"Fast Food"

"Fast Food," 2007
Corel Painter

This is the first image I've made that I feel is any good... Gory, unclean, dehumanizing, and something we should be ashamed of - that's fast food.

Angel of the Deep

Corel Cephalopainter

Yes, it is a squid. I was playing around with different brushes in Painter.

Art Deco

Adobe Illustrator
These are some images I did to test my understanding of Art Deco style.

Rocks!

Corel Painter

These are some rocks on top of a mountain. I used a picture I took while in Korea as a reference.

Lime Attack

Corel Painter
I've been working on texture today, so here are three limes, painted throughout the day. At the top is the first, and at the bottom is the most recent. The top one looks more like a mutant watermelon, if you ask me. I've definitely improved!

Color Practice

Corel Painter
I'm just playing around with colors here, nothing serious. I checked out 7 books from the library about color theory, perspective drawing, visual composition, art history, and lighting. I've definitely got my work cut out for me.

The wave of the future

Adobe Illustrator

A fake advertisement for personal augmentation using nanomachines, in Art Deco style.

My Hand

Corel Painter
Well it's actually only part of my left hand. Painting from real life is a ton more difficult than painting from a picture... especially when I have to hold my hand still for this long!
