Eyeballin






Foreshortening is a trial of my patience. The bottom two are original sketches that I did with pen and/or pencil. Perspective is a motherf*cker! I need to practice more. These drawings took way longer than they should Have.

At the top, I finalized the composition and vectored the lines BY HAND because live trace wasn't cuttin' it. My wrist will not forgive me anytime soon .

This is the actual graffiti I made. It was so hard! I've ever made anything like it before so there was a lot of trial and error that went into making it not look stupid. Can you read it?

Drama at the Pink Kitty


I don't know if I'm sick of this because I've been looking at it so long or if I just really hate the way it turned out. This is the completed illustration of Nina in the strip club where she works.

I kinda like how they fill up the space but I just feel like they look cheesy. I dunno. I'm just glad to be finished with it.

What you see here is just the tip of the iceberg and a small fraction of the final comp so there is much, much more work to be done and more to come. I'll update accordingly

This project is going to take a while, I can see that now. There are a lot of people in the picture so it's a doozy -_- But Here is a marker to show how it's coming along so far. Here, you can appreciate the details. In the big picture, she's far away so you can't see her face all that well. I know I shouldn't have spent so much time on something thats not even gonna be clearly visible but hey, I'm a freakin perfectionist, so shoot me.

She Samurai
