pretty things? also jeans.

so, following a tried and true tradition, i'm going to post about a million things here in the first couple of days/weeks, and then forget it exists. here are some pictures i made.

the first one is for Digital Illustration. the idea here was to make a character lineup of a lot of the characters who appear in my work. i was originally going to do all of them, then decided i was insane, and now i have these five. maybe there will be more in the future. i'd like to eventually get most of them done, but who knows. they're pencil drawings scanned and colored in Photoshop. the background texture is yanked from CGtextures.com, which is probably one of the most useful sites i've ever encountered.

the second is another character portrait image. it's Trevor again, from the first image. he and James seem to be the guys who pop up in my artwork the most over the past oh...year and a half. James really consumed the entirety of my work this semester and i'd say Trevor got a lot of it for the past two semesters. a lot of the work i did this semester for digital ended up being kind of lame because i was doing independent study and didn't have enough time to do anything really complex. again this is just a pencil drawing scanned in and painted in Photoshop, with more CGtextures.com magic.

and finally, my Illustration: Tools of the Trade final. it's an image about artist's block, and it's James (again.) i like to draw gooey inside bits. graphite and colored pencil.

OKAY guys! finals are OVER, now all i have to look forward to is WORKING A LOT over break. i bought a new pair of jeans last night at the new True Religion store in the Mall, but more on that later.
