Finals are Finally Over~

So it's been awhile since I last updated my blog, but I blame finals. My last final was Thursday, but I've been settling in back at home the past couple of days so I haven't really had time to update or do much art so far. But hey, that's what the rest of summer is for!

"Under the Mask of Rudat"

So this is my character, Rudat. I have not yet drawn him without his mask, but I figured it would fit with the theme. This image deals with the theme of masking one's feelings. Since Rudat wears a mask all the time, no one is able to see his face underneath the mask. It is common that people will wear a mask of happiness on the outside, while they are actually hurting on the inside. I decided to include pieces of his mask breaking away to show the tears underneath.

 

"No More Tears"

The boy on the left is JrTr, and the girl on the right is Clove. Since this is the last of the pieces in my series, it is a bit more uplifting than the rest. Although Clove is crying, JrTr is comforting her. This image depicts the message of never being alone. Friends are always there to comfort us in our hard times.

"Self Portrait Drawing Final"

My Final self portrait for my Drawing class. Some of the proportions are a bit off, but it's probably one of the best drawings I've done for my class.

"Expressive Color Self Portrait"

One of my finals for painting class with somewhat of a sad mood; it kind of ties together with my quick studies. I was mostly playing around with perspective and colors in this piece.

"Extreme Self Portrait"

One of my finals for painting class. I painted this with an effect that made my left eye much larger, as if looking through a fisheye lens.

"Personal Space Game"

"Personal Space - Game Over"

This is the game over screen to my Personal Space game.

"Brawl of the Gangs"

To watch the animation, click here.

This story takes place within a large city known as Neo Obelisque City. This is a city in which many gangs roam. Primarily there are two major gangs that run the different parts of the city: the Dusty Dimes and the Bleeding Libras. Within this animation, Yaro is the central figure. Yaro is the leader of the Bleeding Libras, and the man who is caught in the Dusty Dimes’ area. Lonny, the leader of the Dusty Dimes, sends his whole gang after Yaro to try and kill him. Yaro, being the strongest member of his gang, is able to fend off the Dusty Dimes until they almost take him out from behind. Luckily his partner, Dusk, comes to the rescue and saves him. The two of them then run from the Dusty Dimes’ area of the city, while being chased. In the end, they escape their turf and end up back in the Bleeding Libras’ area, behind the lot of cars.

"Hopping Through the Line"

This is a quick rotoscope study that I did of footage that I recorded of my family at a party.

"Pen and Ink Figure"

This is the last in-class drawing that I did for Drawing. Since pen/ink is my favorite traditional medium, I really enjoyed doing this. It's a shame I didn't have enough time to finish it though.

"Foreshortening"

This is one of my first times dealing with foreshortening.
