Hawt Wheelz

Last week I was surprisingly contacted by a guy who's creating a new brand for car racing gear and apparel. He wanted me to illustrate a few characters wearing what would be the stuff. I think that at some point in his meetings with partners they decided to go with another artist (all I know is they had more than 3 to start with), but it's still a pretty cool setup to try and paint some pinup girls or just practice some "photoshopainting".

This is a WIP of something that I hope to finish soon. I'm liking her. I'm enjoying experimenting new techniques.

Eric Cartman or Stewie Griffin? I'm really not sure who's funnier.

Have a good break pplz!

Female Eriah

So... A little bit sad, lil bit disappointed, but life goes on. School ends and the real deal is somewhere out there, I'm just trying to find it =]. For now, I'm trying to keep myself busy working for an old archived game project of a brazillian friend of mine. Maybe if I show him some cool characters and environments, he might get motivated to finish it off and all ... All and all it's good practice, and I'm trying blend a couple of different photoshop techniques with what I usually do, it's been fun so far.



this is how the progress is going. I still wanna work much more on the background and I feel like the main character needs to have some of her details read better

Springshow prayers =]

This year I'm submitting 5 pieces to the show. Hopefully they won't all fail, but who knows. Even if nothing gets in, I still enjoyed working on and some of the results. Below is one of the submissions, which is a 20x30 print of some characters for the steampunk aladdin project.

Steampunk Aladdin

So I've gotten those two characters that I was developing for a Prince of Persia concept, and put them into a steampunk aladdin concept. It's going really fun so far,
I'm happy to be working on it right now.

No sleep last night but I am almost fully satisfied with the results, with a few changes to make in some of the characters. That's how the prints looked for review in class.

doodle

litte 20 min doodle while bored and tired of flash in illustration 3 class. Meh I kinda started adding saturated colors to make it fun but I'm not sure it wasn't enough... I'm just terrible with colors..

Final Poster

So this is the poster after painful hours of illustrator. I don't think it stands a chance on the actual competition since it's so crazy and senseless, but it's a fun looking crazy piece lol. Go aliens! [and monsters]

Ennui

This is a piece I'm working on for my Honor's portfolio class. It's about a sonnet by Sylvia Plath: Ennui. I had a fun time trying to come up with some sort of interpretation for that sonnet, it's something very unusual to me to try and illustrate something like that, but it's been fun so far. That's my color comp. I might do the finish in oils, the wacom tablet is starting to hurt my hand =P.



Added a new comp which I will probably be working from, if approved. This one gets back the idea (not shown here) that I had on the thumbnail stage, where the trees are all aligned and kind of suggest a prison cell. Kazu said he prefered it that way, and I think he has a good point.
