My final for my human anatomy class. yeah yeah the middle one with the muscles is slightly distorted. what can i say, i have a weird face (and lips look weird without skin surrounding them).
Also CONGRADULATIONS EWELINA FOR GRADUATING!! dont steal all the jobs or imma kill you once I graduate 8|

Soooo....

So i was all prepared to show you guys my cool paintings until i realized that they are, in fact. not cool. so here is a hybrid traditional/digital version of my final. I think of photoshop as the "makeup" of traditional art.

here's one of the three:



more later maybe!

WIP teaser shots! almost doneee...

Pastiches pastiches...

I have this really neat skill that allows me to take extraordinarily simple assignments and derail the concept completely by the time i finish. This particular picture is an excellent example of what can be accomplished when your mind erases said boundary...


Its very quickly done, so i will not say it is my best piece, i only worked on it for a night. i wish i had more time to work on it however, only because i love the idea so much. The assignment by the way, was to do a pastiche of j.j. grandville's work.

I'll upload the second one based off of Aubrey Beardsley's work later on when it is feeneeshed.

Illustration IV final

Been busy with school lately so it feels like forever since i've posted. Here are some preliminary sketches for my independant final. I'm doing some personal/gallery art/fine art based on the theme "flowers".

I was a wee bit proud of these until it was mentioned they are reminiscent of who else, James Jean. i thought the relations to his/my artwork was over, i guess i'm not out of the water yet. The kicker though is that i stopped looking at his work months ago in hopes that maybe i was just subconsciously picking out his style and creating a hybrid with his and my own inner creativity. What do you guys think? I'd sure like to try to change myself by graduation so i can actually get a job with an "original" style of art. I'd hate to be one of "those" artists who comes off as mimicking someone with an already successful method of drawing. sigh.

no art, just life

[BIG EDIT] editing this post because i feel it no longer needs to be shared with the world. i am not deleting it however because of the time my friends spent to comment; it seems cruel to delete the words that they wrote from the heart <3 with that said, ignore this post! =)

Lions and tigers and bears, oh lord.

WIP for next illustration assignment. i have to finish up on this quickly, since i also need to finish sketches and send them off to a woman for our NEXT project (which involves legit real world context aka: my illustration could be on shirts and tote bags, excitement!)

its very flat to me right now, ill find a way to make the eye move more smoothly throughout the piece by the end of the night.
