A New Vibe To Europa Financial

As a new project for the portfolio I decided to go back and create an addition to a recent branding I did (as well as make some minor tweaks to the color pallet). Europa Financial is an Investment/Wealth Management firm that I was thinking could use some new advertising. It was my thought that this would be something more like a leave behind that could be used as a direct mail piece during optimum times of the year statistically for new business for the company. It is a four page booklet with a fold out info-graphics that I posted in my last post. These are some shots of the booklet assembled.

That Went Quick...

Spectrum worthy?...I think I might send it in with the other and see how it goes.

Ambush: Final

It is finished! Finally! I really drug that one out big time... and yes some of you may have noticed that a party member is missing. So what, It's my painting, I can do what I want. And that character was just rubbing me the wrong way the whole time I worked on it. So out she went. Just in time for Illuxcon 2010. Which I am driving to in the morning. 5hrs! by myself...It's gonna feel like days I'm sure.

A Little Taste of Everything...

Ok, I said I would post up the new paint but I haven't gotten to far into it just yet. So here is the rough(very rough) sketch I do have done. To follow up with that is a logo "re-design" as a personal project of Lambesis Studios. I thought it would be fun to rework the look of what they had, but since this is something I did for myself you can look up their current logo yourself if your that curious.

ALPHADOG HABERDASHERY

More Graphic Design! I have been adding more graphics stuff to my portfolio like a mad man. And I think I need a break. Here is another project I just finished. It's a fictional haberdashery that I thought would be fun to work with. The store concept with revolve around hats and accessories mainly, with a few exceptions for shoes some jackets and bags. I would shop there. But I think I may have actually just created a store I can' afford. There is a few more parts to this collection on the side so if your curious click on over.

Package Design: Savanna Pale Ale

For the past few weeks I have been trying to really invest myself more into the updating of my graphic design portfolio. And for the most part doing so has been a lot of fun. I just finished this as well as a few t-shirt designs and a few other things that are now officially added to my portfolio. Not to mention the list of more things I plan on adding in the coming weeks. This sort of work tends to go quite a bit faster for me then illustration so even though I have sketches for a new piece or two, I am choosing to wait until after I have added all the things I have already planned for. I should get around to cleaning up some rough sketches for those new pieces though.

So illustration aside, what do you think of the Savanna branding/packaging? I kinda love the whole pakaderm family so I like to through them in when I can haha.

TATA GALA: FIN

I just finished this last night, where I stayed up later then I want to admit because I was in the "zone". It's a bad habit that needs to stop. But a question for anyone that feels like answering. How do you feel about the type? Is it good? Bad? Would you like to see me submit it to the gallery with the type on it? Or is it more appropriate to have it typeless? I can't make up my mind.

Armored Adventurer: FIN

Work In Progress: Surviving The Storm

Well, I'm pretty sure it's all finished But I'm not quite sure yet. I hope you like it. You know that mode your brain gets in where you don't think about anything else then the moment you step away you think, geez I am hungry...and i really need to go to the bathroom. Needless to say there is still a lot of work that needs to get finished still so I better get that other stuff out of the way.

Discover a Muse

Alright. Here it is. My submission for the Discover A Muse challenge over at ArtOrder. I'm pretty positive this thing is finished. But when you have more time you usually find little things to tweak before you have to turn it in for good. We shall see haha, it's not due till June 1st.


In the end I decided to do a picture of an Elf Warlock. The Picture I used is from Veronika's portfolio site HERE called perfectmuse.com from a set shot by Huit Photography. Veronika as a muse is all part of the challenge, so everyone got the opportunity to work from her modeling portfolio as reference.

Collecting The Fallen

Finally it's finished. I'm really happy with this one. I still have another assignment before the year finishes but regardless I need to start sending work to every fantasy anything I can get a hold of...

Also I thought I would try a "step by step" of this project, mostly because I actually remembered to screen cap the project as I go. I would like to say that this was by request haha, but that hasn't happened yet. So if anyone was interested to see it in process, check it out! If anyone has any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Battle Royal!

Alright guys, here is the finish on my most recent assignment for Payne's class. Over all I'm pretty happy with it, but I am gonna try to get things more dynamic... I'm thinking Gladiators...

A Vampire Just Passing Through Town

It's not to often that you catch a vampire traveler in it's natural habitat... feeding on...well some random girl he happened to come across. Unfortunate? maybe, but that is the food chain.

The Big Lebowski VS. The Maltese Falcon:

The assignment was to design a new movie poster based on the "Mash-up" of two movies from a list A and B. After a few days hours of thumbnailing things out I decided to go with The Big Lebowski and The Maltese Falcon. For the record I am just glad that I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. And now I can move on haha.

UPDATE: Kobolds Revised

UPDATE: Do Kobolds have temples??

Well, here it is. The update of my assignment for C.F. Payne's class. The final? I don't know yet. It's not due until Friday class and I have yet to post it on Oondu so I may have some corrections in my not so distant future. Regardless it is just about, if not totally finished. This is probably the largest scale piece i have yet to do, as far as composition complexity goes. I hope you guys like it. This is a standard that I am holding myself to this semester and hopefully that will lead to some promising freelance work in the months to come.

Revised Winter Project

After My hard drive crashed at the tail end of break, I have finished revising my vacation project and posting it. Sorry it took so long to get the suggested revisions up. Thanks for the comments!

That Crazy Van Buren: Final

I scanned it. Finally! Sorry it took so long. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard I found out that the company that made my large format scanner decided not to upgrade their drivers... So it took me a bit to get around to installing the drivers on my girlfriends laptop. I got new things cookin though, so keep an eye out!
