Zelda Scratchboard

For Ill Media our assignment was to use scratchboard to show an object, and i did zeldaaaaaa

The Tell Tale Heart

Here's an illustration I did for class for Edgar Allen Poe's Tell Tale Heart, done with black and white pencil on a piece of 30% gray paper, below is some of the process work I did, including thumbnails and value studies.  I like the texturing I managed to get with the wood, it's definitely my normal type of illustration I do but it was definitely an interesting project.

"Masquerade Project" Frost Giant

My first Illustration I project.  The project was called "masquerade" but he basically let us do anything with 2 or more characters since he wanted to just get to know our art style and what we like to do.  Below are the thumbnails/sketches that I did.  Who knows I might go into this again in photoshop and do a color piece.

Fish Ink Piece

Well, it's good to back at Ringling!  This was my first project for Illustration media, a class where we experiment with different kinds of media.  This project our assignment was to make a drawing of any kind of fish with pen and ink.

Character Concept (edit: now redesigned)

So here's another LoL concept, here one of my own.  I've been having a lot of trouble with my completely original ideas, so I've been looking a lot at different techniques.  First thing I did was watch a lot of the art spotlights from Riot (so sad they stopped doing those T.T ) since I figured it would be my ideal place to get a job.  From there I came up with a champ concept both for art and actually gameplay!  For those LoL players that wanna check it out, just look below. 

The Piltover Thief (AD Assassin)

if caitlyn and vi are on the enemy team, champion loses 1 health

katarina interactions (sister)

skin - noxian thief

passive: when having a gun champion does more dmg the higher health the enemey is, dagger does more dmg the lower the enemy is

q - empowered next auto attack (both forms)

w - switch offhand weapon (can be cast while disabled)

passive: grapling gun - ranged auto attacks (defensive stats? lower ad?)

passive: second dagger - gains bonus ad/armor pen

e - gun: fires grapling gun pulling towards enemy minion or champion

  - dagger: does aoe damage around champion, does more damage the less targets it hits

r - throws a smoke bomb in an area, briefly blinding and silencing targets inside while increasing movement speed dramatically

League of Legends, Piltover, Caitlyn, Vi, Katarina all belong to Riot Games, this piece and this character belongs to me

History of Illustration Final

So for HOI I chose to draw two posters based on the styles of two artists that we learned about that did advertising.  And I decided on:

A D&G ad with the style of JC Leyendecker

And a Cirque du Soleis poster in the style of a Cheret piece.
