Gryffindor student


Painted digital in Corel Painter 11, in the Acrylic setting. After seeing the final Harry Potter movie, I felt happy that I saw a great movie and a great way to end the story. But I also felt a bit sad that there will be no more Harry Potter movies to go to. But I still felt the need to drawing something that relates to Harry Potter and I felt like trying a new style. In this Illustration I love Erte's illustrations and I wanted to give it a try. I played with the curves and lines in this character, trying to make her feel like she has movement, and using limited flat colors.

Woodkeeper

Painted in Acrylics. During this assignment, the task was to create a original character and have a story or description to go along with it. This creature is half tree and half man, he helps protect and serves Mother Earth like a knight. The bark on his hands and face are the armor and shield him. I have been told that this looks similar to the Lord of the Rings tree creatures, but believe it or not at the time given this assignment, I never seen any of the Lord of the Rings movie's. After watching the movie I do see why people see the resemblance, but I think my looks very different from the movies, at least my creatures story is my own.

Dread Pirate Lyss

This was painted in watercolors on watercolor paper. After watching the Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides, I got inspired to do some pirate illustrations. One of my friends help gave this girl a pirate name.

Wednesday Addams

This was done in Adobe Photoshop CS5. Lately I've been looking at the paper cut out design illustrations, and it always gets my attention. I like the way it pops out at you and you can do so much with the style. This was an experiment and my own project with illustrating with photoshop. I wanted to make this image look like a paper cut out style, and have the illustration be a simple design, something different from what I usually do.

Go With The Flow

 

This was painted digital in the Corel Painter 11, on the acrylic setting. This illustration has a story behind it. My friend and I love Tim Burton's movies and his characters, our favorite is Beetlejuice (then Jack Skeleton and Edward Sciccorhands). So as a surprise for my friend I went and drew ourselves in the cartoon version of the Beetlejuice animated series. To me this looks like it could be a cover to a comic. After this was done, my friend fell in love with the drawing, and as long as someone is happy when they look at my illustrations, then thats all I care about. 

Bulbasaur (Pokemon)


This was done in Corel Painter 11 in the digital watercolor setting. In this little illustration I wanted to play around with drawing something that had simple design and that would be something I would see in a children's book. Just a fun little project I did during my summer break.
