3D Art - Three Purpose Pack




Done for as a final project for 3D Design back in Winter quarter 2009, and is one that I'm extremely proud of. Simply called the Three Purpose Pack, the theme of the project was if someone was shipwrecked on an island and only had some materials washed up with him or her, would would they create? In answering the question, I came up with a survival carry-all in which has three main purposes--as a fish net, a tent, and a storage container for food. And it's entirely made from garbage bags, duct tape, wire, cardboard, PVC pipes, and yawn thread. This project took me many hours to complete, but I did it.

Character Design - Ninja and Samurai



Part of a project for Character Design and Storyboarding for Animation in which we had to design characters according to our chosen franchise. What's more, we had to draw in the franchise's style. For my franchise, I chose Avatar the Last Airbender, and I designed characters for my choice character type, the ninja and the samurai respectfully. I had fun on this assignment as I did the storyboards as part two for our project.

3D Art - Ferret Carrier Bag



Done as a project for 3D Design for Winter Quarter 2009. For the project, we had to design an item that can be worn by the individual. Since bags also fit into that category, I designed a Pet Carrier bag specifically for ferrets. To briefly describe it, it has two side pouches for storing food and water, another pouch on the other side for the ferret's leash, and inside the bag, a short leash for the ferret's harness so he/she can't escape.

2009 - Kingdom Hearts Keyblade

Well, technically, the keyblade itself was completed in June-July of 2008, but I didn't get around to posting pictures until 2009. Anyway, I created a papier mache Kingdom Hearts keyblade for my Sora costume at the SDCC that year. Eventually, I will have better photos of the keyblade, especially since I plan to make some necessary improvements--including a new keychain. I also plan to make another keyblade, either one from the game or my own design.



2009 - Tablet Sketches


Originally posted in February 2009, even though all the sketches were done in January. Anyway, I was testing my newer, smaller tablet at the time for my laptop and wanted to doodle on it on a regular basis. Unfortunately, due to the mass amounts of school I had, I had to put everything aside for my assignments. As for the sketches themselves: my fursona Rayne with new hair style I considered, two concepts of my human character Brian, Kyna (the Vaarg Goddess in my The Guardians story, and finally a speedpaint and sketch I wanted to do as an illustration in the future.

2007 - The Guardians Character Concepts

Another set of concepts originally posted in November 2007. Mostly characters that will be appearing in my novel The Guardians.



First up--Lonkarr, second-in-command of the Vogrove Mountain tribe (the brown Vaarg on the left), and his mate Melia (the magenta on the bottom right) and his son Tyee (in the middle). As a quick note, these colors are subjected to change, particularly Melia's.


Second batch: Nelli (the oragnish pink Vaarg), the cousin of Raiden and Ejnar (see my DA page to know who they are); Tzadok, (blue and green Vaarg), the father of Raiden; and Adeola (violet-blue Vaarg), the mother of Derwynn.


Third batch: in color form, Nakei (the yellow-orange Vaarg), Nelli's mother, and her older sister Aneko (yellow-ish green Vaarg), Raiden's mother; and in sketch form, Melia concept, a couple of Tzadok sketches, and Nakei's other concept.

Lastly in the four batch: Bahiti, a young Vaarg in one of the Vaarg tribes. I can't tell you much about this character yet, but here's a hint--one of my characters is related to her.

2007 - Vritra Sketches


Another set of sketches back in 2007. This time it's of my principle antagonist from my WIP novel The Guardians, and one of my favorite characters to work with in exploration of his general character and design overall.

In the top sketches are concepts when I was redesigning him (and still am to this day as I am with my Vaarg creatures). The middle sketches were of a mini-storyboard idea I had for months in which I hope to animate someday. The last set was just me having fun with a lazy Vritra. After all, he's the biggest bad guy and nothing is going to mess with him. In my old blog I mentioned that I liked one of the sketches so much, I redrew it on a larger scale, which you can find on my deviantart page.

Originally posted on October 2007, these are my concept art sketches of the four characters that will be appearing in my novel The Guardians.

Marker Art - Supergirl


A marker rendering I did of Supergirl for Materials and Techniques and one of my best works in the class. By far, markers have been one of my favorite mediums to work with and I plan to do more in the near future.

New art and writing blog

After giving it some thought, I've decided to go ahead and open a new art and writing blog. My previous blog will now be closed and I plan to update this one more frequently than the other. Though that depends my school schedule and if I have enough free time. But rest assure, watch out for more updates in the future as well as some of my art from my previous blog.

Take care!
