fruits of finals

We just finished our winter quarter here at SCAD! These are my final projects for Concept Illustration and Visual Storytelling II. I wasn't able to achieve the level of finished/polish that I envisioned for these pieces, but they're digestible at least. I may go back and flesh out the backgrounds in my Vis II comic later though. It's the most fun story I've drawn so I really want it to look its best!

The Damned

Pages for a script developed by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt. This story's kind of serious, much unlike the silly, light-hearted kinds of comics I'm used to drawing... It also has a lot of cars. More cars than I've ever wanted to draw. Just. CARS

the puzzle box

Finals are over! REJOICE. Have a 3-page comic I did for my Advanced Inking class. I haven't drawn a comic in plain black-and-white since my first year at SCAD?? I've always used halftones in my work from then on to make up for the fact that I'm awful at spotting blacks, which might be apparent in these pages l': This was definitely a challenge.

the golden fortune cookie

I've really been neglecting this blog, whoops. But I'm back with a comic! The catch is that this is actually from back in March, so it's a bit old. It was my final assignment for Visual Storytelling I, the longest comic I've drawn to date at 10 pages. I'm reluctantly posting this here 5 months later because it was drawn within a tight schedule and suffers from a lot of rushed decision-making, yikes... I hope it's still an enjoyable read! I had a ton of fun brainstorming ideas for the story with my classmates! Thanks to my pals Brian, Rachel, and Russell for scheming with me hehe

"haha slapping ice so cool"

This was the final for my Creature Design course! I've been calling the animals on the first page beaverphants, which were made for a previous project in the class.

Last Pick

Here's a 3-page comic drawn by my pal Brian Prince and colored by me! I'm glad I got the chance to color these; planning colors for comics is something I'd like to get better at.

Brian is very tall and very cool if you don't know him. His comics are some of my favorites, so go check out his work! (:

hourly comics

I attempted drawing hourly comics on Saturday, but after 5PM I figured I'd be working on schoolwork into the wee hours of the night, so I just stopped there...

these are some poopy scans

More sketch word doodles wowzers

These are for "blunder."

My face changes in every panel I appear in l:

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.
