An Advanced Photoshop Techniques assignment where we had to make a postcard, poster, jewel case and CD label using templates and paying attention to the bleed, trim, and safety designations of the PDF. It was a lot of fun.

The artist's name is Heather Christian. Check out her music! She's quite snazzy. And the first classy Myspace page I've seen in years!

Just finished this. I like butterflies and purple DnD dice. Not sure how long this took me but I'm very pleased with it, if I can be honest, lol. I didn't fashion myself a painter before.

This is for Advanced Photoshop Techniques, a 1 week assignment. Click on the image to see its full dimensions -- the blog crops it a bit.

EDIT:
Revision!

An octopus man. I want to go back and fix this because I had a lot of issues with Photoshop crashing and having to restart it -- thus I had to rush. A few edges look really bad up close. But overall I'm pretty pleasantly surprised with it.

I love painting this character -- he's created by a friend, though I help conceptualize him sometimes. Tentacles are awesome. You just put them where you need more compositional shapes. Like, what more do you need.

Something for Advanced Photoshop techniques. The hair looks bad, but I was focusing more on the face.

This was my first assignment for Eros, but it wasn't until the midterm that I got the colors on it. It's half-toned, as well; I liked the comicky aspect that would have. I think the hardest part was not letting the bg get too drab, and keeping her brighter. Also not making her look like a postal worker or an inmate.

This was for my Eros class. I think it's a huge improvement over HBC and so I'm quite happy. I'm also including the original linework because.... I like it. And I'm always pretty klutzy with colors.

EDIT:
Received my midterm crit over this piece, uploading the new colors now instead!

I should be doing other work, but I was too pleased with this and too sad I hadn't updated my blog in a while. I still have more Economos sketches, too, so those'll have to come up later.

For Illustration 2's independent study. There are some things that I want to change, but it's done for now.
