senior project progress

Finally down to my last quarter of school!! For my senior project I wanted to do something based on my heritage since I'm not actually very knowledgable about it, so I'm developing art for a story set in a Korean village! I'm really excited for it 'v'

The protagonist is the timid young daughter of a guardian that tends to a garden of flowers, where each flower represents a villager's soul. When the guardian and garden are infected by a fungus, it's up to the daughter to restore purity to her mother and the flowers. I took the idea for the garden from Igong from Korean mythology and tried to write my own story around it to give it some depth. So far I've drawn turnarounds and expressions/actions sheets for the most important characters.

Preliminary sketches of the protagonist (who was projected to be MUCH younger initially) and the guardian. I named the little girl Seung-hwa/승화... I'm not familiar with the aesthetics of Korean names, I just looked up two meaningful characters formed a name with them?? I hope it doesn't sound weird

 

Final designs for Seung-hwa, the guardian, and the infected guardian. If you notice some differences in design between the turnarounds and expressions/actions sheets, it's because I applied some suggestions I received from critique.

More character designs for school.

And second pass

i wish i still owned the prince of egypt

I created a story set in ancient Egypt with a fantastical spin on it for my concept illustration class. Basically Anubis abandons his responsibilities as a god and turns into a human, goes on human adventures while Osiris tries to bring back Anubis to his underworldly duties, and Anubis gets with a pretty snake charmer who secretly plots to replace and abuse Anubis' position as a god. did you get all that

props

I made up a story about two opposing graffiti gangs in the sort-of future and designed some props for them.

Have you ever heard of strength shoes? They look kind of ridiculous.

S-U-G-A-R, jump into your racing car

I finally saw Wreck-It-Ralph on Friday! It really feels like I'm the last person on the planet to have seen the film because practically everyone I know has watched it already... multiple times. weeps
I loved it! There was a lot more depth to the story than I anticipated. My only gripe about the movie is that some of the dialogue could've been left out. It was kind of hard to sit through at times just because of how unnatural it felt? I mean hey let's get back to looking at pichurs

I saw several artists on tumblr draw themselves as Sugar Rush characters and I wanted to do it too 'v' I had a blast with this!

Don't get left in her cinnamon dust :U

sketches

A small sample of sketches from my sketchbook. Only sharing the ones I like because I dO wHaT i wAnT

Every week or so my professor issues a sketch word, which is a random word we theme our sketchbook drawings around. We've had words like "stick," "sleep," and "rebel" so far. "Stick" has been my favorite since you can take it in a lot of different directions, though "sleep" is a good one too!

oh weeaboos

it's time

--to get active on blogger and post art on here. Here's some schoolwork I've done in Spring 2012!

Book from Firefly for a character design assignment

This is a villain I designed that belongs in the above comic's universe. He's not the head villain, but rather the head villain's right-hand henchman.

These next two pages were actually drawn in 2011, but I like them a lot so I'm keeping them here. l: There isn't meant to be any dialogue.
