Bioshock Infinite

So...geez I don't even want to talk about this piece...This was GOING to be for the IGN Bioshock Infinite contest...and I misread the due date (I worked a whole extra day on it past the actual due date) but then on top of that I still was no where near finshed...So mad because it was starting to look halfway decent too. Don't know if I'll ever finish it so it may just be a sketch for the rest of its existence.

Anyway, this is Booker and Elizabeth vector style. What looms over them? The world may never know.

Nationwide Insurance Deliverables

Woah. Updates 2 days in a row? Astounding. I just wanted to share some of the deliverables I have made since starting at Nationwide Insurance! I'm not going to go into detail about everything and I've made sure that there are no classified Nationwide details here to get me in trouble! :)

The "Tree of Knowledge" is a IT Competency Model to give associates a better understanding of classes they need to take to become better equipped in their roles.

The Teaching Thursdays board has a sample of the many different Marketing tactics I did for these peer driven classes I helped maintain. I helped shape the logo,learning materials, monitor advertisements,etc.

And the TechCon board is from Nationwide IT "TechCon 2013" which is a sort of learning convention. I was on the wonderful committee that set up the ran the convention at the Hyatt this past February. I help create information booklets, digital presentation templates, icons, banners, etc. I did not create the logo (I did add the vine though), but my idea for the logo can be seen in the upper left hand corner.

Hasbro Littlest Pet Shop

So I haven't posted anything I've done in the past year...at all...FAIL. Just wanted to post a little update with some of the toy concept work I've done for Hasbro! Both series hit toy shelves everywhere in Jan-Feb 2013. I've been fortunate enough to get a hold of some of these toys myself!

Vector art is such a slow process...and I'm a slow artist.So this probably isn't a good thing for me! Oh well, closing on only a handful of days until Mid Ohio Con so I'm working as it!
I always wanted to do a Nightcrawler piece...and have smoke-LOTS OF PURPLE SMOKE.YES.

Bonsoir

Wow so I haven't posted here in FOREVER. Dang. Well I mean all the stuff I've made in the past 3-4 months has been for Hasbro and therefore-a secret!
So this is for Mid-Ohio Con and I decided to I wanted to vectorize the cajun to begin with! Apparently a lot of people love Gambit out of all the X-Men. Hey-I can't complain! I had a lot of fun and problem solving/challenge in getting this "done".
Tell me what ya'll think!

Hasbro: The Journey

Well here he is! Mueta the shog farmer ans his best shog Beau-my Hasbro toy internship! I am so grateful for all the tools lent and all the advice given by everyone! This was a great experience and I am so thankful for the opportunity!

Villainesque Sketches

Just a turnaround of a possible villain...

A Portrait of Death

Yes...I need to work on my painting techniques...I'm so out of practice. This was my portrait concept for the word "death". I looked into different cultures' symbols for death and animal symbolism as well. It's about 11"x14" and on wood. It looks better in person honestly.

The Painted Elephant

Well...so THIS is for Fashion Illustration...but is really straying from the fashion emphasis I think. O well! I was experimenting a bit with going back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop. Because I'm not very good at that.This is a semi-final. I have to adjust a few things on the background. Eventually.
The point was to create an outfit based off of India fashion. Illustration students were allowed to do something more in their realm though. :)

This Font Size Scares Me.

So...I gotta keep making art and posting here. The end of school is quickly approaching and I got to keep motivated...
I like doing my Children's book because it's a more simplistic style and I get more freedom to exaggerate color/value/etc... But anyway, I am trying to get a mock up of this book together for Directions. I don't want to be a Children's Book artist exactly but...well I just want to write stories and draw. Guess that's all that really matters to me.
Anyway, enjoy all!
p.s.-That font size scares me but Boley told me it would be awesome this way. HAHA.
