IF: Warning

I've decided that I am trying something new with the Illustration Friday theme, instead of strictly following the theme I am going to try to change things around. I will still use the theme but apply it to a story that I am working on each month. This way I am full filling my desire to do sequential art and still producing an illustration each week for illustration Friday. This month is the 'Peace Keepers' series. I will see if I can produce the comic along with the illustrations, I don't know we shall see.

IF: Swarm

This one made my roommate laugh her gutes out. When I saw the topic was swarm I for some strange reason thought of lemmings. My mind confuses me sometimes. But the thought of these little rodent mindlessly leaping off cliffs to their doom was my response to the topic. Enjoy, hopefully it made you laugh.

Surrender, Illustration Friday

Well, I finally figured out how to get the images on the internet here is Florida. So as for the subject of Illustration Friday: Surrender. This took me a while to decided what I should draw. I finally chose to go with something I thought up while I was riding the bus (takes a long time to get where I am going). I thought about when I was in my horseback riding class and how the horses being ten times our weight were willing to submit to our demands. I took that thought and so decided on a cowboy horse training his horse. Him being very pompous about it and the horse submitting or surrendering slightly unwillingly. It was a fun subject to create and can't wait till next week.

Illustration Friday: Chicken

So since I am going to work at Disney World and am not sure when I will get a job illustrating. I am going to start participating in Illustration Friday. Every week will be a new illustration.
This will be my first entry. It was something quick that I thought to do. It was great to explore my option here as well.

My Brother the Lizard

This was a Christmas gift for my brother, he asked for an animal that represented his personality. I then tried to think of the different attributes that he had in common with the creatures that I knew. I finally settled on an iguana. Mainly because of his laid back personality and his love of the sun and the beach. I am happy to say he loved it and I enjoyed making it for him.

Toadz, Storyboard

So this is the Storyboard I created for Toadz, this project was for my Narrative Illustration class. I had a fun time creating it, we had to use index cards and create 50 key frames for the story we chose. I used the portion of Toadz, where Armide goes to seek Apprenticeship from the witch of Hansel and Gretel, Granny Ginger.
This was also the first time I ever used prisma color markers to this extent and I thought it turned out quite well.

BFA Final

Here is my BFA project, at least the storyboard of my project. It took me at least 8 months to create and a lot of patience not to give up. The story is based off the Brother Grimm's tale. In the project I mixed two cultures together, of Asian and European. This project is directed at promoting myself as a story artist and an illustrator, therefore I am targeting the two fields of publishers and film. This project took forever to create and was a lot of work, my teacher even said that I had the most finished illustrations that has ever been seen in the BFA program. I think it was worth it and I really enjoyed myself.
