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!

First Finished Winter Project

This is my first and maybe my only Winter break project. It's a D&D adventurer Using a belt of "Bull Strength". I have really started to fall behind on my posts. I had meant to post a few things when break started but my scanner was acting like a jerk, thanks Snow Leopard. Untill i get around to that, enjoy the new post.

I don't know if you can recognize him or not but Jordan Merchant was my reference model. Thanks man. I hope I made you angry enough.

Love Potion No. 9: Final

That Crazy Van Buren: Follow Up

The Final composition for the Presidential portrait for Payne's class. It's gonna be fairly limited pallet so I figured I would go ahead and post the rough with out color.

The icons at the bottom of the frame symbolize different things about Van Buren's life. The first is a windmill to show what I believe to be the embodiment of Holland (where his parents where from), the second is my homemade icon for his time in office, and the third icon is a new democratic emblem to represent his party. In case you were wondering...

Love Potion No.9: Updated

Ok, this isn't an official sketch, though I will say I got a bit carried away with this one and worked on it longer then I should have. The project is to design an illustration to capture the words of a song released in the 1960's (that is the love potion spilling out behind him). We also have to have an influence in mind when working on the piece. Can you guess who mine is? No guessing if you know already. That's cheating...

I still need to find another song to do roughs for by this Thursday. Tomorrow will be a late night.

That Crazy Van Buren...

This is a little character study for a Presidential porterait I have been given as one of my new projects. The goal with this is just to secure a strong likness of which ever President I decided to do. After choosing Van Buren, I figured a sketch to try to capture his "look" would be the best place to start.
