Fishboy

This is a painting I did for Bobby Chiu and Kei Acedera's Art Contest. For it I painted a kid dressed up as a fish with a bunch of different aquatic animals around him. The idea was that he dressed up as a fish so that he would be able to talk to all of them. :D

This piece is based off of Bobby Chiu's "Whaleboy" and Kei Acedera's "How I wonder" and "The Jellies - sketch"

It was a fun project, I had fun messing with the color influences and different brushes.

Cheers

Kuta Card Contest

This was for the Sean Galloway's (aka Cheeks) Kuta Card Contest. For it I had to draw his character, Kuta. If you are not familiar with Sean Galloway's work you should defiantly check it out!

I'll be posting some of the other projects I have been working on soon!

Cheers

New painting!

Hey guys, here is a painting of a girl that I finished earlier this past semester! I tried out a different approach and I like how it turned out! I started out with an abstract brush and then went and finished it with a basic round brush in photoshop. :D



Also if you are going to be going to the Motor City Comic Con, May 15-17, make sure to stop by Draw Sucka Draw's table. They will be there all weekend selling our new book of sketches and such. Jongmee and I will be at their table selling prints all day Saturday! There will also be other artists from Draw Sucka Draw that will be there throughout the weekend, so make sure to stop by! You will also eventually be able to purchase the Draw Sucka Draw book online. I will link it when it is available. :D

Sketches

Here are some sketches that I did for my Image Making 1 class. For the project we had to get into a group and make up a video game. Each person had to create 2 non playable characters and something else such as an environment or one of the main characters. We decided to base the video game on the story of Ragnarok from Norse mythology. The first sketch below is of Thor, the main character. I tried to stray away from the normal look of Thor from the comic books and such. The second sketch is of some zombies, non-playable characters.



Also here are some sketches from my sketchbook.




:D

Paintings From Life

Here are some acrylic paintings that I did from a model.




They took somewhere between 5 to 6 hours to paint. I like how they turned out! This semester was the first time I have ever used acrylic paints and it has been a big change from oil paints. I am starting to get used to them and am starting to like them even though I do miss oils ha ha.

I am going to be posting some of my sketches and Vis Com drawings soon!

Samurai on a Dinosaur

Hey guys it has been a little while since my last post and I have been meaning to post for some time now. I have been really busy (as you most likely got from my last post lol) and have been painting and drawing like crazy. I have been working on a digital painting of a Samurai on a Dinosaur for the last little bit. I'm still working on it but here is the line drawing.

I'm liking where it is going and will post the digital painting of it when it is done. :D

Besides that I have just been finishing up some projects for my classes. There are only 5 weeks left until the semester is over! It has gone by sooo fast. It's crazy. Even though this semester is coming to an end soon I am going to be starting a new class this Friday. I am starting my 5 week printmaking class! I can't wait! I have wanted to try printmaking out ever since I became a fan of Yoshitaka Amano. If you don't know who this artist is you should defiantly check him out. He has done prints for video games such as the Final Fantasy series and animated movies and TV shows such as Gatchaman. His artwork is really amazing.

Anyways I will be posting again soon! I have piles of sketchbooks that I am scanning in.

Cheers!

Busy Busy Busy!

Well this semester has been keeping me really busy so far. I have been taking classes that require me to do a lot of work and it already seems like it is the final week, even tho it isn't even half way through the semester yet. Not only that but I have been working on getting my portfolio and website ready to start applying for summer jobs, internships and freelance. You guys can check out my website here. I am still working on it and still have some more to add to it including more of my sketchbook. Anyways while I was looking for pieces to post on my website if found this piece below. I thought it was funny and wanted to post it. It is a cat wizard. Anyways back to painting. Cheers!
