le panda.



Panda!

Part of the final project for computer illustration. There will be more cute and furry animals to come. My aim is for Scholastic.

bird stole my sandwich.


A couple character images done for Computer Illustration.

The background was rushed, I was really sick and had to get them done in time.

But I like the way the personalities emerged.

Ice and Fire


Line work for my second Illustration II project. The theme is "fire and ice," but I won't explain it just yet. There is going to be a detailed background, and this isn't the dimensions of the actual piece.

Some issues with the dog, but I like the fact that he/she doesn't look exactly like a husky or anything. It's a little ambiguous.

He's a tramp, v 2.0.



First portrait done in Illustrator. It's a beast of a program, but it's been an interesting learning experience. Overall, I feel so-so about the outcome.

Maybe I'm biased. I feel as though I just couldn't do the great Chaplin any justice.

He's a tramp.



Sketch for our third project in computer illustration. Of course I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do Chaplin as his Little Tramp. <3

It'll be fully rendered in Adobe Illustrator. A program which I have a very heated love/hate relationship with.

puddles and Planet Hollywood...




...Made for a memorable afternoon. :) So much so, it became the subject for my first illustration project.

Rendered in watercolor on illustration board, with some details added in brown India ink and gouche; all on top of a pencil sketch.

The scan came out terrible, but it's the best I can do.

Grey skies and waterlogged boots won't us back. :)

In a village among the hills...



Presenting the first page of the book. There are a select few alterations to make, including changing the color of the sky, but this is 95% done and done.

There are many, many more left to do, there are seven that are in the final stages so far, out of a book of approximately 32 pages. It's the most ambitious project I've been a part of, but I am confident that this is going to guarantee me a promising career as an illustrator.

Charlot


He's a traveling tramp. He sings songs and tells tall tales about his faraway home in Co. Kerry, Ireland.
He loves to laugh.

Dear Charles.


These boys.

It is Sebastian from Brideshead Revisited on the left; one of the last Great Works of fiction. By Evelyn Waugh.


I am more of a Charles Ryder, myself.

Under the Dog Star, sail.


This is Wink.

He is a monster who lives in a fantasy world called Aexemplaar.
There will be more of him, coming.

Always summer.




Two personal pieces done for the summer so far. Not a very lucrative one it's been in the ways of personal art. But the children's book I've been working on certainly makes up for that.

Yes, I like foxes. They are incredibly intriguing, and there is so much lore that surrounds the Fox.

I have walked across the sun.



No really, who's team would you want to be on?
I'll take the indestructible godlike man, thanks.

Just some lame fanart done in Illustrator. In a couple of minutes. In a cave with some scraps.

Watchmen belongs to Alan Moore, the weirdo genius he is.
