Speed Paint 1 hr

This is a piece I was sittin on or a long freaken time and finally just decided to paint it. Also submitted it to the Adobe competition. What do you all think, anything worth touchin up or just move on to the next lesson?

Hipsters

Just learned what a hipster is so decided to doodle some. Dunno if these are really hipsters, but according to a reliable source they just tend to be really effeminate guys. I'd never be able to pull jeans off like that, so I guess I'd just be physically impossible to be a hipster even if I wanted to be :|

Time off *sigh*

some sketches i fuddled around with. The blue stuff is from Art 1. Some of you may be familiar with this class, but for those that aren't. It's a time of relaxation and occascional tid bits of cool info. So I take the opportunity to just unwind and kick back and sketch a bit. There ain't too many occasions too these days, so it's nice. But when an occasion does arise and i forget my sketchbook post its come in real handy. The post it drawings aren't my favorite, but it was a fun time listenin to some indy rock live. Oh yeah. The music was performed by three bands, but one band inparticular had one of our fellow SHM alumns Debbie Bruce, who i personally do not know, but it was a good show, and a great way to get away from it all for one night.

Oh her band is Anchors for Architects cool stuff, not my usual, but somethin different is always good.

Oh and yes, that is one of our faithful leaders now here at SJSU David Chai telling all us art 1ners to do animation cause it is like being a God. YESSS!!!!

Tribe

Some ideas for a guy comin of age in a hypothetical city. He's tryin to summon the great beast to tow their city before the ice season comes. He wants to become a shaman. So those are some ideas of different elder shaman costumes. One of his trials is harvesting fish under water.

Ma-MA-MA-MAquettE!


An owl, a barn owl at that, course nobody knows it is. But we know it's a bird and i could possibly be an owl. So this is Larry the Kooky cousin owl that no one likes to talk about, possibly the one I relate to the most ;) I had a lot of fun doin this. And there will be more to come.

These are some ideas I did to try and get an internship at Hallmark. The idea was pretty much design the cutest thing you can think of. It was tough but i dug deep and pooed out some of the disgustingly cutest things i can think of. With a bit of help i came up with the juggling mouse on a unicycle, which the more i look at I think is just wierd, but I like it. The mouse with the flower and the slightly retarded look though still makes me smile :) those crazy mice.

some poo






here's some random stuff I've been sketching and havin some fun with. Whatcha all think?
