A.P. Final!

Hey everyone! School's over! I was supposed to post this a week ago, but I kinda forgot to... Anyway, here's my Advanced Perspective final presentation:

Sorry for the bad photo, I'm currently in Sacramento and don't have my digital files with me at the moment. These two boards were 20x30 and were printed at Costco. I was pretty happy with the way they turned out, but honestly, I wish I was able to do MUCH more than I did.
They're still not finished yet, but I wanna try to polish these up some more for the Spring Show.

Hope you guys enjoy, and I'll post more better pictures soon + story behind it. :)

Thank you for looking! & HAPPY EARLY HOLIDAYS!! :D

Preliminary Roughs

We were supposed to do 5-10 preliminaries this week but I was only able to do a total of 8: 3 in color and 5 in value. I wanted to try to do 10 but I was tired out. Still gotta touch them up some more! I think I'm getting a bit faster at this though. References helped a ton. Without them, I don't think I would have finished these in time for class today. I started on Saturday night and worked all the way until this morning. It was tiring but I did it!

This project is so fun, I hope the whole thing turns out well in the end.

Thanks for looking!

A Whole lot of stuff! Some redos, some crap, but yay new things!

Stuff from Advanced Perspective I didn't get to post cause I was

1) lazy

2) didn't finish/not happy with them

But here they are anyway, in their super rough state. >< Some of them I don't even wanna show, but I'm gonna post anyway for the hell of it.

Week 3 Redo (week 6)

Week 9: Isometric (My own story thing)

Week 9: Isometric characters (own story)

So thats all of it! I'm really ashamed of my messy work and lazy work ethic, but its what I did for the past few weeks, so this is what I have to show. I hope I'll get to work on them more in the future. 

The last two pictures are for my Final Project, which is an ongoing assignment until the last week of class. Its an exciting challenge and I hope I'll be able to put my best into it to improve myself. Its a little scary, because our class is 2 weeks behind because of labor day and some other weird scheduling thing, so we're cramped on time. But I really want to see if I can change, create my own story and work the hell out of myself to get better. I hope it will end up being an interesting story. So until then! 

Thanks for looking :)

This week's theme is Noah's Ark. Yeah I know, Arks don't have sails, well whatevs, creative liberties. Flying ships yeahhh.

Still WIP, a little happy with them but its not there just yet. They still need plenty of touching up!

Its week 2 already! This week's theme is Geisha. I had a lot of trouble with this one. I didn't get to do color this time... :( . But I will try to get to it when time allows. Unfinished but enjoy!

Advanced Perspective Week 1 : Samurai

Horizon line passing the head


Um. So I'm taking advanced perspective class this semester. I threw up these within the last two days before it was due and they're really sloppy. The first week's theme was Samurai, so I decided to do Tanuki (Racoon Dog) Samurai. I'm not particularly proud of these, but I'm happy I was even able to do it. I think I will polish these up later on as the semester progresses.

Jack & The Beanstalk Final

Uhh still not finished with it, but I didn't have time left. Kind of did the last-minute thing again. Oh well. I will try harder next time!

Also, I will be moving everything to my new domain soon: www.dianewu.net
