Various Projects

So here are some more random projects. The first was meant to be a realistic watercolor of a Meerkat while the second is a character that I designed. I always felt the little guys would make great royal guards... As for the final piece... that is an ink and watercolor master-copy of a Mucha piece. In my mind, Mucha is one of the most amazing artists of all time and it was a fun challenge to even attempt to recreate his work .. Anyway more to come soon...

Editorial Portrait

So here is a watercolor of my cousin Jaemi. I am so excited that I got to make this piece for him. I really wanted to incorporate his interests such as music and nature along with some of his heritage (he's originally from India). Thanks for looking!

Joe: The Voodoo Lord

And here is another piece for tonight. This is an assignment from Clothed Figure 2 where we were supposed to create a character from reference. I still have some changes to make, but this is what it will look like... for the most part. A big thanks to my buddy Joe for really acting out this character! Thanks for looking.

Watercolors

So here are my first watercolor projects in my Illustration 2 class. I have had a blast working in this new medium. The first images represent a bag design that I created which was inspired by the California Academy of Sciences and the second set of images is an interior narrative about... well.. a plant. Thanks for looking!

Heads and Hands 2: Expressions

Hi everybody! I'm back tonight with this post of some small drawings from my second Heads and Hands class. The assignment was to draw 6 distinct expressions and explore a sense of character. So here they are! It should be an exciting semester and it's great to be back.

X-Men #500

So here are some pages from an X-Men Script by Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction. The story is Uncanny X-Men # 500. I really wanted to work on this script in particular because it takes place around the Metreon and Mission St areas in San Francisco. X-Men and all related properties are © Marvel Comics 2009.

And here are some paintings from this semester. The top one is my final painting of the class, composed of two images, one of a model, and the other of a caribbean background. The second is a painting of my girlfriend, Arika. And the last two are studies. More to come.....
