Art block dragons

When I have art block, I draw dragons. But this time I'm determined to actually get something done. Here's some progress shots with my phone (sorry for grainy, fuzzy, yellowish pictures).

Illustration: Product Packaging

Rough sketch of proposed design for Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe cake mix box for my illustration in the market class. We have to develop a character for a brand that has none and make a package featuring the character. Here's my rough sketch of a Marie Antoinette character for cake mix.

Ekatsu Final

Because I just realized I never actually posted the final version:

Illustrative Title Assignment

For my Illustration in the Market class. The assignment was to find an article and create an illustrated title that expresses what the article is about. (the article is about the high demand for sushi and fish products depleting the world's fishing resources because of mass overfishing) The title is the word "Sushi" made of sushi and "sustainable" written in soy sauce. I tried to show depletion by drawing some of the sushi as just scraps or bitten into, etc. And added chopsticks taking pieces away to illustrate the continuation of this problem.

It is done with watercolor with gouache paint for the rice, micron pen outlines and mechanical pencil for the drop shadows.

Finished: Winxie


Finished picture for my neopet, Winxie. She is a ghost Lupe, so this is my take on the "ghost" color. I was really lazy with the background. So, the stylized trees are "the disappearing forrest" a forrest that appears only at the stroke of midnight and at 12:01. You may only enter the forrest at this time. Time moves very slowly on the outside world while you are in the forrest. Winxie is the guardian of the forrest and will act as a guide to visitors.

WIP Ekatsu


Here is the progress I am making on my drawing of my neopet, Ekatsu. I had to redraw the body about 10 times because it just wasn't working for me. I'm happy with how it turned out now. Again, I don't have a clue what to do with the background....>_<

WIP Winxie


WIP sketch on Photoshop. Will be colored and have a background to be used on my neopet's petpage. (I got re-addicted to neopets) So this is my design of my ghost lupe, Winxie. I don't like the current one (Original ghost lupe painting) that I did back in December or January. So I'm going for something more realistic and a little more creative :) (I hope this isn't going to look too gory for neopets...)
