Paloma

Paloma

I will attempt to take you through my entire semester of Character Creation. My first assignment was to make "the most awesome character like ever." This statement was just wittle bit overwhelming, so I decided to do something simple. I based Paloma on the traditional Mexican paintings like the one below by Diego Rivera.

Cindersoot

This piece is meant to accompany a writing assignment I did for my Picture and Word class, where I had to retell a fairytale and then illustrate a particular scene. I made Cinderella into a chimney sweep, who by matters of circumstance ends up on a rooftop with the Crown Prince, both very happy, but covered in soot.

Long Live Steampunk

Finally, after a long, long interlude I'm updating my blog. Somehow doing my homework always won out. But before I go off on a long ramble about finals, and how good it is that they are over, I thought I'd actually keep my word a put up the piece I did for Steampunk Magazine over the summer. I was afraid I was in a little over my head (particularly in ways of machinery), but it all turned out well without discomposing myself entirely.

Clockwork

This black and white piece was done for Modofly, a community of artists who produce moleskin sketchbooks. If this picture is used it will be etched onto a cover just as it looks. There were two themes for this round of image making: Steampunk and Femme. For some reason all my none personal work this summer has had a steampunk theme running through it. I'm currently finishing up a cover for Steampunk Magazine which will be up soon!
