MONSTERS UPDATE!

 

DAY 8: OCTOMAID

I wanted a little more variation and playfulness in the octomaid bc it was more obvious to do an ursula approach.

 

DAY 9: DEMON

This I think is my favorite so far in a more design sense :)

 

DAY 10: SUCCUBUS

I went for a more innocent approach, I figured it was better than the more gaudy attempt or raunchy design that involved intercourse.

ART! I realized I never posted these!

I donated these pieces to a friend of mine for a fundraiser to help promote art and the creativity! My close friend Callie Carlin hosted this event.

The Puget Sound Campus Center of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) would like to invite you join us for our annual Community Give Back event. This year, we take the principle of “community” and put it into practice.http://www.facebook.com/events/338476416191140/

PLANT LADAY

 DAY 7: PLANT GIRL

This is a seperate post I am doing bc plant girl in particular has been something I tend to draw often, here is a little back history. I kind of figured I take you through a little tour of what I have record of.

2001 I was highly infatuated with Gustav Klimt from the day I first saw a 

painting by him, I was also very influenced by him. I made a painting of two women one emerging from the ground and one decaying into the ground, I never documented this but once I find it,  I shall!!

 

2006: A sketch I did of a tree made of women, also influenced by Gustav Klimt, but I started using my own textures.

2007: A comic exercise where we took an existing comic cover and created an image that was completely unrelated. I believe I started honing in on my own style around this time. Becoming more infatuated with textures! So this is around the beginning of my metamorphosis.

2008: A concept from an art exhibit I was creating. Women trees with long necks!

 

2009: A coworker and I at Utrecht would sketch during down time. Paul Merkercher would draw character concepts and I would soop them up with my texturing skills!! As you can see I  started getting better with variation in my textures :).

  On the left: Paul's line work in red. On the right: What I came up with from basic sketch.

2012: FINALLY she emerges again! PLANT GIRL !! We are now up to date. I basically spent 2010 and 2011 making movies and doing 3D so it's nice to have time to feed my creativity :)!

Self portrait

 As an artist you will always have to do a self portrait as years go by. I have done quite a few...this last one was for a drawing group. I believe I have a patronus and my patronus happens to be a narwhal! my last self portrait I made with a narwhal was pretty humorous.

I usually draw myself in such a fashion but this time I wanted to take myself more seriously.

Which didn't end up not so serious in the end.

ATTEMPT 1: 

 

 So I was left feeling I didn't particularly portray me the way I feel expresses me accurately

enough. Therefore it was back to the drawing board and attempt 2 was created.

ATTEMPT 2: 

What can I say, that's more like it.

DAY4: REDO BOOK COVER

I know I was suppose to finish DAY3 and I am behind but I am going to catch up this weekend! WOOT!! Day 4 was redo a book cover. I decided to do Where the Wild Things Are and I know this is a little bit blasphemous to some but this book has influenced me a great amount through out my life, I was saddened to hear of his passing. He brought happiness and inspiration to many.

DAY4: VERSION 1

This is a tribute to Maurice Sendak.

RIP: June 10, 1928-May 8, 2012

DAY4: VERSION 2

DAY 2: IMAGINARY FRIEND

DAY 2: IMAGINARY FRIEND

I tried a different application style with photoshop this time. I had so many ideas for this one, it seems to be my biggest weakness with art....I just get too many ideas :)!

Starting another 30 day challenge

Kicked off this 30 day challenge with me BURTDAE! Was a bit tired but forced myself to start make some pretties!
