Stereotypes in whites

Something Peter Emslie had us do: to design clearly identifiable types in non descriptive clothing. There is supposed to be four :) but I dont think it achieved the intended type.

In case you didnt guess the types here; they are: English professor, ballerina, and a truck-stop waitress.

This is a large 36"X12" charcoal illustration I had done for my sister's 19th birthday

Galleon in asteroid field

This is something our layout instructor Piotr Bielicki had us do (so you should see a bunch of these damn ships around the blog community). Made you do a little research, and think about composition without getting into too much detail (on the asteroids).

CLERK 725

In second year we had to come up with a story idea. We were asked to develop artwork, characters and story board it. This is all to get us ready for 3rd and 4th year to get a feeling for the entire process. I have to say that although I am not proud of it, I have learned a lot about the process and hopefully will not make the same mistakes in future projects.

A couple of story sketches:



Here are some selected character designs:

Story Reel

Because of time limitations and last minute story changes, the boards are EXTREMELY rough, although still quite readable. You can download the 15M story reel here:

Elephatork

Something I had developed for one of those CG Networks (now called CG Society) contests. It was the MachineFlesh contest which required a character to be a blend of organic and machine. So I thought it would be pretty cool to fuse an elephant and a stork. Although I didn't go ahead with the challenge, I ended up doing a large charcoal illustration of this thing during the summer after first year.
