Sketchbook: Digital Illustration

I don't know how I'm going to fit them all here, but hopefully I'll be able to stuff all 100 or so images. I've got quite a few doodles from this semester. Even though it's been rough, to be honest I LOVED this semester.

I love how it pushed me to draw and expand my skill.
I love how it empowered me with giving me great digital tools, so I wont be afraid to play with lighting and color and texture. Things I would be too afraid to do on a 40 hour painting.
I love the many friends that I met, and professors I got to call friends.

Illustration Assignment: Rimblade Menu Background

This is supposed to be for an Android phone screen. It's the background for our Main Menu. It's up to the Art Director if he actually wants to use it however.

The Goal here is to enlarge the menu section

Reference:  I was heavily influenced by Doug Chiang's Mechanika work, which I am perfectly envious of. The two illustrations are his.

Assignment: Sleep Disorder

Assignment: To illustrator a sleep disorder.

I've chosen Apena. While a few of my fellow artists and class mates took night terrors, insomnia, and narcolepsy and did great with them, I wanted to step away from awesome teddy bears fighting off monsters. I also wanted to see if I could strech my style a bit and see if I could grow in my digital ability. This thumb nail is the result.

A long time ago, I used to have a roommate who had apena. I'm not kidding, he shook the windows with that mighty nose. Kept my other roommates and me up every night for hours.  Blau, this is for you.
