Girl with a Gun

Finally spent some time this week and developed the sketch I uploaded months ago here. x. Since I am really passionate about going into the world of comics, I decided I would get the cliche, stereotypical image out of the way first: a hot girl with a gun. So I offer this up as my first attempt at digitally inking a background. It's not terrible, but it definitely needs work. I'm calling it a success for my first attempt, but I think I'm going to stick to ink and paper for the moment.

In other news, I am working on a final commission (unexpected) of another animal portrait I will be throwing up on here in a week (once I finish painting it). Afterwards, expect a lull as I will be moving internationally, visiting London for 2 weeks, and then trying to settle down into the chaos that is the Christmas season/ building up my life back in the States. :)

Archer Illustration

Here's the finished archer piece. I painted this in Corel Painter 11 and had a blast figuring out textures and lighting. I love giving myself a little challenge. I included process pictures below it. Towards the end, I changed the archer's face completely. I felt he needed to be younger and have darker hair.

Illustration WIP

I've been chatting with my friends about my portfolio and through them I came to the realization that I have very little pieces that show environments and "concept art" style work in my portfolio. I decided I'd fix that and start working with more detailed work. This week, it's my goal to work on these two pieces. Here are the sketches.

New Carter's Portfolio

Yes, it's that time again! I did another assessment test for Carter's (who I would LOVE to work for). These were all vectored in Adobe Illustrator (with the exception of the last floral, which I hand drew and colored in Photoshop). The idea here was to create a bunch of characters, clothing prints, and florals to be used in children's clothing. This is what I've been up to for the past 2 weeks. Hope you enjoy it.

This is some of my process work. Definitely not all of it. I think I filled about 20 pages in my small sketch book and these are about 15 of the pages compiled into one image.

Thesis Backgrounds Revised

Alright. I am having to re-paint my backgrounds. My computer fried a couple days ago and I lost 90% of projects I have been working on for the past 5 months. All of the colored backgrounds were lost. So here is the beginning of a new chapter.

Finished Environments GO!

Finished environments for thesis! woot!

More environments

in progress...

Thesis Environments

The start of my first environment. I have all of my color studies and loose sketches laid out for each piece so far. It is just a matter of drawing the tight sketches, inking and coloring them all now. This is the first half.
