Mignola Emulation

I did this for the third week of the emulation project in character design class.

I was waiting to post it until I had a chance to color it but I decided that wouldn't necessarily make it look better or more accurate to the style I'm trying to copy.

What do you think? How far off the mark am I?

Digital Painting/Character Design Final

 

This was my final for digital painting class which I also used as part of my final for character design class. I totally worked the system on this one. Go suck a donkey egg, system!!!

Also, this image is a concept piece for our senior film which is about the greatest hairdresser in the world.

Also, I'm sorry it's not very good.

Also, Tiffany, thanks for the encouragement to post more. And might I add: look who's talking!

Emulation

For character design class. We had to emulate different artists styles. The bottom one is in Rob Laro's style. Can you tell whose work the other two are supposed to be like?

Animals!

I have been doing animal designs for character design class these past two weeks. Here are some:

The Mayor of Candytown

I'm in Sam Nielson's digital painting class this semester. Here is the project I turned in most recently. I did it in Photoshop.

The original line-work was done by Sam.

Pluma Fantástica

I heart this pen!

Heroes & Villains

For this project in Ryan's character design class we had to turn in four drawings: Two heroes and two villains. One of each had to be stereotypical and the others, non-stereotypical.

Self Caricatures

For our fourth project in Ryan's character design class we had to character ourselves in a variety of different expressions. We had to include happy, sad, frightened, psycho, and confused. I also drew one without expression for a starting reference. Whadaya think?

Everyone in class referred to the last one as "the gay one." I was going for "confused." I guess "sexually confused" still  counts. Right?

Caricatures

 For our fourth project in character design we had to caricature celebrities. I went a little more obscure than Ryan wanted us to but I think most of the class recognized who I was drawing. Can you tell? If not, then I screwed up. I think I definitely could have done better on the first image here. I might post a revision sometime.

 

 

Second Project for Character Design Class

For this project we were to sketch clouds, trees, and rocks, for the purpose of learning the natural design flow found in nature. We were then supposed to take the natural design elements found in each of those things and incorporate them into two character designs of our own. I was looking at the curves of  bonsai trees and I kept visualizing serpents. So I drew a snake. With this drawing however, I failed to incorporate the elements of nature to the degree Ryan wanted to see them displayed in this project.
