Summoning

Spirited Away Restaurant Concept

One of my better moments in Arch 2, hahaha....

Side Scrolling Concepts

Had an opportunity to design some side scrolling concepts for a class in the Spring.  Probably one of the most fun assignments I've had in a while; I decided to design a fast paced sidescrolling game in which players would need to either skillfully assassinate enemies or avoid them entirely, all while trying to reach the end of a level before a time limit is reached.

Sketch Spit

It's been a while and I'm currently waiting for a bunch of files of transfer and download, so I figured I'd take the time to dump some recent work.  Here are a couple spitpaints and some other sketches that I don't think I'll ever finish.

Sketches

Here's a compilation of sketches I did during Peter Han's Dynamic Sketching class.  Trying to get back to the basics and focus on improving my draftsmanship, and had a lot of fun doing so :D.

Alien Dwellings

Some alien dwellings for John Park's Form Language class.  Tried to push the design on these as much as possible, using a praying mantis as my form language inspiration.  The composition of the paintings are unfortunately kind of boring because I pretty much just painted an environment around a design, but hopefully the atmosphere at least comes across okay.

Coffee Break

Color temperatures practice.  Was also supposed to be a stroke economy exercise, but I screwed that part up pretty quick!

What Lurks Behind

Here's another personal piece I've been meaning to paint out for a long time now, and I used a contest on dA to finally force myself to finish it.  It's got a bit of personal meaning for me, but mainly I wanted to capture a sense of impending horror and dread.  I tried to keep the story of the scene somewhat ambiguous, with a few possible different interpretations: while I had a supernatural vibe in mind, I wanted people to sort of fill in the details of what exactly is going on.

Anyways, now that I've uploaded it, it looks super dark, so maybe expect a lighter version to be uploaded later.

Desiccated Flesh Vessel

Something gruesome.  Been meaning to do something like this for a while, finally got around to drawing it out for a contest on deviantArt, haha.

More Environment Studies

More environment studies I did recently for class again.  Tried to focus more on lighting with these, but I think I ended up getting too dark on some of them, which is a bad habit of mine.  Planning to fix some of these up into more completed pieces later on.

Environment Sketches

Taking an Environment Design class this summer, tons of fun!  Here are some black and white environments I did for homework.

February Sketches

Hey it's April!  When did that happen?  Here's some sketches I did way back in February.

January Sketches

It's almost the end of February, should have posted these up sooner, haha.  Here's a collection of sketches that I did in January for fun.

Sound Fighters REMIX Project (Street Fighter Redesign)

Something fun this time!  In our character class, we're tasked with redesigning characters from Street Fighter (or rather, to come up with characters that fit in with the movesets of already existing characters).  I chose to theme my redesign based off musical genres, for a hypothetical rhythm-game spinoff of Street Fighter.  Here's some sketches for now, full character designs to come in the coming weeks.
