Illustrator Portrait

Did a self-portrait in illustrator for computer illustration class.

Ashley Wood Studies

Did some quick paintings based on Ashley Wood's World War Robot book. And then did a speedpaint of a forest.

DPSC

Last Friday at Digital Painting Sketch Club Noah Bradley did a demo over skype and chose the topic of a sci-fi lava planet for the one hour speedpaint challenge. Above is my entry which he chose as the winner and for the prize he painted over it. It was an awesome experience and a big thanks goes to Noah and the DPSC crew.

Unfortunately he didn't save the paint over, but I tried repainting it the next day with his suggestions.

The two paintings above are some things I did over break and the end of last semester.

Music Poster

Another illustration assignment; I had to create a poster for a band that conveyed their style of music. I chose to do the rock band Torche who couple sludgy guitar riffs with soaring vocal harmonies.

Bonus Image: This is a study I did mimicking a demonstration by Shaddy Safadi who has a pretty entertaining and interesting tutorial on youtube.

Mad Max Screencap Study

I recreated this shot from the movie Mad Max in pen and ink and watercolor for an illustration assignment.

City of Thieves Book Cover

For my illustration class we could create a book cover for any book of our choosing. I did City of Thieves by David Benioff which is about two kids who get arrested during the Siege of Leningrad and are made a deal: they can win their freedom if they find a dozen eggs in the starving and frozen city. An awesome adventure ensues. I decided to depict the two boys in the snowy fields outside the city walking past a dead body.

Speed Paints

Did some quick digital paintings (I spent about an hour on each) over the weekend. This first one is from imagination and is a locomotive heading through a jungle.

These next to are color studies from photos from the book "Classic Russia Idylls" by Proctor Jones that I checked out from the library which features some beautiful landscape photographs.
