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.

Slay the Beast!

This is one of my personal projects from the summer. It was for a James and the Giant Peach contest on.......deviantart. The contest was to draw where you escape to when you daydream. Obviously, I am a Power Ranger when I daydream, so this was what I drew.

GOJIRA!

Testing out my sweet new scanner. This is one of the crayon doordecks I made for my awesome community at precollege. Emilio, Robert, Scott, and Tomas are pretty cool guys, they work really hard and doesnt afraid of anything. I miss em already.

Batwoman Birthday Blast!

This piece was a birthday present for my best friend. I put many hours into this piece.....and dealt with the Satanic scanning prices of Kinko's. My initial goal was to try and do an Adam Hughes type of piece, I dont know if I was successful or not in that, but overall though it was great learning experience, and I'm happy with the way it looks.

Illustration friday: Caged

Hey everyone, precollege was awesome and I really enjoyed being a TARC. I really think it has changed me as an artist for the better.

I did a little tweaking to the template. Hope you don't mind.

This little piece is my first foray into the illustration Friday thing, so I tried something a tad different. The assignment was to illustrate the word "caged", so I tried to create a piece that really showed the emotion behind once freed creatures who are locked up and put on display. My only regret is that my lack of a scanner kept me from doing this piece traditionally.

T-Rex and Angel

Hilariously enough, these are both observational drawings. The angel is a statue in the national portrait gallery, and the trex scene is from a small scale Jurassic period set in the museum of natural hitory (the colors were added to the original ink drawing later and from my head).They are both 2 page spreads in my 11x14 sketchbook.
