Creature Creation

Posts for my school blog too! Thought more of fairy tales for this assignment, so I looked at work like John Bauer, Helen Stratton, ... old timey- illustrated books. I remember how immersed I'd get in those amazing printed ink illustrations; this was a lot of fun even if I didn't capture that.

The life drawings I did and used as reference/inspiration


Transformation - The sequential part. I did this pretty rushed... plenty of better ways to go about it, and more clearly!

Royal Winter Fair 2013

Doesn't seem like I've posted my second year's rwf/zoo trip drawings, or any life drawings since first year, for that matter... didn't feel worth it.

I used mostly ink and marker this time for more confidence in strokes, rather than col-erase or pencil. I also tried brush pen at some points. We were to try and caricature the animals for our assignment, but mine don't carry through that well. Gotta practice!

Heroes and Villains!

Lining and celshade actually took double the time instead of painting. Regardless, this was a fun assignment.
This first character is my lady knight Djenn. Her armour is mostly based off of Gothic plate, and I modified its practicality slightly for this picture. There's so many more elements I wanted to fix/add but I'll settle with painting a new version... it was also my first time seeing my work as a single (questionable quality) print, other than in artbooks! Exciting.

The life drawing poses they were based off of. I mixed some and took a lot of liberties with others.
