BG's

For Visual Development, our project is to take an existing story, and just retell it - your version, your characters, your world. I have always loved the story "The Journey to the West" since I saw it as a little kid. I remember watching the old Chinese movies dubbed in Vietnamese of this story, and with this opportunity, I decided to go with the version I know and love, because while some people are familiar with the story, most aren't with the long movie version of it.

I'm still working on the character designs and don't have those scanned, but here is one background/landscape I'm working on for my story. I'm planning on either digitally painting or hand painting a version of it. Maybe both.

Quinetta

Okay this is a quick and dirty posting of my character because I haven't updated in a long time, and don't have the time to clean them up perfectly right now. Her name is Quinetta, and she is a black teenager in space land. Enjoy!

Art Show

Well the show was pretty fun, and a pretty good turn out of people too!















This is an overlook of part of the show. The room was small, but it was cool.















Draper in his little Miami Vice outfit.















My airbrush pieces.















My other paintings.















Yusuke and Me!




















This was my little 80s outfit. Gotta love the FOB pose I'm doin here.

Art Show!

Whoo hoo! Okay, so super busy trying to get things ready in time for the art show on October 2nd. I've decided to put in my 3 main airbrush pieces, see if I can sell them. What's special about them now is that they are newly stretched over these 4 wooden pieces of wood. If you look at them, they look like canvases. They look amazing!! You gotta see it in person to really appreciate it. Shout out to my dog Chris for the great idea!








































These pieces are my "cardboard paintings." I painted them with gouche inked them. They were a lot of fun to do. The reason they are little "gangsta" pieces is because the theme for the show is "80s Inspired." I don't really remember the 80s, but what I do know is bright colors!

Lolo!

Here is my Lolo character I did recently, inked in Illustrator.

In The Woods

Did this quick little background and color rough for the SIGGRAPH creation project. It's based off a story about a young man who has these special powers, and he can also control these two phoenix birds. Its a little strange, but I still like it regardless.















And these are some expressions I did for the girl.





















Hopefully I can find more time in the future and develop more for the story.

The Supremes

These are The Supremes I made for my special topics class for a group project. We will be making a music video to the song "You Can't Hurry Love."
