Emperor

Master copy of the famous Jacques-Louis David painting Napoleon Crossing the Alps. Completely hand painted in Ps. A friend was kind enough to let me borrow their face. The piece is for a Type and Image project where we had to lay out and design a magazine article. Mine was Ralph for Emperor by Ralph Wanger. The concept was that "Ralph" was super imposing himself upon a famous emperor, cutting his face out from a photo and roughly taping it over a print or what have you that he owned. So yes, the tape is intentional. :P

Waaaaaayyyy too many hours in Ps

cover

Thought I'd posted this. Huh. Well, here it is either way. The cover image for my game. It was hell to paint. x_x But I learned a lot.

Last two monsters

Last of my monsters for my survival horror game I'm making. Now on to faux screen shots and map refinement.

Monsters

Here's some preliminary attacks at monster concepts for my survival horror game Perdition.

fish heads

Small painting for a presentation tomorrow. It's a Payara, also (incorrectly called) the Vampire Tetra. Yes, their teeth really are that big. Go look them up! they're awesome.

Blue is Calming

Dr. Sketchys and SOCA

SOCA! We had a pair model for us. I tried a few new ideas for how to do these, and the first one of using watercolor and colored pencil flopped, so I went back to using pen. I was sick this SOCA, so these aren't too accurate, as I was like "buh, wish I could breathe and hear..." haha. I tried to focus more on value and modeling rather than anatomical perfection (obviously). I think next SOCA, depending on the model, I'll be focusing on parts of the form, and not trying to draw the whole thing. 

 And these last two are from the last session of Dr. Sketchy's. It was a voodoo theme, and the model Rio bought her adorable pet snakes with her to model with. They were so cute! The first one here was a challenge of trying to draw her as she was dancing, since our model is also a belly dancer.

Coal Mines

Second scene done for my game design class. PSD file looks better (as always). This time It's a coal mine. Tried to emphasize the very horizontal layout as well as how claustrophobic it is this time. Learned a lot on this one as well. Slowly getting better with these.
