Paul Bunyan

I never liked how big Paul is usually depicted so I made him a more manageable size, maybe around 20' tall or so. Babe the blue ox, on the other hand, is still huge.

Candle and Fruits

 Original, comes in two other flavors

 Hopeful

and Passionate

Another mishappen sphere

Apparently we were supposed to do shadows and backgrounds as well..

Avatar face

What.

Mishappen spheres

 I remembered back to my industrial design classes and tried out my marker techniques with Photoshops Brush tool.

 Playing around I discovered it was much easier to get smooth transitions with a lower Flow value.

 However, sometimes it could be desirable to have some form of texture with a high Flow value, too low and it becomes almost bland.

 A different brush brings about an entirely different texture. This one almost feels like cloth.

 This one reminds me of an orange.

What happened here?!?!

Final Monster

Rawwwrrgghglllrlglhlll

Textures

Suddenly, Textures, tons of them! I was so pleased with the 'gold' textures I made a whole bunch...

Monster Design

Here's the final monster line art...

..and some colors to go with it!

Monster thumbnails

 Sea monsters, big enough to be floating islands.

 Space monsters, as big as a large asteroid.

I don't know what these are, but I don't like them.

Korean Man

Here is a homework assignment, a vector of a photo of a man on a bus, probably.

Final Pirate Sign

Now with fixed borders!

Red Ridding Hood

Another in-class project

Funny Pirate Sign

Here's the pirate sign vectorized in Illustrator!

Ships on Waves

In class project. Since it has a gradient I made it as a jpeg instead of a gif.

Pirate Sign Project

The first project of this class is to design a funny pirate sign based off a real world counterpart. I made a list of 50 ideas, most of them terrible, and drew thumbnails of 5 ideas that were less terrible than the rest.

"Where to aim the cannons"

"No fighting in the Tavern"

"Dangerous Island Inhabitants"

"Parrot Surveillance"

"Handicap Docking"

The group decided I should go with the handicap sign, which needed a few revisions. Originally I wanted to replace the wheelchair with a little boat but no matter what I did it just looked weird, so I replaced it with a ship's wheel instead.

New Design Launched

It is Friday, June 03 and I just made my first update to my first blog ever! I was never quite sold on the idea of blogs but lately I've been warming up to them more. I've made several personal webpages back in the day when Geocities still existed but school had a annoying habit of keeping me from updating those projects. In a semi-ironic twist it is school that has now pushed me into creating this sector of space on the interwebs, which I will (hopefully) fill with stuff I make. As for the layout design, I felt like doing something grungy and tech because I've been pretty obsessed with Starcraft 2 lately... so there's that.
