Concepts stuff

These are 2 of my 3 assignments from concepts II thus far (the last post I did being the third).

The first image was our first assignment was an editorial illustration. The topic being the repeal of don't ask don't tell. It's an ink wash drawing and i tweaked the levels in photoshop.

The lower image is a book cover for the metamorphosis. It's charcoal and acrylic. I didn't attempt anything with fonts or lettering because I don't feel quite comfortable with that aspect of design at the moment and it wasn't required.

Words on Wheels

This was for Words on Wheels, a partnership MICA has with the Baltimore grade schools. The students write poems and then some are given to the students in some of the Concepts II classes to illustrate.

Exterminate!!!!

Charcoal demo I gave for Danamarie's illustration II class. Dalek's are cool.

The Day Marta left

This was a 2 week assignment for Advanced Sequential Art class. The first week was for writing and thumb nailing. The second for drawing. The story had to be based off of one photo from Alissandra Sanguinetti's photo series "the life that came". I chose "Three O'clock Soap Opera". I'm generally happy with what I did ( minus a panel or two, and my atrocious lettering). The assignment was basically for Alain Corbel to get an idea of how we worked because for the rest of the class we will be working on one story that we've written ourselves. I'm really excited for the upcoming project, hopefully I'll show all I've learned about dramatic writing, comic pacing, and action.

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.
