More Fanart

My nerdiness knows no bounds.

Here's some more drawings I did based on the comic at mspaintadventures.com

Digital Doodles

Here's two silly drawings I did for a doodle thread:

Old Fanart

This was a digital painting I did quite a while ago. It depicts my cousin's Phantasy Star Online character in his favorite level.


It's funny to me now, because it was the first of its type that I had done, and I really had no idea what I was doing.

For example, this is the actual working size of the canvas, so I couldn't really zoom in, and I did it all on one layer.

I'm glad I've since learned my lesson.

Fanart Funtimes

There's a webcomic site that a lot of my friends and I have been really into lately called mspaintadventures.

It's a long read, but really interesting, so if you need a way to pass some time I recommend it.

Anyway, been drawing some fan art of it with my friends. There's one character in particular that I really like, so I've done some digital art of him for the fun of it:

Some people may say fan art is a waste of time, but I think it's a great way to practice.

Old Projects

I was organizing some of my folders and found a bunch of older school projects. Might as well throw everything I can on here!

If you're a relative of mine reading this, you should definitely completely ignore the timestamp on this post:
This was a design for a class I took freshman year.

The phoenix above I drew with a marker and scanned, the rest I added on using my tablet.


Another random thing from freshman year.This one's from sophomore year. We were supposed to make a tattoo design in Adobe Illustrator. Mine was some kind of Aztec jaguar snake thing.



Another one from sophomore year. I had to illustrate a "Florida panther." It also had to be drawn in chalk pastel, which I am soooooo bad atttttt.

Various POKEMON Doodles

I... actually have a lot of doodles/sketches on my harddrive that I haven't posted. Hmm. I always keep forgetting to do it.

Looking through my doodle folder I noticed a lot of them were related to Pokemon, so, that is the theme of this doodle post!

I tend to draw my Pokemon a lot angrier looking than they are in the games or anime. If I was stuck in a ball all day and ordered around by a 10 year old, I'd be angry too.







The above is my imaginary team I'd have as a Gym Leader, consisting of ONLY CAT POKEMON. I'd give out the hairball badge.



That last one is Bowser, who very much is not a pokemon. He was saved in the same folder, though, so I figured why not upload him too. If Bowser WAS a Pokemon, he'd sure be on my team.

School Work

Here's a few things I did for my classes this year:

One of our Illustration projects was to draw someone famous. I drew Danny Elfman. For some reason it feels weird to me when you draw someone who is still alive.


The above is an acrylic painting for a different class. It doesn't really make any sense, I know. It was based off of a dream I had, and my dreams are always weird.
This last painting... well. It's a lion. Hopefully you could tell that.

Digital Practice

I need more practice drawing digitally. I'm still really shaky with my tablet.

Here are some random things I've done with it lately:

This was a drawing based on the theme "Smash Bros" for my friend's webcomic, but I totally had the wrong due date and kind of epically failed with it. Whoops.

This is a speedpaint of my cousin's Phantasy Star Online character as sort of a birthday card kind of thing:

Finally, here is a silly little comic based on Super Mario Galaxy 2. That game is hard, and after awhile you start to think the "GAME OVER" message is personally mocking you:
That's all! I've been busy with my summer job.

Jaguar Rex Version 2

Here's an update to the jaguar-based T-Rex head I had been coloring. I'm not sure if he needs a body or if he should just stay as a head.

Raptor Color Concepts

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I've had a rotten cold.

Here are some test color schemes for the raptor character I am designing for my Intro to Video Game Production class.

The various feather patterns and skin patterns are based off of animal indigenous to Mesoamerica.

Dinosaur Coloring Practice for Class

Just a few practice drawings in photoshop, trying to figure out color schemes for our Dinosaur game in class.

First one was pink/purple for some reason:


This next one was an attempt to translate the color scheme of a jaguar to a tyrannosaurus rex. I was inspired by photos I took at the zoo this last weekend.

Concept Art assignment for "Introduction to Video Game Production" Class

One of my classes this semester is an elective entitled, "Introduction To Video Game Production." In this class we are learning about creating the art assets that would be used in the creation of a modern video game. This includes the concept art, 3D modeling, texturing, and environmental design... if we have time for it.

Our class was split into groups, each of which had to come up with a concept for a game. The group was then responsible for creating the art assets for its imaginary production.

The group that I landed up being in quickly decided upon a theme of "dinosaurs," since we are all closet dino nerds at heart. It's hard to find a subject that's cooler than dinosaurs, anyway.

Right now we are just beginning to create the concept art. We decided on the main types of dinosaurs that would appear in our game, but not much else. I'm going to be spending all night doodling dinosaur character concepts with my tablet, and I will upload them to this post as I finish them.

I must say this is one hell of a fun homework assignment.

"Jerseysaurus," A Jersey Shore Parody for Class

To start off, here's something I did last week for my Illustration II class:


Our assignment was to make a black and white editorial illustration to accompany a newspaper article. The article we were assigned was about MTV's reality show, "Jersey Shore." The article compared the show's appeal as being similar to scientists spying on strange and primitive creatures, which is what I based my illustration on.

Part of our homework was watching the show as "research." Having never seen it before, it was quite the painful experience.

I drew this using my Wacom tablet in photoshop.
