3D Props WIP

Here's my finished first prop and my WIP second one. The sandwich maker is a lot more complicated than the coffee maker. Glad I didn't do the sandwich one first! I'm hoping to have all my props for this semester kitchen themed so I can put them in a scene together by the end

Food Fighters characters 2

Here's the second iteration pass on my characters for Food Fighters. Felt like I was able to dive deeper into their character/backstory and attitude from last week since we were able to narrow down primary attributes for them. I'll be doing a cleaned up drawing of them for next week!

Jaina and the online community

I'm blown away by the response this piece has generated online. I posted it to Reddit and Twitter and all the comments have been overwhelmingly positive. If you're reading this, just know how much I appreciate you guys taking your time and looking at my stuff!! Thank you!

This piece is probably the longest I've ever spent on a painting from ideation to finish. It's probably because I was forced to work on it over a couple of weeks since school started. I was able to sneak in a couple hours here and there. To be honest, I wasn't completely happy with how I brought the greyscale into color. Still happy with how it came out though! I'm planning on doing either Diana from LoL or Alexstrasza's human form next

Swarm crits

Here are some crits that I'm giving Swarm's art team as the art director. Removed the names just in case

Food Fighters character sketches

Character sketches for my concept ideation class. Each character is based around the food found in their region. 

I think I'm starting to ease into a sketching process. You can see that as I go from Lucy to Sandy to Vega to Finn, my lines get a lot thinner and cleaner as I build up confidence. I like the light values on dark background, really makes the characters pop a bit more and makes the drawing seem a little cleaner than it actually is. We'll see how these dudes evolve over the course of the semester!

Environment asset studies

For my concept sketchbook class. We have to do 3 pages of studies each week of something we're not entirely comfortable with. I don't often draw many hard surface things so I found this to be a good opportunity to take a shot at it

Swarm environment style guide

Environmental style guide I made for the art team. Had to think a bit about this one, more so than the character one. Probably will do a more detailed one later down the line 

Swarm Style Guide

So I was made Co Art Lead on the Swarm AGP. First task was to establish some guidelines for the characters. Will probably get more specific within the context of the actual game later on since these are fairly general. Onto environments next!

First prop

Here's the modeled out version of a coffee maker for my first prop for class. I actually really prefer modeling props and environment stuff over characters. Maybe Zbrush will change that in the future. Kevin's a really great teacher. Dedicated, straight-forward, and professional.

Another semester at LCAD

Here are some storyboard type stuff we did in class yesterday for my Visual Storytelling class which we were supposed to do with 3 main values. The PC at school didn't have any pressure sensitivity so I ended up using a lasso tool. I finished some of these up with a soft brush to blend in some of the hard edges.

I really like my teachers so far. Dan Quarnstrom for Environment Design is super awesome and motivational!
