Junior year is half way over.... oh man I am so not read for Pre-pro... T____T Another semester before I have to do my senior thesis. AHHAJSD;FSDLKFFF!!!

Anyways, this is my second DFA assignment: "Midnight Eve". There's going to be a second painting that goes along with this one. :D Hopefully a possible thesis idea?

Yea... I'm not a huge fan of doing environment paintings.... but I suppose it was intersting. XD; The colors and saturation keep changing on each monitor.... again. -___-

mostly mixed media. Like ballpoint pen and some random watercolor or colored pencils. :D just really really random stuff from sometime earlier this year (as in like soph year)?

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.
