Character design numero dos~!
This character was based off of Little red riding hood. In like ahhh different kind of world..steam punk? idk haha

This character was pretty much made from a fantasy story idea i had for a while about little red riding hood and fable stories in one world. I have some of the story written out, but i havent really gotten into any detail of the character and such.

Still not too sure of the color, especially the eyes and hair, that was just kind of on the moment. Might change to like blue eyes to balance the colors. maybe the eyes can change like Kurapika when enraged!!! haha orz.

Concept art character design, gonna be starting on making some character designs. I have alot of designs in my moleskine sketchbook so i'll be basing the characters off of that, but choosing color and figureing out poses and such is hard and time consuming.

This was the very first character design i made in my moleskine that i liked, not too sure about the color...so if you have any opinion please let me know! :D

This character is a mailman who travels around the world (probably a fantasy world) delivering mail.
I am probably going to make couple environment paintings with this character in various environments focusing on color, lighting/shading.

Hahaha i cant paint hair...something i need to practice, looks like Saitama from OnePunch Man... at first i wanted to paint a bird getting fed by the angel, but that seemed kind of boring, so i changed it into a dragon looking at another dragon being created by the angel.

hmm there are some errors with the lighting, not sure, but the halo part was kind of interesting, i was thinking maybe that was fake halo attached to his head, maybe that could of been the reason why i made him bald.

but yeah this practice was a break for me from my animation work before i go crazy on sunday evening...

Well I guess this is a start, all from imagination and practice from previous paintings... i wanted to do something with robot and kid, they seem like a pretty common theme out there.

The idea of swings were like something from my childhood, maybe having the imaginary robot next to me as I swung there in the sunset..lol idk.

I took a picture of this in my classroom last night.
Why, because i saw the shadow and thought the lighting was very interesting, so i replaced my friends faces with an animal face.

I do like how this turned out.

this time I wanted to practice lighting through looking at examples of some of Dice's new digital paintings.
This is a view of the quad of University of Washington, when the cherry blossoms blooom!!
Used this for reference UW CherryBlossom
Time: 2hours

I chose to use Dice's painting of Monsters University concept art
Although the image i made doesn't have the right perspective as Dice's, i still think i was able to get a close render of the lighting


Will continue to practice.
