Initial Development for Cradle
One of my upcoming project ideas is currently titled Cradle. It started off as one of those ideas where some totally off-the-wall concept turned out to be something that sounded like a great idea. When I have a bit more solidly defined information ready to present on it, I’ll post again and reveal more about…

Portfolio Pruning
I’ve been doing some updates to the site here, obviously. Here are the pieces that have since been cut from my main portfolio. This should hopefully mean I’ll have some new work up soon! Also, since I’ve gone and edited my website’s skin in general, let me know if you see any bugs so I…

Black Stallion Project Progress
As mentioned previously I was taking Painting Drama, and this is part of my final project based on the Black Stallion. The initial thumbnails were based on some random splatter and scribble based compositions and developed from there. I decided I wanted the story to be sci-fi and the Black to be some sort of…

Standoff – Progress & Final
And this was one of the projects I did for Chris Oatley’s Painting Drama 1 class. I’m happy with the result. And then there was the final. I made some adjustments based on what was suggested in class.

Small Projects
I’ve also done some small, one-off images recently. I’ve been trying to work with the methods discussed in the Magic Box, just so I get some more experience with it. It had some pretty mixed results but I think at this point I’ve finally figured it out. None of these are particularly interesting compositionally, however,…

Magic Box Progress
For the magic box one of the assignments was to do a pseudo-master copy of a painting with a person in it.. Aaaaand turn them into an animal. I used a Rembrandt painting as a base and a harpy eagle as my chosen animal. I had some pictures from the LA zoo to use…

The Turaco Rider
There was this big green bird that hopped a lot in the pet store in the town my parents lived in. Turns out, that bird was a turaco. They’re pretty neat birds, so you should totally read about them. For this, I picked the red-crested turaco, because it wasn’t too extravagantly colored, but wasn’t just…

The Toy
Budgies are great little birds — and quite silly, which lends itself well to one-off images. For those who don’t have parrots, understand that they can be scared of the most bizarre things, including their own toys. I picked a normal green budgie and an English violet crested budgie, and went from there. The toy…

The Aquarium
This was technically the third of my new pieces from this last semester. After pretty much being told that there was a huge difference between my new and old work in my portfolio, I figuratively trashed the old stuff and started work on some new things. Of course, I had to draw at least some (non-avian) creature.…

Zikkihuru : Friends, continued
And now for the final Zikkihuru piece (for the moment), Friends. Of all the images for this project, this is still the one that I am the most happy with. It pretty much lived up to what I had been hoping (again, unless I went and redid the whole thing now). This piece had considerably…
