Illustration Friday: Sight

So for this one, I've decided to submit 2 portraits; one Sight, and the other Sightless.
I'm actually working on making a portrait everyday for the rest of this month (check 'my daily works' for all of them so far).  These particular felt-tipped pen pieces were done under a heavy time constraint, as I only had a chance to work on them during my 45 minute lunch breaks at work.  But alas, I did what had to be done.

My Daily Works

I've made a goal starting today to make a portrait of anyone/anything for the rest of the month, who knows, maybe even longer :)

Day 1: Popcorn the Amorphous Thing
So for this day I basically sketched out the first thing that came to mind this morning; a strange bumpy alien like thing.  Purely used the charcoal stick .  Started with a quick outline here and the disgruntled face, almost showing a disparity.

Here i did some detail work on the face adding a bit more shading to his bumps.

For the final product, I darkened the circles around his eyes to show that they are sunken in.  I added more tumorous growths on the head, and completed the detailing.  All in all I really enjoyed this, and I'm excited to start another piece.

Day 2: The Best Representation of Myself
This day I decided to do a self portrait, so I took a picture of myself when I woke up and just draw how I felt afterwards. (i know it's a dark photo)

I wanted to point out my half-hearted 'smile' so I made is as a grotesque Joker-like scar (which works cuz I have my share of facial scars from martial arts training).  I also wanted to emphasize my large, globular eyes. Another really fun piece, I'm enjoying this project so far!

Day 3: Mutha's Day
This one was just a fun little piece I did, for the special day celebrating our matriarchs.

Day 4: Roswell

For this day I decided to mix it up with a quick little digital painting.  I basically made my interpretation of the  traditional 'Grey Alien'.  Simple photoshop painting and got a chance to work on the planets again.

Day 5+6: Smirk

This one was done all with one pen and man did it feel long (Took approximately 8 hours total).  Unfortunately I didn't get to work on many more drawings due to work and doing research for my game, so this one counts as the other one I missed. 

There was alot of detail put into the exposed muscular structure of our model here.  Spent alot of time on it and I personally am really proud of it 

Day 7: Sight (illustration friday as well)

Another pen drawing based on the word "sight".  I wanted to accentuate the eyes for obvious reasoning.  This was a little test for me as I wanted to see what I can make in a >45 minute time period as I only had a chance to do this on my lunch break at work.  I think it turned out well considering.

Day 8: Sightless

This one is another portrait done at work, so I had a rough time constraint.  Quick and fun.

Day 9: Stressed

After having a rather anxious night this Victoria day, I thought that rather than let the stress take over me, I'll use it to my advantage.  I listened to some crazy music ('Unexpect' check 'em out) and made a very aggressive charcoal piece. 

Day 10- Koffing

Here I did my favourite Pokemon, KOFFING!  For those who aren't familiar, Koffing is essentially a floating toxic-gaseous tumor with a big smile on its face.

(my interpretation, similar no?)

So to make this, I simply sketched it in ink, scanned it, and then coloured it in photoshop. 

Day 11- ロボット (Robotto)
Much along the same lines of what I did with Day 10, I used ink and photoshop to colour.  Had to do most of this at work.

Day 12- Hypno (more Pokemon)

Maybe I should consider doing a pokemon series. Hypno was creepy to start with, I just added a couple details.

Day 13+14 Suspicion

Unfortunately due to work and lack of supplies at work, I missed a day, but made up for it by making this shady lil' fella.  Done with a HB pencil

Day 15 Muk and Grimers

My last Pokemon post for the month.  Alot of people requested I do this as a series, so I'm breaking the ice.

So here are my little sentient puddles of sludge 

Day 16 Swamp Thing

An older ink sketch I did, thought it could use some colour so I  touched it up digitally.

Day 17- Fear

My last piece of this May series. And this one sure crept me out. Just thought "I think I wanna make something freaky today" so I did.

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
