Creature Designs


Here are a few little silhouette/sketch designs I have for creatures. I wanted to design some sort of pack or transport animal.

Creating a World


Hmm... I seem to be moving on from sketchbook drawings to photoshop doodles, and I am slowly but happily learning how to create and design worlds. This here is a sketch in progress still in the early stages. I am beginning to sketch in an ancient-looking city carved into the cliffs which I think looks very cool.

Town Square


This is a concept piece with a mixture of old and new. At first I wanted it to be an 18th century town square, but then decided "to heck with it" and added some spaceships. :)

New Character Design!


I am amazed how much time has gone past since my last post! Here's hoping the wait was worth it.

I've been busy learning new things at my digital concept class (of which I have mentioned many times before). My character design is based on a French revolution-esque setting, hence her outfit and weapons. I'm happy with her look, but I think her costume design needs some work. Can't wait to show more!

Revolution: Character Designs


I am really excited to show some concept ideas for my digital art class! I've been exploring with some character design and it's the most interesting project yet. I haven't nailed down a particular character I'd like to do, so I created several different characters as I went along. All I know is I want to do a cross between the French revolution and intergalactic wars in the future. :)

So far the designs are leaning towards historic fashion, so I'm working on some more space-y ones too!

Sketchbook Scribbling


Found these in my sketchbooks a while back. These were done with felt tip pens.

First Assignment!


I've just started my concept art class last week, and I'm currently working on a background still from King Kong in Photoshop. Our project is to choose a screen capture and paint it on a separate canvas without tracing. The first one was black and white, and this one in colour. I'm actually enjoying background art a lot, and learning so much!

Character Sketching


Well, it's been a little over a week... my bad! So I put together two sketches this time! These characters are not anything specific, just random ideas from my imagination. :)

Unusual Costumes


Next week I'm starting a concept art course to brush up and learn some new skills, so I'm practicing a bit with costumes! This is a random little sketch mixing both rococo and samurai clothing together. Not very exaggerated... more whimsical but I like it!
