Zombie School Girls

I started this awhile ago after my friend dreamt about it and only recently picked it back up. I'll probably go back and fix some of the anatomy when I make time, but for now here it is. I have a newfound respect for inkers. They make it look deceivingly simple. It's not. Thanks to everyone who helped critique this.



Ink, photoshop

I promise I'm not obsessed with zombies. No more zombies for awhile.

Arabian Market Place

This is an environment for my character design class (ironically) where my group is redesigning Aladdin for a live action film. This would be the market place. I absolutely love the sketches Shinji Kimura did for Tekkonkinkreet, so I tried to emulate some of those qualities.

Here are some color and atmosphere studies. I mostly took saved some photos and paintings I enjoyed and grabbed the color to get different results.

Life painting

More life painting from my Narrative Color class. Super fun 80's look with the orange and turquoise lights against her neon colors. Unfortunately I didn't make time to get the hands down.

Depression's Upside

This is based on an article regarding how studies show clinically depressed people are typically more analytical thinkers, better problem solvers, creative, etc.
You can read the article here.

I've been trying to focus on a quick solution for images. Still trying to use photoshop textures.

Baltimore Zombie Map

For concepts we were assigned to make a map. Naturally I chose a zombie apocalypse in Baltimore. I focused on key safe houses throughout the city to hide at rather than drawing each building.

Where's Waldo?

Today's sketch

This is a beautiful cathedral in Mt. Vernon that doesn't actually have a giant bird's nest on top. I'm spending too much money on croquils because this paper wears them out so quickly. If any inkers out there have advice on how to preserve them I'd like to hear it.



Sat down by the railyard today to sketch for a few hours. It was fun! I get pretty sloppy so I make a ton of mistakes, but sometimes they grow on me.

Unappetizing

Here's a quick illustration I did for class. I've been using a croquil lately for some projects since I've never been much of an inker. It's a lot of fun and super satisfying to just lay in such permanent lines. I usually try to plan everything out from start to finish for better results, but this one was start to finish in one afternoon.

Lace

I started this about a month or so ago, working on it on and off. I mainly wanted to practice skin tones and create a transparent lace effect. As usual a bunch of the colors are totally shot from inadequate documentation/scanning.

This piece is going to be included in the ICON 6: A Labor of Line show at Gallery Nucleus. It's pretty surreal to be showcased in a gallery I've admired for so long. Many thanks to Gallery Nucleus for giving me this opportunity!

The show opens July 16th and runs though August 9th.

Here's my piece in the show! I'm fortunate enough to have attended the opening. If you're in the area I highly recommend checking it out.


Sorry for the severe lack of updates.

Vague Painting- Sold!

Someone I don't know recently purchased this. I guess they just stumbled upon my blog. You never know who's looking!
