Portraits

some 20 drawings and one 40 minute drawing I did in portrait illustration class.

RAWR! sketches

Here are some sketches I did recently for an adult monster activity book called RAWR!

Wolfmother and Baroness posters

Here are the two final images for the Wolfmother and Baroness posters. I'm overall pretty happy with both, but the top half of the Baroness poster is kinda meh in my opinion and looks sloppy.

Wolfmother and Baroness poster ideas

I'm created a few band posters, namely for Wolfmother and Baroness for my portfolio. The top is a rough idea of what I want this cosmic, psychedelic poster to look like, and the bottom are sketches for the Baroness poster. For each one, I thought about what I pictured visually while listening to each band an tried to portray that, in a sense anyway.

super maybe final Dethklok image

Alright, so I wasn't really happy with the text I had in the other image because it was just some grungy text I found on a website, so I decided to just make my own so that it would look how I wanted to look and appear more cohesive and integrated into the piece. I did the same technique on the text as I did with the skull but I  made the outer glow red, which I'm still not super sure about; I wanted it to stand apart from the image somehow in a subtle way, but I wouldn't say it looks necessarily better than if the glow was white...hm, either way, IT'S METAL!

Metal Shirt

I decided on a whim to make a band t-shirt for the Dethklok concert coming up that I'll be going to this weekend. I figured "hey, t-shirts are $25 at concerts, and half the time they're kind of ugly, so I'll make one for super cheap and it'll be awesome!" I spent $8 total for two black t-shirts for my boyfriend and myself, already had the shirt transfer paper lying around the house. I looked at the Dethklok skull that's in the show and went off of that kind of design but obviously went off my own design and perspective. It's all pen on paper and I scanned it in and did some fancy Photoshop stuff and played around with the linework until I liked it and finally added the awesome metal font and tada! cheap band shirts that are probably better than the actual shirts at the concert.

A sketch a day...

Sketches I did over the past couple of days for my "sketch a day" determination project. The first one I did while listening to Wolfmother, who I've been obsessed with for the last few weeks...they're just...AWESOME. The second one was just an idea going off of the feather and skull motif that are in my earlier sketches.
