Desoto Strut

In a weeks time I will be in my first ever gallery show. It is here in Savannah, GA. I have done 3 new pieces for the show. I will be having a large update in a few days once I am done with all my final projects. My life has been rather crazy lately with trying to get things done on time. Below is the flyer for the show:

Digital Octo

For our final Digital Illustration class we have to do a digital painting. This is my first direct digital painting. I am simply going to be doing a digital version of Octopussy. Here is a shot of it in progress.

Soo busy...

Sorry for not updating for a while, have been very busy with school projects. The last one of which was a digital collage. Combining drawn images, textures, text, and many layers in Photoshop! Below is the planning and final image of the project. I am happy with it, as I would love to get into this kind of thing one day! I chose Dimmu Borgir because I am a big fan. I am currently working on some more pieces for a gallery show in 3 weeks. I am very excited as it is my first. There will be multiple other artists, hopefully I can get some sweet shots of the night!

Phelps...

I've finished my Michael Phelps piece, I have posted it below. Next on the agenda for me is a cd cover for one of my favourite bands. I am still trying to decide on a band... But I am thinking Devildriver. This is my next project for electronic illustration. Our next project for editorial is an illustration about lies. Should be interesting. I still have to get to the sketch phase. Today will be filled with drawing for me!

Phelps Progress

I started my Michael Phelps assignment today. At first I was thinking of doing a portrait of him in high contrast, but I didn't end up liking that idea. So I switched to a side view of him looking disappointed. Below is the shot of my process in trying to draw an accurate face. I battle with portraits so it took me a lot of time to try end get it right.

First Digital Piece

I finally completed my first digital piece. Here it is, complete with textures.

Weekend

Busy weekend ahead of me. I have to start a piece for my editorial class, we're doing celebrity scandals. I have chosen to do Michael Phelps and his bong rip. So will be getting going on that. I also have to complete my first ever electronic illustration for my class. Below is the work in progress, we scanned in the line work and have been working with that. And on top of that I have to almost complete my etching project for printmaking. Hopefully I can get going on that!
