Snow Queen class. The class is taught by illustrator Marcos Chin and director David Drake, and we are going to create our own interpretation of the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale. The first half of the semester we are doing concept art for the production and the second half we are creating the actual production. For our first assignment I had to illustrate Baltimore city in the snow and an ice rink. I think I learned alot about the way I think about composition from these, and it was a fun and rewarding exercise to create spaces from my head.
