Illustrative Digital Imaging final

Right in the middle of finals week, and as usual the stubble is uncontrollable and my pants are covered in oil paint. However, if I manage to wake up tomorrow morning and hand in my last final, a three week roadtrip is waiting around the corner. - Good things comes to those who wait (or some other cheesy thing people say)

For my final digital painting assignment we had a group project. The brief we were assigned stated we had to work with a mix of an archaic and a futuristic society. Collectively we decided on a mix of 70% Roman culture and 30% Star Wars (that first movie). We were assigned either two characters or an environment, and seeing as I still had not done any characters for this class I was glad to get the choice of our cultures evil emperor and his evil general.

Working with thumbnail character studies was a true eye-opener, and a small example of the ones I did can be seen underneath.



I finally installed my wacom tablet driver, - yeah I have been working all semester without pressure sensitivity (!). And managed to work with looser, more solid brushstrokes on this one. This made the painting part a lot quicker, and even though these were a bit rushed I am very happy with the learning process here.

Emperor

General

Cavemen Redux

Figure in environment, pretty open ended.

Swiss Performance Enhancing Substance

Swiss guy beat the Norwegians in Tour De Ski today... obviously he was full of drugs :)



Still focusing mainly on colors these days. I am working on pushing compliments into the shadows, as well as juxtaposing colors in the image.

Vampire

Got a bit further on this quick sketch from the other day:
Set the mood ok, pretty happy with the way the light is hitting the vampires face. Still need to work on the softness of light, especially in a night scene like this. Got about halfway done with this one, but now my shoulder is aching and I need to get off the computer, so I am gonna leave it at this.

Photoshop and Photography for Illustrators - Final

Final Project.
Brief: Illustrate one of the Greek gods through photography and photoshop manipulation.

Had few models and little time, and ended up posing as the warrior god Aries on top of a pile of myself. Tank god this class is over, back to illustrating ;)

Intermediate Anatomy - Final

Final project for Intermediate Anatmoy. The project was open ended, as long as you proved an understanding of anatomy.

God Jul!
