Is it Spring Break yeeeet?

I feel like this has been the longest two weeks of my life! It hasn't, but...I want a break! It's the week after next, so I still have to wait!

Anyway, I've been up to a whole lotta stuff, finishing my animation and doing paper craft(something I may never, ever do again) So, enough with the talking. Here is some art (if you wanna call it that).

PAPERCRAFT FROM HELL. Here is Derpina the Fairy

I used two different patterns, hand painted it, glued it, yelled at it, nearly broke it several times, glued it the wrong way a few times, and almost forgot the arms. DERP. It's like, 5-6 inches tall. I can't say I'll be doing one of these again....ever.

Jekyll and Hyde hasn't been completely put on the back burner, I did fix up the sketch in the last post and worked on a lighting study for another scene. I'll be finishing up what I'm showing you now tonight and tomorrow.

I'll be fixing up the girl in the shadows, putting in a crack to let you know he's leaning against a fridge, fix up his hand, and adjust his reflection and expression.

This lighting study was going to be the preliminary drawing for another scene (if I ever get to it) of the detective/lawyer finding out that Jekyll knows Hyde.

aaaaaaaaand now some sketches.

*sigh* Midterm

And, here it is. Week 8. I can't believe how fast it's going! I so far haven't died and I've kept up on all my school work! Hopefully spring break will be nice and relaxing so I can kick the second half of the semester's ass!

So, here are a few things I've been working on. If you guys have noticed, I updated my pages, now giving an illustration portfolio page (unfinished heh...) and I'll be putting up a concept art portfolio page here real soon. I was looking through my progress steps on some of my work from last semester and realized I hated doing all the work but they came out great in the end.

Enough blabbering. Here!

Book cover illustration for Stardust. It wraps around the book so the face would be the cover, hair the back cover.

Here is a tee-shirt design I came up with. So far I'm pretty happy with it and could see a series coming of it.

And yes, those are the Threadless Tee shirt templates. They're all so dorky. Done with pen and ink, then scanned into Photoshop and tweaked! I think neither of them goes over 2 or 3 colors.

Now, a small update on my Jekyll and Hyde concept. I did a few more sketches to further experss some vulgarity in Hyde. My class had said, and I agree, that he was much too tame and didn't nearly read dangerous enough. So, here are some quick sketches and the composition I'm working on for a critical scene. I kind of made one up, where the detective is coming in looking for Jekyll who is trying to hide while Hyde is showing in the reflection.

 

This is still a WIP but I got pretty far in the few hours I worked on it. Most of the time was spent figuring out how to use the space.

So yea, thanks for lookin' and I'll hopefully have some personal stuff to add...some...time? Maybe? I don't know.
