Subject: Year of the Lion
So we had to do a DRAMATIQUE piece for our Drawing for Animators (aka illustration for CA) class and I wanted to do a lion dance.


Wasn't nearly as red as when I originally painted it. I hate how monitors always screw with my colors and saturation!

Detailed close-ups for the face/fur. And yes, I did paint all of the strands. It was super tedious but I enjoyed every moment:





The compositional thumbs:

Hahaha messy scribbles are messy

I've always loved seeing lion dances during New Years celebration but always found it a bit confusing whenever I saw the people performing them. It's supposed to be a celebration and yet half the time the people under the costume always look so serious or pissed off. BE HAPPY PEOPLE. :D Joyous occasions are supposed to be JOYOUS.

My one min project for concept:


It takes a while to load, so just let it sit for a bit. :3

I'm still not too fond of the final design. I dunno... I'm just not a huge fan of caricatures. It took A LOT of restraint to keep myself from doing a portrait of myself.... *sigh* will I ever get this right? :/

Also the patterns on my shirt were a pain to paint. I actually sat there with that exact shirt hanging in front of me as I attempted to copy the design. XD;;; It was tedious but strangely enjoyable.

Subject: Witness
We were given 45 sec to make a concept animatic about a character witnessing something. I apologize for the really poopy compression. A lot of my colors were lost during the compiling so here are some stills to see what the difference. XD

Click for LARGE images:










These were done for my "Drawing for Animators" class (aka DFA). I had a really difficult time with these because my regular drawing style doesn't look like this. :/ Pulling designs out of silhouettes/textures has got to be one of the most painful things I've ever had to force myself to do... but I'm still going strong! (sort of....)
