Various evil faces staring you down

BETA-Daioh and Company

Medium - FireAlpaca

Date - May 2019

A part of my Drawing II final in Mercy College. We were allowed to draw whatever we wanted in whatever medium we wanted, so I went to my comfort zone of the digital arts and doubled down on the amount of characters present and shading detail. Here we have BETA-Daioh on the right, and to his left, Good Knight (shortest one, red hat), Dr. Winter (gold horns, one red eye) and Count Quack. (Largest one, stares right into your soul despite being blind)

Meat Lobster

Date - 2019 Fall Semester

Another assignment for Digital Painting; use a shaded template of a lobster and give it life. I went to a similar route as the Tapeworm Tape and made it out of raw meat. I was advised to apply some other touches to this, such as the binding ropes and garnish.

Big and Small

Medium - Photoshop

Date - 2019 Fall Semester

Another assignment for Digital Painting; compose an illustration featuring a large figure and a small one. I took the scenario of a tokusatsu style hero taking on a large mecha in the midst of a city. The use of shading and the light cord of the hero was used to emphasize how small he truly is compared to the mech.
