Reporter - Beginners Guide to Urban Exploring

Article for the Reporter. Came out pretty good though one person said that it could have been 'grittier' and I could see it going in that direction as well. I suppose what I was going for was some lighter/airier colors since these people are beginners and not veteran (gritty) explorers. Overall I like this one a lot. (The cropping is strange because the illustration ran in the upper left hand corner of the article.)

Spider Cook

Rejected concept for an editorial illustration about starting a new business. Turned out pretty interesting despite the disconnect. It could however definitely be about becoming a chef or spiders with interesting characteristics (ones that mate in mid air, how they catch their food, etc...).

Bell Jar

Project about creating the feeling associated with a secret society. The concept here is supposed to illustrate an inviting, warm environment that the outside viewer, in their cold and rainy world, desires to become part of. Took about 8 hours with concept and execution. Watercolors and Acrylic on Bristol board.

Nature Studies

Studies for Sketchbook class. I was particularly loving mushrooms this week. Sketches in graphite.

Gummy Bears

Gummy Bear article about mixing drinks. Haven't used Photoshop in while so I was pretty pleased about how this turned out.

Reporter: Game as a Product vs. Game as a Service

 

 

Article from the Reporter dealing with games that offer micro-transactions and downloadable content vs. quality games that endure the test of time.

All Night

Owl Boxer. I really like how this came out. 'All Night' because owls are out hunting at night...looking for prey.

Finicky B/W

Illustration for Sketchbook class. I actually prefer the way it looks in black and white to my colored version. The plan is to take it into Photoshop and add color.

Skeletons

Skeleton studies for Sketchbook I. The one on the left is from another artist's drawing and the one on the right is from life.
