Tower AI vignette

One of the ship AI at the top of the tower jumping/drifting towards the hologram fountain.

Elizabeth Gilbert on creativity

Neat video, deals a lot about the insecurities of artists.

Control Tower

This is where the four mystical beings control the ship. A star map appears in the middle as a hologram over the water.

EDIT: Just got an idea about figures dancing, like in 300 with the prophet, to control the hologram and the ship. They appear out of the columns, basically ship AI.

Control tower sketches

Color in progress

Spaceship Deck

The ship is actually more like a boat, the image shows it when it has landed on water and thats why the horizon appears as if you were ground level. Later, i'll update on development of the ship concept.

Tablet portraits

Drawing from Tablet - In class

I think I'm getting faster at observing values, and painting. First image is 1min gesture drawings to loosen up, then longer 20 min drawings, last one is 40 min. I realize I left out the face in all of them, thats weird...

Tablet hmwk - feet

Landscape for thesis - City of Shaerbarah

I changed the composition a bit, and I changed the atmosphere a lot. I like it better this way. They're almost two entirely different pieces.

It's just a bw sketch, I'll color it tomorrow, got to go sleep since class is 8:30 in the morning and my drive almost an hour.

1 minute Gestures

Longer stills 30-40min

Tablet stuff

Learning how to get used to blending. It's funny because I'm doing an oil painting at the same time while I was working on this so I'm gaining painting experience double time. It's my dad on his iPod touch, he's always on it every night.

Self portrait

This is a simple self-portrait assignment for my Drawing from Tablet class. We're starting out with only using circle solid brushes with pressure sensitivity.

Words On Wheels

I made so many versions of this piece, I ended up submitting this one. It's actually very different from my initial sketch. There's empty space on the left for text.

Concept Art

I've taken two concept art classes at MICA, Concept Art with Aaron Yamada, and Adv. Concept Art with Sean Murray. I really enjoyed finding shapes and forms in the design process, and also developing concepts as a part of world-building.

I also looked at Dermot Power's work during the latter of the two classes, that's why I began using opaque brushes. Before I had a problem with my edges looking digitally murky, so I tried being more confident with my strokes. I still need to focus on details and what the surfaces are made of.

The rest are work done in Aaron's class. The work below uses transparent brushes in the beginning process. I think I'm getting closer to getting a balance of both methods. I also need to work on colors, because they seem washed out.
