Illustration Friday: Puzzled

Digital drawing for the word 'puzzled', had lots of fun with this one!  Learned how to make planets from a fellow student!  I think it turned out quite well!

Illustration Friday: Vocal

For the word vocal, I wanted to do something visceral, something fierce, so what's the first thing that comes to mind?  Screaming flesh-eating ghouls of course!!

Here I worked alot on shading and lighting, still practicing, but I'm improving.  For both shading and lighting, I used multiple layers and gaussian blurs for the different values.  I really enjoyed making this, more digital stuff along the way.

My Game Concepts

Here is where I'll post some character designs, level structures, and different concept stuff for the upcoming game I'm working on

          

Illustration Friday: Shade- Double Feature

For Shade, I decided to make two illustrations.  One graphite + pencil crayons, the other being watercolour.   

The first one I did was watercolour, and i wanted to be a bit more stylized with this one.  I first used a layer of pure water on the paper to give it a more fluid look to it, the added water does add to a watery feel.  I essentially used a variety of wet and dry brush techniques and speckling on here.

The second illustration was a quick pencil drawing of an apocalyptic fiendish creature.  Simple pencil and smudging for the teeth and gums, and for the reflection in the goggles was just pencil crayon and some kneadable eraser to add a shine.

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.
