Four Great Beauties of China: Xi Shi 2013

Starting a series of personal painting based on a legend in Ancient China.  In all honesty I just wanted to draw beautiful women, here is the first one hope you enjoy because I did!

Watercolour and Ink on Paper, 5x7, 2013

Details:  Inspired by actress Sharla Cheung

Details:  Sadly the rough paper damages my ink pens.

Under 50 Boards 2013

Last storyboard of the year, digitally fixed.  The sound effects were included for the blog and not for submission so it's really rough.  Basic summary: A vile caveman out on a rampage with his new club causing destructive consequences  even for hundreds of generations after.

Character Line Up  

Rejects 2013

This is the second option for storyboards based on the poem "I wanna be the leader".  The concept was as strong as "My father is a werewolf" so no further work was done after the boards, but I'll post it anyways because the characters were really fun to draw.

Rejected boards:  Jennifer wanted to be the leader even though she was not chosen. So she decides to put matters into her own hands placing Yi in a difficult decision.

My Father is a Werewolf 2013

First storyboarding assignment of the year, theme was based off the poem "My Father is a Werewolf". My take became less and less literal with every "Turnover Session".  With the help of my professor I boarded a story of a hair loving family intrigued with the taste of human hair.  Reluctantly I had to remove Mica (inspired by an adorable puppy) from the storyboards because the story changed directions later on.

TV Hosts Are Great to Study 2013

Concave Skulls & Wrinkly Dress Shirts 2013

2nd Character Design project, topic was to create two characters that are opposites yet work together. Unfortunately, it wasn't until after the project did I discover how to rotate the skull and draw the folds in men's clothing.  However it's always tons of fun drawing sassy ladies.

I call her Helga 2013

First character assignment of the year, I based mine on a busty barmaid.
