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.
