Concept Art

Adobe Photoshop  |  Paint Tool Sai

Most drawings start with a sketching phase, and this is where the groundwork is modified to perfection before becoming illustrated. Drawn in either Adobe Photoshop or Paint Tool Sai for the soft-edged brush strokes, the pictures capture an emotion or design that is transferred for the final product.

Backgrounds

Adobe Photoshop  |  Flash

Leaning towards a presentation style, these backgrounds are drawn in with Adobe Photoshop for the versatility provided in the tool set. For an animated piece, the background is created in Flash and rendered out smaller for viewing on the web.

Storyboard

Adobe Photoshop

Storyboards are used to organized a sequence for animation or film. These were drawn in Adobe Photoshop for a mock anamatic called Spill, featuring personal characters designs. This was a learning process to properly pace shots and understand styles of camera movements and cuts.

Accessory Design

Adobe Photoshop

Drawn to the shining aesthetic of finely cut gemstones, mimicking the beauty of jewelry was tricky. Symmetry and mirroring was key, as well as which precious metal associated with the design.

Turn-Arounds

Paint Tool Sai

These types of turn-arounds are separated from character sheets because their purpose is meant for 3D modeling. All views are needed to properly model, and consistency is very important.
Although designed, not all of these designs were modeled.
