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.

Sketches!

Another sketch from Japan. I think I may start refining some of my sketches in the future into nice watercolor pieces. It may or may not happen. :P

Altered Landscape

To me, the idea of gas station perfectly represents how we manipulate and abuse the land around us. To me, it is the quintessential landmark of global warming and the idea of human greed. I painted this primarily in ink washes and added a little line-work in at the end.

This is the last assignment for my landscape painting class.

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.

Sarasota Landscape

This is a landscape I drew in two sittings (today and last Wed due to the weather). Took about 4 hours total. Ink and watercolor ~ 5" x 11"

Landscape Drawing

This is the first assignment for my landscape/ drawing class. We were required to do it in black and white. The finished drawing was 17"x 29".
