Final Portfolio




So, I feel that personally, mine is kinda redundant since 3 of the 4 final pieces were the last 3 posts that I did. Overall, I think that I have improved in my illustration skills, but I don't think that I am up to a professional level with my hand drawn stuff. In the end, vectoring saved my ass. It is still what I am best at as well as my favorite media. I think that I at least feel comfortable with most of the media now to fulfill a client's needs. AND I WILL NEVER WAKE UP FOR ANOTHER 7:30 CLASS IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!

1984 Book Cover

So, I'm super pleased with this. You can tell because it is only 9:46 and I am finished with it. I was trying to do a Russian constructivist style for the cover. I felt that I did this pretty well, especially since it is vectored. I do ever so love vectoring. The original intention was to airbrush this, making me the only person in the history of illustration who wanted to voluntarily do airbrush. So, I did the next best thing, try to make it look kinda airbrushed. Overall, I think I captured the book's subject, and I'm really happy with that.

World Record

It is a statistical fact that everyone, at one point in their life, has owned a shit green refrigerator. At some point, a guy decided to start throwing these... and thus a world record was born... This was the first vector that I was allowed to do for this class, so I milked it for all it was worth. I need to change the background color so that the guy pops more, but other than that, I am incredibly pleased with it, and I think that is the first time I have said that this whole class...
