Bleach 10th Anniversary

I'm not gonna lie, when I saw this spread.. I was like "OH S**T". Bleach has always been an up and down ride for me but I've always loved it deep, deep, deep down in my heart. Looks like we'll be going back to Soul Society and I can't wait to see how different everyone else looks as well. Need to design something the celebrate the anniversary, has it really been 10 years? XD

WIP X-Men Rogue

Been watching X-Men: Animated Series for the past few weeks and I love it. Most of the time when I go back and re-watch something in the past it's pretty bad the second time around. (i.e. Power Rangers) This hasn't happened while watching X-Men again, I guess mainly even though it has it's share of corny moments the themes and issues they tackle are still related to current events. My favorite character is Rogue haha. She's so hot and something about that Southern accent.. anyways, her power is bad ass and I love her so I did a fanart.

Ayur Poster

Pointillism with masking tape? Not exactly the smartest thing I've ever done but it sure as hell paid off! Doing completely line-art would've been the fastest way to accomplish this project but me and Karan went to go Seurat on my living room wall. I used a scene from Hanasaku Iroha as reference and decent amount of tape. My prof. is talking about cutting it out of my wall.......... I'm not so sure how my landlord is going to that proposal but we'll see.

Size: Apox. 7 x 3ft

Typography Project: Inversion

TapeArt - Fejzo & Luka Ursic from Multipraktik on Vimeo.

I saw some videos by these guys awhile ago and I've always wanted to do something like this, but never had a chance or reason to... until now. For my final project of this series I want to do a tape art mural on a wall. Sadly it's going to rain all weekend. T-T

Blazo Poster

To keep up with my theme of Hiphop Jazz producers I went with Blazo for this assignment. The color scheme is inspired from his Colors of Jazz album, which I highly recommend. The goal was to use fragmentation in the type and image relationship so I kept it simple and just cut off the top of his name with one of the color bars.

Seriously?!

So after a devastating loss of my iPod dying on Sunday, the charger for my Macbook Pro dies too. This is the only way I can illustrate my sadness. Not a good week for me and Apple products. Despite what you see in this drawing, I didn't rage this hard. Of course I had a reference but it was nostalgic drawing DBZ stuff again. A lot of people hate on Akira Toriyama but I admire him. Sigh, looks like I'll be blowin money fast this weekend. /gg

I drew a Guy? wtf

Got so tired of failing at Maya so I decided to screw around on the Cintiqs in Dyson. Unfortunately I forgot my references for what I wanted to CG tonight so I went with an oldie from one of my animations a few years ago. He has no name, I just refer to him as "white knight" and it's a long story haha. So far painting everyday is paying off IMO and I think working on the Cintiqs makes it a whooooleeee lot easier to line art. I'm thinking this will be a daily thing from now on. Now it's time to study for my life drawing midterm :(

Separation of type and image poster feat. TOKiMONSTA

Optima Type Specimen

So here's my ver. 1.0 of my poster.
-Logotype is terrible. Already reworking it.
-Background image changed/removed.
-Extend the words down.

I was really shocked at the reception it got in class critique. Figured it'd get ripped apart. XD
Typesetting the actual names was hell but it was all worth it. Overall.. easy fixes and probably portfolio material.

Possible new self logo?

I hate taking CMPA and it doesn't help that it's at 8AM. We were assigned to make a logo for ourselves and it needed an image as well as type so I couldn't use my existing one. :/ So after doodling for a few days I randomly came up with this. I don't even like elephants forreal.. but for the sake of passing I chose this one. Elephants symbolize wisdom and power which describe me perfectly.... >_> haha I do enjoy this happy accident and who knows I might actually adopt it later on. Enjoi
