Machete Designs ( digital, main/secondary character)

This is the digital part of the machete assignment where I first design my two character where they both interact with one another. Synopsis/Interaction
 Lui Yang who is a hot headed colonel leads a small platoon guarding one of the gates of
the capital city of Luoyang during the times of the Han dynasty. One day, a large group
of bandits made their way to the gates of Luoyang where Lui Yang’s troops are
posted. The bandits planned to invade Luoyang feeling confident they can break through
their defenses and raid whatever they can get before their backup could arrive . Impatience as Lui Yang is,he charged in with the men he have holding the down the fort while ordering is major, and best friend Chu Po, to to call for backup and launching a surprise attack at the bandits. I have to draw 5 poses and 5 head/shoulder with expressions for both character, and 3 interaction drawings with both character in it. I also have all my roughs and initial sketches and combined them to make a collage background.

York Regional Police Mural (AFD)

This artwork is way back in my Arts Fundamental program for Jim Graves Illustration 2 class. My group Gordan Chan, Genuman Ho, Micheal Alvis and me came up with this concept for the York Regional police mural. There are many groups with great designs and I am honored that they liked our design.It was a great experience as we have to meet a deadline even though the semester was finished and how the client wants some changes to the mascot where we have to make changes before we could start on the mural. It was not easy to paint a large mural where the painting is taller than me but at least we got some money as a reward. And yes, we knew the perspective was way off but we want to showcase everyone and vehicles as possible since the police requested it during their first meeting with all the groups that were involved is this project.

JEKYLL TO HYDE

(The scientist going through a transformation from a human to a humanoid dinosaur in attempt to make super soldier serum by using DNA samples from various dinosaur fossils)

This is an assignment is in my 2nd semester in Animation where we show the transformation of our character to some organic monster. This assignment was near the end of the semester and was work in progress when the yearbook deadline was due, so I would like to post this up on what my Jekyy To Hyde looked like. I liked the overall of the transformation and the posing in the limited amount of poses we have for this assignment. What I might want is to add more blood spew as the the spikes penetrate the back of his body.

Archictectural Layout

 

This is a project from 1st semester where the students have to design a layout of their given choice from Ancient Mayan, Japan, China, Greek, and Egyptian. In the layout, we have to include a background, mid- ground, and foreground. Once we have completed the layout, we have to take it to the program Photoshop, to paint it for Digital class.

For my choice of design, I chose Ancient Japan because most of the people I came across wanted to do Ancient Greek or Mayan. I am familiar with some of the architecture in Greek and Mayan and so I wanted to try something different. I also want to learn more about their architecture since it is similar to China. It was quite hard to find things that belong to Japan so I decided to use the background and foreground objects to let the viewer know where the setting is.

I had the design in my head for while when I first received the assignment and I am quite pleased on how it turned out as a whole peace. I especially enjoyed incorporating textures into the design like the wood lamp, water , and the stony textures for the bridge. I also liked the roof of the building showing the depth of the painting. If there where more time, I would like to show more buildings in the background instead of the forest of bamboo trees.  What I might change in this is see what it would look like during the day time because originally , I had a moon behind the building and that would mean no lighting in the front of the building even though it is at night . I also would like to improve on the cherry blossom tree since I was not good at drawing details to trees.

Yearbook

 

   This is my yearbook page of some of my work in 1st year Animation that includes life drawing, character design, layout, and digital painting. 

Fish

This is just some paintings of different variety of koi fish and a clown trigger fish on canvas of 24 by 18 inches. The medium I used over the summer break was acrylic paint . Its actually a gift for my aunt who moved in to her house. Seeing how I haven't used paint for the longest time, it was challenging to give it the 3D quality I would like.

Caricature of Partner and Me

Here is a caricature of me and my partner David Cesario in ten head/shoulder with expressions and ten full body poses with expressions.
