Weapons Line

These are just some quick throw-down pieces I did a while back after looking through some firearm images-I wanted to do something different and so ended up designing a line of firearms for the heck of it. Each is meant to be reminiscent of the others, as if they came from the same manufacturer or were part of a set. All are helical magazine fed, and the classes are as follows: shotgun; assault rifle; bull pup rifle; pistol; sniper rifle; SMG (they are not to scale, unfortunately). This was done on 9X12 paper in graphite. I am curious about these, so leave a comment below letting me know your thoughts. Vaya con Dios.

Animal / Texture Mash-Up

Some layouts and designs for a character class I took. The idea was to take an animal and add an specific texture-type to it and create a unique character / creature - I chose a jaguar and an industrial texture (this assignment was the bane of my existence for a few weeks-I don't know how many concepts and designs I came up with before finally settling on this one). Everything is digital except for the bottom left, which was done on 9X12 paper in blue col-erase pencil with a graphite overlay. The color render was a test to see how it could possibly look if colors and textures were to be added. Vaya con Dios.

Cliffhanger Motel

Gray-scale Photoshop render of a hotel design I came up with for an environment class I took a few quarters ago. The concept was to create a hotel in the middle of the jungle / forest; I came up with about four different concepts until finally settling on this design and doing a digital render. The hotel is called "Cliffhanger Motel", and you can see a small monkey clinging to the sign as he waves to welcome guests-it overlooks a stream with a small waterfall. I would love to know your thoughts on this piece, so please leave a comment below. Vaya con Dios.

Perspective at MARTA

 

Some sketches of different MARTA stations in Atlanta, GA. Some I had a little more time to do than others. All were done purely as perspective practices. Each was done in graphite on 5.5X8.5 sketch paper. Vaya con Dios.

SIEGE 2012

I did this quick little piece back in early October during the 2012 SIEGE conference in Atlanta, GA. Nothing special about it, really-just sitting around one day in between session blocks and I decided to just sketch, and this is what came up (there was a lot of NoS...a LOT). I may, one day, do a final piece of the same concept. Comment below what you think. This was done on 8.5X11 computer paper in graphite while under heavy influence of NoS energy drink. Vaya con Dios.

Original Star Wars Character part 1

This is a concept / design process image of an original Star Wars character I came up with. She is a non-canon character and is the daughter of Kit Fisto and Aayla Secura. If you are as avid a Star Wars fan as I am, you'll realize that many of the alien characters are humanoid, and given that fact there wasn't much for me to do design-wise on her from the neck down. However, when researching Kit and Aayla, I noticed that they each had one thing in common, albeit different - they each have head tendrils. Aayla has two long tendrils, while Kit has many (I call them dreads lol). Also, Kit has some awesome looking eyes, and with that being said, I fused their tendril styles together and put in the large eyes. Her costume is loosely based on Aayla's, being skin tight on top, but I decided to keep it loose on the bottom. More information on the character itself will be put in on the next post when she becomes more finalized. As for now, Vaya con Dios.
