Wraith Concept

Here's a wraith concept I've been working on inspired by the Sand Wraith from the game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. I finally figured out how to make those animated gifs to show my WIP too. Hope you like it!

Finals and Figures

I completely forgot to post my final assignments for my classes along with a bunch of other stuff XD So here's what I've got!

First up is my Digital Photography & Photoshop final. The goal of the assignment was to take our own photo reference of a human figure and create a mythological illustration using a composite of images. In this illustration, a wizard is summoning rain to put out the fire in the burning city in the distance. I went ahead and put the separate images I used for this below the illustration so you could see what I put together. I ended up making a lot of color changes and painting in things myself (the coulds, lightning, rain, fire, steam, staff). I ended up painting on top of the figure as well (who happens to be my teacher XD)









Next is my Analysis of Form final which is simply just a portrait of John Wayne.


And just some figure drawings. The first one was my first attempt at using white charcoal. I enjoyed it a lot though and hope to do more drawings like this soon.

Gargoyles

Here's a piece I've been working on. I had more ideas I wanted to incorporate into this one but with finals coming up, it's time to move on.

Liminal Rez Art Exhibit by Andrew Jones

This past Saturday I was lucky enough to have the chance to see one of my favorite artists, Andrew Jones, at the opening of his exhibit. I've seen a lot of his work online but it was definitely great getting to see his art up close. He also closed the event with a Phadroid performance like the one here. Here are some pictures I took of the event.

Me with Andrew Jones!

Some of his art.






For anyone interested, a lot of his work can be seen here and a video of how he works here.

New Stuff

It's been a while since I've updated but here's most of the work I've done in the past few weeks. The first two are gargoyles for a photoshop painting I'll be working on.




Practice with multi-poses.


Drapery study.


Some figure drawings. The drawings after the first one are just blocked in shadow shapes.





A funky costumed figure drawing (she had a chainsaw!!!!)


Quick gesture poses.








Some photoshop composites I worked on for my photoshop class. Below the images I put the original photos I used (yes, that's me in the ninja outfit).








Portrait for figure modeling. It turns out sculpting the face is a lot harder for me than the entire figure.

Drawings

Just a character sketch and an update on the torso study from my last post. I'm probably gonna bring the character into photoshop.

Big Update!

A pretty big update today. I did the first illustration during the little free time I've had. The rest is work from classes.



Really wanted to finish this first figure drawing, but the workshop ended early.




Work from analysis of form.




Figure modeling.
