Some Photography

Here are just a variety of photographs that I've taken throughout.  I will add more over time

                                          

Illustration Friday: Yield

For the word 'yield', I simply thought of a bus stop of all things.  I wanted to make a rather creepy looking fellow, lets just call him 'Chester'.  A man from the middle of nowhere who just waits for the bus no matter what.  I started with a basic pencil drawing, but I felt I wanted to broaden my horizons and practice my watercolour skills.

I decidedly chose a monochromatic styling to give off a cold, almost dank atmosphere.
I also added yellow for the eyes to show that Chester could be otherwordly.

Illustration Friday: Intention

For this past Illustration Friday, I was given the word 'Intention'.  Unfortunately at the time, my camera was broken so I was unable to take pictures of the process.

So here I wanted to describe the process of reaching a goal, trying to reach the tip of the ladder for success.  The ghost-like figures are the adversities that one would face when trying to reach said goal, holding you back from your primary intention. 

I made the right hand kind of transparent and incomplete in a way just to represent the process of completion.

Digital Menagerie

Here is just a variety of digital drawings that I have either done just for fun or for conceptual sketches.

All of these have been created in photoshop on a tablet so I can practice and hone my digital skills.

Illustration Friday: Capable- Tiny Tim

For this past Illustration Friday. I was given the word, Capable.  It took a while for me to come with a solid idea, but then I thought of  one being capable of anything; so i made an imaginative young lad who truly believes he can be a superhero.  

This was a quick sketch done in a regular pen as I was away without any of my art supplies at the time.

I went over the sketch in a higher quality ink pen here. And I also went over the shadow with an ink brush. 

Here I added creaky floorboards, boarded up walls; just a dank looking place.  This was to show that despite the little guy living in a nasty lifestyle, his positive attitude and imagination leads him to greatness

Illustration Friday:Forward- Progressive Thinking

This piece is based off of the word 'Forward'.  Oddly enough, it didn't take much time for me to think of a Mad Max like character (named Ed) duct-taping a gigantic monster of a weapon to a dinosaur like creature.  

I thought the picture turned out great, but it needed a little bit of colour.  I decided that I'll just do a  little red on Ed to make him stand out more.  There's something about adding a splash of red to a black and white picture or graphite drawing that just looks good in my eyes. 

Misadventures in Mohawk

Here is a little comic I had to do for my Image and Inspiration class about the first day of college.  Not much to say other than I had to beat up hordes of vampyric monsters with my class-mates.
