Ada Wong digital paint

So this is the first time I've ever done some serious digital painting. I decided to choose Ada Wong from the "Resident Evil" franchise just simply because I'm a fan of "Resident Evil". As always, I start out with a drawing of Ada Wong, re-touch the image in Photoshop, and then I begin to paint. Overall, I feel it's not a bad first attempt, I would've like the face to have turned out a little bit better for a future attempt as it's one of the most crucial aspects for creating attractive female characters. Other than that, I'm satisfied with the outcome.

Adobe Illustrator tutorial: Glossy Yo-Yo

A fairly simple tutorial with a decent outcome. Fun fact: I use to own a yo-yo as a child and I wasn't too bad, I had some skill :P. Total nostalgia.

Adobe Illustrator tutorial: Chef's Knife



On a less intense note, I found another Illustrator tutorial via vectortuts' website. This one shows you how to build a chef's knife. Fairly basic tutorial, with a decent looking outcome, that I completed in like 35 mins.

Adobe Photoshop Tutorial: Futuristic Portrait




This was a really intense Photoshop tutorial. The results are less than spectacular due to the fact that this is the first time I'v ever done something so intense in Photoshop. I'm sure if I do this tutorial a second or third time, I might get the portrait to look better. Link to tutorial: Futuristic Portrait

Adobe Illustrator tutorial: "Launch" button


Another interesting and simple tutorial for Illustrator; a "Launch" or "Fire the Missiles" button.

Toronto Raptors logo in 3D Studio MAX



As part of my final 3D assignment, I built and render a 3D model of the Toronto Raptors logo. This was used in my final animation along with my Cleveland Cavaliers logo.
