I had a lot of fun with this, especially playing with texture and color. I feel like this shows off a lot of improvement drawing-wise since last year, though I would really love to fix that second panel when I get the chance.
This was the first project for Information Illustration I. A simple tutorial featuring hands.
The second project in Info Illustration. The goal was to make an info broadsheet about a topic that the human can't see with the naked eye. At the time we were given this project, it was implied that a few people very close to me were going to have to be given radiation and chemotherapy treatments, so I thought it would be interesting to try and learn more about the subject and use it as a way of working through that particularly hard point in my life. I was heavily inspired by the whole 1950's atomic era, along with games like Fallout and Half-Life.
Looking back, I would definitely get that typography fixed (That red is just killing it, ouch!). I's also move the gender symbol up so that it wasn't bleeding off the page, and make those little radiation and cell monsters bigger and easier to see.
Ah, Environments class. How you push me. This Project required us to paint the same scene at different points of time during the day. Could have used some more reflective surfaces and maybe blurred that tree in the midground more, but seeing as how I don't draw/paint environments nearly enough, I feel like it's been a good learning experience and I know what to do better for next time now.
Another Environments painting series. This project required an obvious foreground, midground, and background in 4 studies, with a more refined larger version of your favorite. I actually had some fun with this one. Maybe it's just me being so obviously Canadian, but I love painting winter scenes.
Finally...
The comic that kept me up for days straight.
Project 2 of Figure Illustration II involved us choosing a short story or script and creating a comic or storyboard panel set from it. No dialogue allowed. I decided to try my hand at Edgar Allen Poe's "A Cask of Amontillado". I really like this story, it's so creepy and full of tension. Unfortunately, I only was able to draw out half the story, instead of the full thing like I intended, but I'd definitely like to revisit this again around Christmas break.
I tried a different sort of style for this, a little more cartoonish. I don't think I'll be doing that again, I'd rather be a little more realistic next time, but at least I tried something new. Really could have used a splash page featuring Montresor's villa exterior between pages 3 and 4, and the gutters would probably look better white, but that's something to fix when I have a little more time.
