Wish Upon A Firefly

This is a children’s book I did two (?) quarters ago for a class on… Children’s Storybooks. I actually uh… got a bad grade in this class lol. But I forgot to do some some pre-work and my actual physical book kinda sucked because I couldn’t put it together right for the life of me. ;_; So yeah, wasn’t so surprised. I had fun writing and drawing it, though. But I don’t know if I’d enjoy doing more children’s books.

Anyway, here! is a PDF of the book. I don’t know why the cover isn’t in there, but it’s up there at the top of this post so whatever. Also, the actual printed book had the text on the opposite pages, not on the images. That’s just how the format was supposed to be, but I actually like the text better on the images.

Covers

Here are the rest of the covers I did for my Cover Illustration class.

the tag is still whitey and pals

School’s over! Like, for good. This was my last quarter, so I was busy with my senior project. I also took a cover illustration class, that’s what the above is from. I’ll post the other covers I did after this, this post is for my senior project work, I just included the above cover because it’s from the same story idea. The title might not stick, I just needed to put something there.

For senior project, what I did weren’t comic pages, but concept art. I didn’t do as much as I would have liked, but I probably could have if I hadn’t taken cover illustration–but I really wanted to! I really love making covers. Anyway, onto the concept art: I did character concepts and concept scenes. The former are all polished and colored, the latter are sketches.

Payback’s A Broom

This eight page story was for my Visual Storytelling II class. I chose to do the “conclusion” to Tokitoki and Madero’s story. We didn’t have to ink all eight pages, but I still did because I wanted extra credit. We also made covers for our stories so yaaaay.

Cover isn’t resized because I forgot and I’m not opening photoshop SUE ME.

mooom i’m busy hacking

Just some stuff from last quarter. All of the following are from Fantasy Illustration unless I state otherwise…

GATO

Something a little older. This was my Visual Storytelling I final, I just never remembered to put it up lol. The project was to be drawn in a different style than your own. The concept was being awoken at night to find something or someone of our choice making noise and etc etc.

Edit: I should note, that a requirement for this project was overlapping panels. I don’t really like doing it much… but yeah, that’s why there’s so many of them.

Naharin: The Chair Epic

Fantasy Illustration project dos. Battle scene–my prop was “chair.”

I somehow unconsciously made the two being chased look like Kihara and Vin. Obviously this is an alternate universe where Vin never lost his eye and they live in a sci-fi world that runs on chairs.

The only thing I don’t like about this is the fire coming out of the soldiers’ chairs, but it was like 6AM when I did it and at that point I didn’t care anymore.

GAS PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS. SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS.

First project in my Fantasy Illustration class. The concept was literally “gas station of the future,” but we were allowed to just go crazy. Thus the super villain gas station was born.

Next project is a battle scene. We were given the weapon of choice for it. I got… chair. This will be interesting.

sup

Been a while since I posted some original art. I actually haven’t drawn much over the summer, as I’ve been having neck problems and it makes my arm hurt. ;_; Also, my computer fan stopped spinning, so using photoshop is a mission sometimes sob. Anyway yeah some more art:
