Wow. I’ve been away for almost half a year. Sorry guys. Just posting with a contentless entry to just say I’m still alive. I’ll be posting some artwork again soon.

I’m currently in the process of cleaning, packing and moving out of this apartment. After digging through countless amounts of junk and blowing dust off old belongings I realized how much I’ve buried and forgotten about. It made me feel incredibly sad for neglecting alot of the small yet important things. I’m finding it a little hard to move out of this place even though it isn’t my real home. Strange to say but I’ll miss it alot.

I’ll be returning back to NY for the summer. I’m looking forward to it, but at the same time kind of dreading it only because it’ll be a short time before I have to move around again and adjust to a new place.

Yep thats just a fraction of my thoughts in a nutshell at the moment. Sorry if you read this expecting something interesting.

Will be back again.

Meh I don’t really like the way it came out but whatever.

This is just the overall pencil sketch. It’s not quite finished yet.

Well, I was supposed to do small value thumbnails but I ended up doing these full-page. The assignment was to choose an existing storybook and illustrate the cover for it. I chose “Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Wise Brown. I incorporated my little character and style from my calendar series in these two. 
I also did a three more thumbs for a different story (Thumbelina by Hans Christian Anderson) but they’re not as nice as these.

Btw I’m at my school’s maclab. The reason for this is because HP sucks and HP killed my laptop for the second time. 

The last dude was done realllyy quick and really badly lol
It was my first time ever coloring in anything with Corel Painter. It was a fun assignment though. I learned a few things.

Please click for Full-View.

Yeah, its my first time ever doing anything futuristic so the design is kinda crappy/improv. I didn’t have any reference for robotic/technical parts so I just made everything up as I went along. I guess the antagonist dude ended up looking like a mix of Ironman and Master chief because of that. Also I can’t draw guns. I can’t.

The second one is kinda boring… I kinda cheated a little on the main character guy by adding cloth on his armor so I didn’t have to draw it. I really liked how the evil crazy lady turned out but when I scanned it, her eyes messed up so it looks like she’s looking at the viewer but she’s supposed to be looking toward the side etc etc. And the old man looks like his sitting on an airchair so, yeah.

Overall this was a really fun assignment. I enjoyed sketching these out.

Also did a little goldfish oekaki a couple days ago for fun.

Yup thats all.

I didn’t get to finish either of these. They’re really weak at the mo. Gotta fab ‘em up.

Made more adjustments to this thing… Still not 100% done.
Its still pretty tame and sterile, nothing wild or cool going on. I’m really playing it safe in these assignments. I wish I could break out of my limit and actually attempt something dynamic.
I’ve also completed a b/w light & shadow version but its really sloppy so I wont post it until I clean it up some more.

Currently working on my 2-point at the mo, so I’ll be posting that soon.

Mila Jovovich portrait. Done completely in gouache paint. Original is 11″x6″.

Thing took forever. Seriously.

I also have a second version with the original Olympic ring colors here.
Overall I think I’m pretty okay with how this came out. My prior sketch before I finished this one was pretty hideous and incorrect. Yup yup.

Gonna try to finish up my perspective piece from the last entry tonight and do light+shadow
