Hand drawings

Part of my Independent Illustration (that's right, hopefully I won't be a wannabe Illustrator forever) portfolio required my to draw two expressive gestures of my hand. These are the final results. I'm much happier with the first hand drawing because of the curves of the fingers as oppose to drawing just a smooth shape for each finer and the better shading. The second drawing, the gesture is bit more of a cliche, plus the shadows/highlights are not that great either. I was under a bit of pressure trying to meet the obligations of three portfolios for programs I thoroughly enjoy and I kind of regret drawing the second, in the pose it's in, just to fulfill my portfolio obligations. Will definitely keep practicing these drawings as portfolios seem to demand these hand drawings.

Drawings galore!

The Arsenal. I never realized that I had drawn so many weapons, this page is like one-third of what I have in my sketch book.

Gargoyle attempt. His face looks more like satan than a gargoyle, plus I think the head is too small. Needs to be larger.

Family Guy: "Diabeto"

I was bored so I ended up building this in Illustrator. Link to video below.

Lollipop Hatchet/Machete

So there's a game being released sometime in 2012 titled "Lollipop Chainsaw". They game follows zombie hunter/cheerleader Juliet Starling who fights zombies in 'San Romero high school' where Juliet used to cheer. The game's main character inspired me to build a character based off her likeness. Here are some of my creations. I mainly experimented with the eyes and the weapons she's holding. I'm happy with how the hair turned out. In my previous designs my characters hair always looks kind of flat, this time, my character's hair looks more dynamic. Between the two sketches, I prefer the second one. In terms of the digital renderings, I prefer the last one. Hope everyone has a happy Halloween!

AAHHH!! ZOMBIES!!!!

Using the 'zombie face' asset I developed from the tutorial, I went and made a poster for the Toronto 'zombie walk'. Here's the final result. I like the colour of the paper texture, the puke-greenish colour is reminiscent of the zombie skin tone and re-making the face was a tough choice to make, but ultimately, I believe the poster benefits from the re-make.

F1 Poster: Monaco Grand Prix

Using the F1 car asset I made earlier, I built a poster promoting the Monaco Grand Prix, just for fun. The  streaks of light were made by creating a rectangle, cinching in either the two left or right hand points to narrow it down, copying the streak and blurring it to make it look like it's glowing. This was all built using Adobe Illustrator.
