Mountain Elfs!

Drawing inspiration from "Lilo and Stitch" and Final Fantasy, I created the devilish "Mountain Elfs". When I had originally began working on this project, my intentions were to make the Legend of Weyland into a sort of video game. With these guys I designed them in a few varying shapes and poses, as well as designing a larger "Big Bad Boss" for them. Perhaps I will touch up on some of these guys and bring them to a complete finish in the future.

Volsungsaga : The main three

So I am going to post  some of my BFA show onto my Blog, I hope you all enjoy it! Today is the silhouette studies of the three main characters, Weyland, Bodvild, and Nidud respectively.

Captain Anthony Rogers

Here is Captain Anthony "Buck" Rogers

Buck Rogers' Space Blaster

I decided to flesh out a prop I have been working on for a little while, I hope ya'll dig!

Stewardess?

This is a concept piece I am working on for my digital class

Vampire Babe

Here is a video game character for the character select screen portion of the student film I am working on (expressions coming up)

Bodvild

Bodvild is the daughter of the evil King Nidud. After the entrapment of Weyland, Bodvild received the ring of his former beloved, Hervor. In some versions of the story, Bodvild falls in love with Weyland and bears his child, after she visits him to have her new ring re sized.

Here is another Harry Potter portrait sketch. It has been a while since I have updated this blog between my previous posts, so I am making up for lost time.

Early Morning Gesture Studies

Annabelle Gestures

Here are a few gesture drawings I did of my daughter while she played outside on the playground. I did these in graphite and also in felt tip pen.

Sketchbook

Today I went to the Bean Life Science Museum for class to work on some sketches, here they are.

John Carter and sketches

Today I did a few fun sketches in my sketch book, and I even decided to color one after watching the Disney movie John Carter of Mars.

Finding time to sketch in the sketchbook every day is important to maintain, so one can continually develop ability and stay is "shape".

Also, today in class, we did some figure painting, I think it came out nicely in spite of the lack of completeness.

The Gesture

I went to the 9 a.m. drawing session and did a few 2-3 minute gesture drawings, some came out better than others. I first came in with the mind set to produce some killer gestures to post on the blog, needless to say, that wasn't working out for me very well. I then decided during the 1 minute gestures, to stop caring and focus more on the practical application of figure drawing, and see what I was doing poorly versus well.

While these studies are far from perfect, I feel they demonstrate more of what I learn about myself the more I draw. Focusing more on the shapes and forms in a simple manner, allowed me to more effectively interpret the model when I worked on the more quick studies.

Bloggin' on up, up, and away

It is official now, my blog is up for the posting. I shall do my best committing myself to regularly updating this. But for now here are a few figure studies I have done a little while back.

When I did these I felt a good sense of accomplishment, and feel that my abilities were really starting to move forward. These pieces demonstrate my understanding of Form and Cast Shadows as well as some simple design principles.


I will be retaking these photos in the near future so the quality of them won't be as poor.
