The Wright Way

More or less an attempt at replicating the style of the Phoenix Wright series branding with a new title and everything. Drew the art out using the original as a reference, matched the font to the original as best I could, and illustrated the ball-thing that hugs the words of the left side. Mostly a learning opportunity!

(For reference)

Burrito

I'm hungry :(

Skulltime

This series was for my friends who wanted to start a Youtube channel. Each chucklehead needed an icon that reflected their personalities that matched their voice tone. The colors I thought would help them be more distinguishable, though the yellow skull is by far my favorite for how friendly they look (which again matches the person who the skull represents, haha!)

Tyger Tyger Burning Bright

This was something I was trying a few months ago that I found while digging around in my computer! I wanted to go for something very flat but stylized with bright visual color to pop, which I felt the golden orange and aqua blue would do well enough. I'm hoping I can print this as a poster someday because I feel particularly proud of it!

New icon!

Ironically, there's no snow in Southern California. If you're there, look at the mountains! They're as bare as a baby butt!

Halloween Themed Icon

Practicing out some color and cartoon-y styled art, part self portrait (I always wear these glasses!) and part for fun! 100% enjoyable learning experience in all!

Made this for my sister, who's going to UCR! HIGHLAAAANDERS YOOOOOO

Life Drawing Study Session: Night Edition

Just some quick studies :v

Dog Lineart WIP

Working on a new project which needed a lot of study for a dog. This project coincided with the death of my own dog, making it a bit difficult to power through. Still, I like how it's turning out so far.

A quick fun thing I did during the summer! I love dogs so much!

The New Hire Animatic

My Sequential Arts Project for 2015, basically a board for a 6 minute short. I'm learning more and more things every board I do, and hopefully after a rigorous summer of studies and sketches I can improve upon what I've been building up as far as skill-sets are concerned!

Heads and Hands Homework

Illustration A: WDP #7: In-class drawings

In-class for Illustration we were tasked with drawing  and practicing in applications to put towards our project and development as artists. The following are the first ones done, a variety of different orientations and sketches of ideas for Project 2.

Getting the right angle in these drawings to really show the feeling of the three pigs and the wolf were all very difficult, and in the end I went back to an earlier composition made in thumbnails.

The following was a simple expression exercise to further explore the facial expressions that the characters depicted would make in the final results, running through different facial expressions using simplified faces.

I remember doing these in Life Drawing for Animation and they're still fun to do; though I already had ideas for the facial expressions for each of my characters.

Finally, some in-class sketches I did later in the semester were for Project 4, following critiques about my ideas for the illustration.

This is pretty helpful with roughing out ideas or finding them, especially for the last page.

Illustration A: WDP #6: Value and Color Studies Project 2

For Project 2 I had three color and value studies I needed to do. I'm not too familiar with color, the concentration of my animation courses rarely touches on it, but I was very comfortable with the value experiments!

From top to bottom: Light characters and dark background, dark characters and light background, and high contrast rendering.

I felt like I preferred the middle and even used it for the final basis of my project, but I was a bit fond of the high contrast if only due to the fact that it made the pigs look all the more menacing.

With the colors I really struggle with it, I don't use color at all typically. I do really like how the wolf came out in the top image, the analogous colors test using shades of reds and blues/purples. I feel I need to revisit this option for a redo of the project, as it has something to it with the warm interior and cold exterior of the brick house.

Illustration A: WDP #5: Sculpey References

For my narrative illustration I was tasked with making clay representations of my characters shown in the piece. The story was about inverting the roles of antagonist and protagonist, making the three pigs cruel and the wolf in need.

I love playing with clay, and specifically wi
th this sculpture of the wolf head I was able to determine how the ears were supposed to lay on the angle I wanted to draw from! Super useful!

Pictured: Some drawings I did using these references:

Sculpture: Pabu!

He's done! How cute is a fire ferret really?

Sculpture WIP: Pabu!

Working hard on my second sculpture project, Pabu from Legend of Korra!

Here's the reference images I pulled online to sculpt him, hope he turns out as cute as he looks in the 2D plane!
