Project 4550 with Leigh Russel

Final piece

Ambient occlution

Concept drawing

Turnaround of Herbert

Various concept drawings

For a classproject I had to create a 3D super hero charater in a 3D environment with textures and lights. I chose to make a character by the name of Herbert Earth. He is one of the four elements who has been sent to Earth to save humanity from itself. Unfortunately, he has lost his memory and is now trying to fit into human society. His superpower is that he can manipulate earth.

I did all the 3d work in Maya.

Concept Design For Dr De Soto, The Wife & The Fox.

Here I redesigned the William Steig's characters from the story Dr. De Soto. It took me about a day to design it from start to finish. It is Dr De Soto, his wife and the fox.

Later I made a very very rough sculpture of The Wife in a material called chavant, It too me about twelve hours to make the sculptur from start to finish

Drawing With Lawrence Marvit

Perspective 1

 

  Construction Robot

Super Villain Summer Holiday

This was a basic but thorough lecture in perspective. The first piece Perspective 1 was an exercise in perspective drawing, where the theme was a castle with additional terrain surrounding it.

Construction Robot was an exercise in drawin object in perspective. I learned that cylinders are hard to draw properly, but worthwhile to learn. The robot had to be constructed out of ordinary things you would find around the house.

 

With Super Villain Summer Camp I had to combine all the things I had learned during my drawing and  design classes with Lawrence M. That meant making a perspective drawing and use a limited palette of tones to draw attention to where you want the viewer to look. I will update this picture later after I have rendered it and added a wider range of tones as well as painting over the drawn lines.

Design Class With Lawrence Marvit

Jazz

Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.

These two ilustrations were made as part of a larger week long lecture on design using simple graphic methods as well as a limited gradient range of three tones. 

With the Jazz piece I was requiered to listen to a piece by Miles Davies and find associations through the music to something that moved me. I recalled a time from my childhood, where me and my brothers would go to the top floor of my grandparents apartment building and drop matches all the way down between the railings, while we watched them sail through the air.

The Jekyll & Hyde piece was to depict Mr Hyde waking up after having been transformed from human into the monster. I had to imagine what emotional state of mind he would be in and then do my best to make it clear for an audience when they look at the picture.
