Perfect Attendance

All fourteen of my illustra-doodles for the Illustration project. These are irrationally fun to make.
 
 

(For the last time, he isn't a robot. Not even a little bit.)
 
(This guy has a squid for a hat. Fashionable.)
 
(Kids, smoking isn't cool.)

Drew Tiny Little Pictures of Skeletons

Actually, no, I didn't. But someone did. Probably they did. Maybe just sang about it.
  
I went to London this Spring Break. I have nothing witty or sarcastic to say about it. I think I've always wanted to get out of wherever I was. Though I'd been across the country and into parts of the Caribbean, I've always travelled with family. London was the first time without that context. It's good to know, definitively, that the world really is much bigger than my small circles.
 
Really, I look at what I draw, why I've drawn, and it's always about the same thing: gaining insight into a wonderful kinds of places I've never been, or in some cases, can never go.
 
I think, if I'm able, I'll make it a point to travel all over when I'm older. And I'll try to keep records wherever I go.
 
There was going to be a picture with this post; it won't load. So the opening quote won't make any sense, really. Don't know that I care.

Water World



Water World was a movie about a world filled with water. It was also filled with Kevin Costner, whose magnanimity has secured for our illustration class the chance to maybe design a logo for his new production company. Maybe. It's called Treehouse Films.  These are my entries, probably.

Legion, Manifest(o)

Illustration this semester is all about preparing for 'The Show,' an industry term for professional practice we never, ever use. Somewhere between us and the bittersweet reality of actual, productive human society is an awful lot of self-promotion. 
 
In the spirit of getting we've never met to like us, we're essentially building a masterwork project that shows off our accrued skills in a portable and appreciable manner. I decided to create a series of postcards. The source material is all from Archetype, but I'm presenting it in a way that (hopefully) makes sense to the creative sectors of gaming and movies.
 
The following are all color studies at varying levels of refinement.










Aside: If you can read this, it means this loaded. If it loaded, like, forty angels are now aerial.

Narcissist.

The best thing about self portraits is that the model's patience is always equivalent to that of the artist's. Someday, I will learn to draw myself from life without that concentrating pseudo-scowl. And on that day, free delicious cake. For everyone.

ERZ Aermas

I lied about no more people standing around. I'm pretty sure I was just supposed to be pencilling this weekend, but this sketch got way out of hand...
