Girl Close-up

I started (today) trying out CG painting once again. Practicing on my recent studies. It wasn't supposed to... but she ended up looking like Morrigan from Darkstalkers. More soon.

Flash Monsta Quick

A little slow at the internship today... whipped this up on flash.

(I've been away playing the can't-believe-i'm-addicted game of pokemon pearl...)

'Nother Set of Nudies...

I'm still deciding of how to color them. I started to sketch and think about the clothes. Here are 5 more... (there's way more but here are some of my faves)

NOTE: The first image on the prior post is slighly updated...

Back again... What?!

Wow, almost three months of no blogging. (EDIT: first image is updated)

My job and internship takes up most of my time and energy, so I can't really put these out consistenly. But, I've been working on my "pet project" on and off. Mostly drawing nude figures of different body types, writing character profiles, premise, etc. Here's a "small" glimpse.

The scans are kinda crappy after I cropped them together. But, they'd look cool once inked and colored. I'm still trying to figure out of what coloring style I should do them in. I've done the sloppy painting, vector coloring, illustrator+photoshop, markers, etc... SO, I dunno how I'm gonna do these.

Meh... a bunch of comps...

Did this today in my internship... Still working on a "pet" project. I'll post them in a few days.

Post-Its... Post-its... Post-its...

A quickie... I've got something AWESOME cooking up. Check back soon. Lols.

Mega Ted in Flash

Just practicing in Flash again... I wanted to see how I would fare in coloring and inking. I thought this came out pretty cool. I liked how I could easily separate the colors by creating a line on top of it. And I could easliy remove that line at will.

Post-It sketches...

Practicing cartoony -stylized- caricatures... Varying in facial structures. I don't like it if its TOO cartoony, or if its TOO realistic. I like it in-between. It's sweet.

Face Sketch on Flash

Yeys, yeys, and more YEYS!!!

I know this is sad... but, 1,000+ page views!!! Done in FLASH. Not really my style (not me)... but its practice.

PR3 ULRIKE EXTRAVAGANZA !!!

Last night was the big Season Finale of Project Runway 3...

HIGH-RESOLUTION PIC

Uli Herzner is awesome. I was really hoping for her to win. I wasn't a big fan of hers in the beginning, but she grew on me. She's a great designer with an amazing eye for prints and colors. Very inspiring. She was consistent throught the show and most importantly, she got herself into the Final Four solely based on her talent. Some of the finalists, I felt, only made it as far as they did, cuz they supplied the show with soundbites and manufactured drama. She got robbed.

Jeffrey Sebelia won. I was actually rooting for him in the beginning when the cast was revealed. I like his Cosa Nostra work. I love deconstructed clothes (i.e. Jay McCarroll), but his work always looked poorly constructed. He was such a jerk; whining and bitching all the time, causing unnecessary drama... blegh. He was only nice when it's convenient. And the construction quality of his final collection was suspiciously inconsistent. But whatever, he got tons of airtime because of stupid shit, got the "Asshole"-spot in the finals, and won.

Laura Bennett was a one-note-- an AMAZING, Masterful, one-note. But a one-note nonetheless. She catered exclusively to her particular type of customer. She was a character, pregnant, drama maker, soundbite machine, and had a great story to tell. In reality tv land, that's gold... she had to be in the finals. To me, there were other versatile designers.

Michael Knight's great. Like Uli, he got himself in the finals based on TALENT. He was the fan favorite, but his collection was a dissappointment. Compared to other Hip Hop designers-- his work paled in comparison. Regardless, he's still awesome.

Back to Uli... I LOVED her 12-look SS07 collection. I decided to illustrate 5 of her print dresses from her final collection. I love how they flowed down the runway and the how the printed fabrics rippled. She chose the hottest models, too. The last piece was actually a bathing suit... but I drew with the dress still on. I wish Uli the best of luck in the future!!! Can't wait for Season 4!!!

I drew all of the artworks on paper, scanned them in, and painted them in photoshop. The prints were tricky to do. I ended up doing them in layers upon layers... overlaying them on top of each other. I hope you like them... they're my tribute to Uli.


EDIT: Thanks for the love, Blogging Project Runway !!!

Please feel free to browse my artworks and my previous posts.
