Character Design Finals

Finished! So the final assignment for Character Design was to create two good characters, and two evil characters. Can you tell which is which?

Immigrants, Violins and the Apocolypse

Some layout drawings, specifically a violin repair shop and a post-apocalyptic cable car clock shop. Don't ask, I don't make up the assignments, only the location, hence the post apocolyptic (aka Alyvia wanted to draw destroyed things) location. They are both done in "wonky" style

Study and sketch

The top image is a painting I started in my Portrait Painting class. Hopefully I'll get some time to finish it over the break. The bottom drawing is a sketch I did while I was watching "Glee." Lea Michele, your voice is amazing!

Maquette!

So for the last six weeks the drawing board has been put away and we have moved on to making maquettes of our characters! Here is the original sketch for mine, and photos of what it looks like about ten hours in! I have to say, it feels so nice using my hands. Making something three dimensional is amazingly different, but fun as well. I am finding that I don't really need to use reference for this, as my hands just realize that the form doesn't feel right. Not always true with drawing.

Oh and please excuse her lack of head. Her face looks a bit like Freddy Kruger's right now, so I thought it would be best to leave it off :)

Ooooooold Art

Some ancient art of mine, from ancient days! Man how things have changed!

New Blog!

Howdy! So after having too many embarrassing conversations about where the name of my previous blog came from, I decided it was time to man up (woman up?) and make something more adult, devoid of pompous nicknames and blog entries about old professors. So here we are, something a bit more professional :)
