Fox Force Five Preview

Here is a little character design project I recently started.  I decided to design the characters that Uma Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction refers to when she talks about the pilot episode she starred in called Fox Force Five.  More developed versions coming soon!


Product/Prop Design Project

This is a little something I did for a product/prop design course at Gnomon.  The project is made up of a package that takes you from research and development all the way to the final rendering of the product (mine not as rendered as it should be.  Might revisit).













Character Silhouettes

Just me playing around with different character designs in the form of thumbnail silhouettes.  Some pages start to get weird towards the end!









Design Work: Violeta

Here is another film I designed costumes for; a supernatural drama called Violeta directed by my good friend Molly O' Connor.  For more details and a full synopsis of the film, visit http://violetathefilm.com/ .  I will soon be adding the initial design illustrations.





Sculpture WIP

This is a work in progress/close to finish of my first clay sculpt.  It is 20" tall and made out of a medium chevant clay.  Finished piece coming soon!




Hypothetical Wedding Dress

This is an illustration I did for a couture bridal house that wanted Sophia Vergara to potentially wear one of their wedding dresses.


Traditional Examples

Here are some examples of my traditional work in figure drawing, costumed figure drawing, anatomy studies, and master copies.  All live poses were 2-20 minutes long.

Sculpture Sneak Peek!

Here's a sneak peek of my very first model from the Sculpture 1 class at Gnomon.  My concept is from the Ishtar design I did last term.  Finished product coming soon!

First homework post!

So, as some of you may know, I am now enrolled in the Entertainment Design program at Gnomon School of Visual Effects, which means... homework posts!  This is the first 'fun' assignment.  In art history we had to choose a character to design from The Epic of Gilgamesh.  I chose to design the goddess, Ishtar.

Creature concept for experimental short film

This is a creature concept my director friend and I are developing for an experimental short film we are collaborating on.  There is a masculine and feminine version because we are playing with the idea of this creature being able to change its sex when need be (both are pretty androgynous but with slight differences).  We don't know yet what that need might be, but hey, that's development!
Also, this is a new style of sketching I'm trying out.  In fact, this is the first time in awhile I've done actual 'sketches' as opposed to full illustrations.  Stay tuned for more like this!
