SCHOOL AND STUFF

 HEY. HELLO. I have not updated in forever and that is because school is insanely busy and never lets up. It's a really demanding program, Game Development, but I honestly am learning so much and I am kind of enjoying it. Here are some of the things I've done and am actually proud of.

Redesigns of Ivanhoe, most notable is that Ivanhoe is a woman now, trying to play on masculine and feminine ideals.

Storyboard from characters from above

Alien character concept

Peach redesign

Peter Pan Game

We had to make a simple avoidance game in my interactive prototyping class, so I decided to do a Peter Pan themed one with influence from Mary Blair and her concept work that she did for Disney.

Animated Obstacles

Level Designs

Peter Pan walk cycle

One of my better attempts at animation and hopefully my last.

Developing my skills to develop games

 So Georgebrown College is starting off really smoothly, I'm doing pretty nicely in my courses and overall I'm learning a whole lot. The one class that I really enjoy is (obviously) 2D art and it's basically life drawing and drawing everythiiiing.

The one dumb thing about it is that the life drawing sessions have the tables in rows instead of surrounding the model, so if you're not in the very front, you need to change position a lot to see the whole figure which is a little frustrating but c'est la vie.

All 2 minute gesture drawings

Another 2 minute, I knew right when he stepped on a keyboard at the beginning of this pose that I needed it to have its own page.

Just a comparison of the first session of life drawing, where I was unprepared and only had my fine liner and had to make do with my blue pencil too. The lady was the first session and the man was the second, I already see tones of improvement (at least in the faces) and it's really encouraging me. 

10 min

15 and 25 min

20  and 25 min

The top two poses were nude but we had to add our costume designs on top for the models. The lady's uniform stayed true because I had to hand it in earlier and didn't have reference for the male's costume.

Mogul and Beta looking fierce

 These two sketches are concepts for two characters, Mogul and Beta, just some early work.

My first class in my Interactive Design Class.

This program costs $7000/

Old Art, old as baaalls.

This is stuff I finally got around to photograph and it should have been done a long time ago. Gotta work on that timing!

caricature

Made by ripping up pieces of paper, such a fricken tedious task.

Oh hey look a bunch of me.

Watercolour, about the first time it didn't look terrible.

I really liked this life drawing pose, marker and conte.

Painting done in class.

My Pièce de résistance

A little series I made for one of my classes, I really enjoyed how this turned out. 

Mixed Media, digital, spray paint, collage, acrylic. 

Concepts

Just felt like doing more of a study of Dragon Age Origins and my hero of Fereldan, Maberena Surana, circle mage. 

Sansan comic part 2

Finished the next 3 pages.

Hound

Game of Thrones continues to be an inspiration to me, so naturally if I watch anything, I relate it back to Game of Thrones. Thus this monstrosity of crossovers was created, Shrek and Game of Thrones. 

WIP to final work.

Getting really obsessed with Game of Thrones so I pay a homage to it with a Sandor Clegane (Hound) and Sansa Stark digital painting.

Gesture

Fleshing out faces

Sword no longer stabbing Sansa

All grunt work done, now onto the trees

HAHA NO LETS JUST LEAVE IT AS THIS

Sketchbook sketches that seem pretty sketchy.

Sketches in class.

Friends from Sheridan, obviously not posing for me.

As seen in Timmies.

Creeping in on some class mates and pals, such hard workers.

Playing with room design, well lookie here, Toulouse and Greg paid us a visit.

Got angry and went for a bike ride, decided to draw.

Turns out rage drawing is way more fun then crying in your room . This is news to me.

Some good ol' Character designs

I've realized my blog is pretty dry, so I'm sprucing it up with a bunch of my character designs I've done. While these aren't all my characters that I've created ever, they are my favorite designs.

Going from the earliest to latest.

My first, pride and joy.

Latest addition.
