My Very Favorite Character Design Class

The Metropolis is my favorite project. it's the Final Project for this semester :D.

The Terminator.

The Worshipper. Here is my idea of a story about true worshipper of God. How they use theis musical intruments and turns it into weapons, and use it combined with faith to defeat Lucifer.

after trials and error, finally have it done in Corell Painter. I'm still learning though,the handling of the different material it has with Corell is quite challenging for me at this time, but actually it's a really fun medium to workin with.

This is an illustration for a colaboration project I've done for my school display in 79 NM, I don't know when it will be up in the display though. but I'm looking forward to see it there ;).

the concept is based on a 1940's christmas cd cover.

Thomas Kinkade's Paintings

Yesterday when I was in my pastor's house, his daughter (who is my good friend) showed me Thomas Kinkade's painting. I'm speechless. his paintings really captures the beauty of God's creation, and all the beautiful colors He paints on the sky. His works are painted with traditional medium....and his recent works are the Disney paintings. amazing. beautiful!

Ralph Eggleston visit AAU

Yesterday, Animation department got a visit from Ralph Eggleston, the Production Design of PIXAR :D (http://www.pixartalk.com/pixarians/ralph-eggleston/). It was so fun & useful! he gaves us lots of information about working as Visual Development artist. Here are some notes that I wrote down from the presentation:

What is the differences between LIVE ACTION & CGI Feature Film?

- no "shooting"script

- storyreels

- nothing is free

- design process lasts entire length of production

- we have to design our actors!

When we CREATING A WORLD, Keep This in Mind:

- BELIEVEABILITY

- CARICATURE

- APPEAL 

(we have to deal with these when we design)

Environment Design: 

- Design an environment that fits into the character,

- Think about How Long it takes for the character to get there

Create a Strong Visual Information that would be remembered by the viewer.

Remember: "Understand what the lead artist wants to do, so that I can expand my design!"

Getting ready for bunch of great stuff

fuuh, I feel released. Today I met with Sherie Sinclair to show her my work progress throughout semester, and she gave me positive respond, Thank God :D. I was kind of nervous because I feel there is no enough works I can show, but the result showed the opposite :). so now I feel encouraged!

Figure drawing...here I come again...

Drawing from Figure studio workshop

I did this drawing for a friend of mine, Olivia. We were watching StarTrek Premiere together, and she laughed when she saw Captain Spark because of his short hair bang... it reminds her of her hair cut before. Since she asked me to draw for her, then I used that idea of Captain Spark for this drawing.
