August Cleaning

Wow! It's already August? Time flies. So I've been massively busy this past month and half with projects, housing, etc. Decided to take somewhat of a break today and clean my hard drive. You wouldn't believe some of the unfinished/very old work I found. Take a look! Note: The abstract acrylic paintings are back from high school years. May play around with abstract pieces again.. those were pretty fun. Any case, I'll post more RECENT artwork soon!

Summer Vacation

Well, it's been about a month since summer vacation began. Unfortunately the majority of the art I've been working on is under a NDA (non-disclosure agreement) so I can't share much with you all. However, do know that I'm still active and alive. For proof, here's a little piece I did a while back that hopefully I'll be able to finish. I felt like designing a Korean troll, so this is the work in progress. You can see some of the other potential designs in my previous post. Look forward to the finished version!

Spring Show Submissions are Over!!

Sweetness! So here's just a handful of the many entries I put in for the Academy of Art University Spring Show 2013. Hopefully something will get in. Now to work on finals as well as these two requested realistic creature designs.

Time to Work!

Life continues to be extremely interesting. One thought on mind is the upcoming annual Academy of Art University Spring Show. Gonna try to enter a few pieces in. The Washington State poster was suggested by my instructor Gordon Silveria. Many thanks to him and classmates for critiques! Am glad to say I'm finally getting the hang of vector designs. Note: the dancing girls are just color roughs done in Photoshop - working on vectorizing now.

Cute Animation and Life

Life is difficult. It truly is. I could go on for hours on how it's tough, but that wouldn't entirely do anything except waste time and possibly cause me (or others) to get sad, angry, any negative attitude. So to stay positive, here's a little piece I did in class today. First time doing any proper animation, so please bear with me. Hopefully I can find the time to compile some of my concept sketches (both the semi-real creatures designs, and cartoon children's book designs).
In happier news, I was able to attend the final day of the Games Development Conference (GDC) here in San Francisco. Managed to get a fantastic portfolio review, so be on the lookout for more creepy creature works. I also managed to squeeze in some time to finally attend SketchBomb, a gathering of artists held once a month to meet in San Francisco and sketch. Apparently my first day attending was their 3rd year anniversary. Got to reconnect with good friends, and make new friends. Here's one of my pages from that night as well.

Perspective and more

Figured I should post these now since I don't know when I'll get the proper time to fully complete these. I decided to practice more on my environments, and play around with finding shapes within nature (such as clouds becoming creatures, etc.) These are the results to my experimentation. If you want to view the images bigger, open them in a new tab or window. Also, people seem to feel I am rather good at doing cute things, though I feel it's still a very foreign subject so I'm studying. Look forward to cute sketches in my next post!

More Perspective work

Theme is still Noah's Ark - did a twist and made it of large animal carcasses. Will try to work on these more later because they're nowhere near complete. Also, computer keeps distorting color when uploading so will need to figure out why. :/
