further progress ....

I swear, it feels like it's never going to be done. Another photo of the work I got done today with close up of two areas.

In Progress ....

This is turning out to be huge ... well, huger than I normally work with. It's 13" x 27" with 1" bleed all around. I think the hatching and the inking is going to take me forever.







More technical studies for the train illustration.




Here's the rough for the scene for Buddha. If it's approved, I'll be enlarging that to probably somewhere in the size of 11" x 17" ... hopefully nothing too big yet again.

Piano!

So I wanted to draw something musical ....

Gods (cont)

Here's some more roughs (ink and watercolours) for my thesis project.







I still don't have a proper composition for him yet, but I have one in my mind so I guess once I draw it out, it should all work out ... hopefully. The blanket's looking nice, but I guess I'm going to have unknot that knot so he doesn't look like super hero Buddha.




Sometimes I just hate my scanner since it picks up textures whenever I dont want it to and it doesn't when I want it to. I swear it laughs at me at night when I'm not looking or maybe it's doing it now. OH well.

Bonus!

One more post just for a bonus, I guess. This is a poker game between a knight and a dragon over a princess. I thought it'd be a fun way for the two to deal it out, ya know. I've got to get around to finishing this one day plus the other game illustration I thought of.










Keep waiting for more.

Gods

I guess since I mentioned my 4th year Illustration Thesis, I should post some stuff for it. I'm doing the re-imaginging of old gods and new gods (ie. Zeus as an old god and the god of Trains as the new one). I got inspired from the novel American God by Neil Gaiman, who's an amazing author by the way and I really wish there was more novels by him so I can continue to read his works. Here's the roughs for Buddha and the God of Trains (who I still have to name).




.... and yes, he's building the railway from people and that wasn't meant to be a social comment on the railways of the past though I guess it sort of turned out that way.







Buddha is suppose to begging on the subway though I stil have to figure out a way to draw that.

WOOHOO!

I'm not dead after all ... just very lazy with posting of stuff since school started again. 4th is turning out to be tiring even with those four dayweekends every week. There's just so much to do and thesis is just taking so much out of me. OH well! Back to posting good looking stuff.




Here's the finished version of the toy soldier. I finished it in August, but didn't get a chance to post it yet. I liked how it turned out. I might want to try this again with only black and white with hatching instead ...




Here's the 2nd one in the toy series, I guess. The original idea came when I wanted to draw a princess, wearing the armor of the knight sent to rescue her, stepping on the defeated dragon. Anyways, long story short as one of my prof says, I didn't get around to finishing that princess picture, but drew this instead. I'm sorta picturing a tomboy princess having this in the medieval days.
