Old sports car in perspective!

Last assignment before the end of the semester. We had to choose a car (I chose an old 1930's sports car), find its 2D design plans and make those 2D plans into 3D two point perspective. I had a lot of fun making this actually! I'm getting a lot more familiarized with Adobe Illustrator and it brings me back to old times in high school when we built structures in AutoCAD.

Here is my final illustration and the car's 2D plans used to create it are below.

Ancient Temple in Perspective

Here is an assignment where we had to make an ancient temple in perspective and illustrate it with line work only. I chose to make the temple with 3 point perspective and give it a serpent theme.

Starting with a floor plan the temple is crafted into something 3D using a perspective grid.

Then it's put into an illustration below.

Card Art!

Had to make an illustration for a game card as a last assignment in my Visual Dynamics course so I chose to make a World of Warcraft themed card. The card features two Orcs who represted the Horde faction. I learned a lot about lighting and colour on this piece however I still feel its lacking a bit in the composition and refinement!

Bog Creature!

This is what I made for a bog creature after a few weeks of refinement! Tried my best at making it an interesting composition and I learned a lot about lighting and shadow with this piece. Again, I had a lot of fun painting it and pretty happy with the result. Don't ask me what it is! Aha.

SPACE RACE - A modified board game!

For our Media Art class we had to take the board game "Candyland" (played that a TON when I was a kid) and re design all the art so it was a completely different theme. The subject matter was completely up to us so I chose to make it a space/sci-fi theme!

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and I had a lot of fun making all the assets. Below you can see the box art, game board, game cards and game pieces!

Summer Illustration Magazine Cover

Had to create a magazine cover where the theme was summer time. The lands are currently covered in snow! It is cold and not very inspiring. I immediately thought of what I don't have and that is warm sun and tasty barbecue! That's some pretty simple subject matter. Anyways, I think more than anything else I just wanted to paint something in the style of J.C. Leyendecker whose art I find incredibly inspiring. In that respect I think that I was only semi successful. I got some good feed back and I realize that if I want to make this more J.C. I have to have more dynamic clothes (folds and drama!) as well as even more brush strokes! 

In the end I had a good time painting this. There will definitely be more Leyendecker studies in the future.
