More Environments

A couple of environments that made it into my portfolio. The second one could still use quite a bit of work but I thought it would show a bit of variety. The internship hunt goes on!

Sketches

I would like to be more loyal to posting on my blog. This is what I've been sketching in my spare time.

Mr. Hyde

I don't normally make smaller posts like this but I felt like updating my blog. I had an idea for the up coming Push Pull Assignment involving Dr. Jeckyll aka Mr. Hyde. This is me just playing around with a possible design...

Turtles

Just messing around with shapes...

Layout

I needed some more perspective examples for my portfolio for Concept Design Academy so I did a quick layout. This is inspired by an idea from concept last semester involving a botanist.

Four Days, Four Characters

I guess an update is in order. Second year at Ringling is over! I can't believe my peers and I are all going to be juniors come fall! Soon we will be working on our thesis's (thesi?) heh. Anyway, after spending a long time and a lot of worrying about what I'm going to do this summer it turns out I'll be going to Concept Design Academy for a ten week training program in character design, environment design, and another class in props and environments. I really do enjoy the pre-production side of animation so this will be a good chance for me to learn and improve my skills in design. I'm really excited for this opportunity!

In related news I have to put together a portfolio for two of my classes. The first step for me was to do four semi-realistic character designs. It was a good change of pace doing more realistic characters then I normally do. I do miss the opportunity to exaggerate proportions however. Here are my characters for portfolio.

Paintings

A few digital paintings I've done recently. The top one is from D.P.S.C. with a few additions to make it more presentable for possible portfolio. The bottom one is just a quick sketch from a while back.

The Parents!!

Little Miss Mom, and child
Master Sensei Dad and Little Cricket
Coach Bob and his son number 41
The DO-IT-ALLS


This is a project I started a while ago (cough) and just barely finished. The idea was inspired by the types of parents that get a bit too involved in their childrens' extra curricular activities. I thought of this while watching people at a karate meet for my brother.

More summer stuff

Another theme developed for the weekly topic. This one was supposed to be based off of an unfamiliar fairy tale. The image I choose came from a Hans Christian Anderson story entitled "Mother Elderberry"
And some more random sketchbook stuff.

Art Dump

Here is a dump of recent doodles, digital painting poop, and above is an illustration I did for a painting topic my girlfriend Ashley and I decided to do. The topic was Sacred Grove. This is what I came up with. Anyway, on to more drawing...

Cheetah's are still cool

Ever since I was in third or fourth grade I thought Cheetah's were cool, well I still think that! This came from me watching animal planet while at the Gym... doing this as part of my: Try to have something worth updating with a few times a week plan. Lets see how it goes.

A few paintings

A few paintings from my painting class plus something small I worked on for a contest over at chiustream.

Reflective Still life.

Still life homework

Redesign of the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland. Decided to design him based off of a Pipevine Swallow Tail Caterpillar.

Abstract still life from a coke box.

Sketches

Here is a couple of unfinished paintings and some sketches from this last semester. The paintings were done on my phone using the sketchbook app by autodesk.
