XXXIX- Tee-Ty

          Here is my Tree Mage, the sixth of my Dark Wings Mage series. My Tree Mages are ethnically based off most African origins (particularly central). They are also one of a few races that appear anthropomorphic.

XXXVIII- Character Expressions: Main

          These are the common expressions for my five main characters. Starting from the top left to right is Phoenix Flamestaff with the expressions of tough guy, anger, tired, and depressed. Then is Taiko Zitha with happy, scared, stud, and concern. Next is Lucrecia (Luci) Aeida with pleased, skeptic, confused, and EVIL EYE. At the bottom left is Salvick with mellow, irritated, mischievous, and pissed. And last but not least is Mika with cute, embarrassed, confused, and in trouble. More of these to come.

XXXVII- Hamlshee

           Here is my Sand Mage, or rather Hamlshee as I will be calling them now. The fifth of my Dark Wings Mage series. My Hamlshee are ethnically based off Arabic.

XXXVI- Mind Mage

          Here is my Mind Mage, the third of my Dark Wings Mage series. I really enjoyed doing this one and even made a video of the progress. My Mind Mages are ethnically based off British Islander. And if you're wondering what's up with her eyes? It's because she is blind, mind mages are born blind but have incredible psychic abilities.

XXXV- Nathan Nichols

          This is a digital paint piece I did of a friend of mine Nathan Nichols. It took a long time considering what technique I was doing. But it was well worth it :)

XXXIV- Photoshop Frog: Video Progress

          This is the video progress I put together of the Photoshop Frog.

XXXIII- Photoshop Frog

          This is a piece that I collaborated with Nathan Nichols. This was based off a tutorial we found in a photoshop magazine. This was a great way to experiment with texture and details and I was glad to have Nathan asking me to do this and helping me do this, it was awesome and I had fun.

XXXII- Wind Mage

          Here is my Wind Mage, the third of my Dark Wings Mage series. This too was rather time consuming. But like I said before "I feel that the more time spent on a piece, the more you should be proud of it." My Wind Mages are ethnically based off Baltic (German/Lithuanian/cct.).

XXXI- Thunder Mage

          Here is my Thunder Mage, the second of my Dark Wings Mage series. I really like how this one turned out and it was rather time consuming. I feel that the more time spent on a piece, the more you should be proud of it. My Thunder Mages are ethnically based off Central American/Aztec/Mayan/Incan ect. I went with more of a Mayan look to this one as her necklace bares the Mayan symbol for "cloud."

XXX- Dark Wings Villains

         
          This is a piece I did for my Character & Object Design. We were supposed to do a group of cute characters and a group of scary characters that appear to fit together. I used my Blood Mage group from Dark Wings. From left to right: Bartlebe, Avafordis (on throne), Selaina, and Zeek. This was my first time drawing Avafordis and Zeek so I really enjoyed finally getting to design them.

XXIX- Magic Cards

          This is my Black Creature Card that I did of Selaina as a rather gnarly creature.

          This is my Blue Sorcery Card from my card project. I used this piece cause it seemed like it worked best.

          This is my Green Land Card.

          This is my Red Enchantment Card. I used this piece for it.

          This is my White Instant Card. I used this piece for it.

XXVIII- Jack of Hearts & Tarot Card

          These are a couple pieces I did for my Advanced Drawing class. We had to do 1 playing card, 1 tarot card, and 1 magic card. These are two of the cards that I did. The symbolism behind the Jack of Hearts (top) is that in France, Jack of Hearts is associated with La Hire. I chose the death card cause I love anything having to do with the Grim Reaper so I take any excuse to draw it.

XXVII- Underwater Prisoner Transport

          This was a project for Advanced Drawing called "How Fly is your Ride." We had to compose a piece of a creature riding a creature basically and have to make them look natural together. Don't know where my head was on this piece but I do love how it came out. Photoshop CS3 with Wacom Tablet.

XXVI- Game Cover Art

          This was for my "Advanced Drawing" class where we had to design and create a game cover, a poster, and a convention banner (kiosk). This is the game cover art work of my main character from my game/comic concept "Grim Nocturnal." Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom Tablet.

XXV- Hawkeye Pierce

          This was a sketch I did to work on my portraiture to better myself and this was the result. This is one of my favorite characters Hawkeye Pierce from the hit 1970s series M*A*S*H which is one of my favorite shows.

XXIV- Fire Mage

          This is a piece I did for fun and for an ethnicity study because the mages (a human race who possesses powers of the elements) all have these different ethnicities. For the fire mage I wanted to channel a Native American look so that was the look for this piece. Photoshop CS5 using a Wacom Cintiq.

XXIII- 2D Animation Final

          This is a short animation done for my "2D Principles" class. I did it of a Dark Wings character done in Adobe Flash CS5.

XXII- Sculptures

          These are all my sculpture projects from my sculpture class. The first one is a single box project so I decided to do a treasure chest made from cardboard and super sculpey. The second is the three box project of a mouse, who is about to be eaten by a bird, who is about to be eaten by a dinosaur all made of britsol board, feathers, fur, textured felt, and super sculpey. The third is the wire project where I did a dragon wing. The fourth is the super sculpey figurine done of a Dark Wings character "Mika." The fifth is the creature clay head that I did using oil based clay of the fawn from "Pan's Labyrinth." and the last one was the final where we had to do another figure and I did two characters from Dark Wings fighting using super sculpey.

XXI- 3D Building

          I took a 3D modeling class and one of the projects that I did was to make a crazy looking building. I am not a huge fan of character modeling but I do really enjoy architectural modeling. Done in Autodesk Maya using a reference image.

XX- Dark Wings Cover

          This was a cover concept for Dark Wings that I did in my "Graphic Novel & Comic Building" class. I designed the title type, used a dynamic pose, and very awesome color and texturing.
