Couldn't Sleep

6 am sketch...

Character Design Project DONE

So this final project for 3D class was selected to be displayed at Best of Ringling 2013.  Next morning when they were arranging the show it got dropped... The person who dropped it fixed the smashed foot and I went over all the cracks and missing details in photoshop, that's why the foot is a different color. I didn't have time to paint it again.  So that's the story of this little guy...

Here's the narrative of the character though:

This little guy's name is Oe.  He is a Polynesian god who lives in a little island that's in the middle of the ocean, right below where the sun rises. You see Oe was a happy little god.  He helped the morning tide set in and he made it rain so the crops would grow.  His advisors the Tiki masks tell him what the Polynesian people are in need of, whether it's fishes, rain for the crops or wind to go sail and fish or travel with.  Oe provided these for them day by day.  However, these days Oe found out that the people didn't need his as much as they did before.  They had underground sprinkler systems and speedboats.  I f they couldn't catch enough fish to feed everybody, they imported it from somewhere else.  He felt useless and detached from the Polynesian people he loved so much.  So he created a hurricane one day and found out that everybody started talking about his creation.  He started creating more hurricanes and then floods and then tsunamis.  His advisors were not happy about this at all.  If Oe keeps on ignoring what he is actually worth to people (he is responsible for the rising sun and the flowing ocean), he will just end up hurting those he loves dearly.  All in expense to get some attention.

Oe translates to "you" in ancient Hawaiian language.

Fireflies.

For our animal + figure turn-in.

We needed to create a human and an animal that resembled each other...

Invented Domicile Assignment

The assignment was to pick a known fictional character and invent a room.  Room has to be personal such as their bedroom and the character cant be visible in the piece.


Who's room is this?

Brace yourselves,
Game of Thrones references are coming.

Daenerys Targaryen's tent.

Here's a shot of her (portrayed by Emilia Clark) from the show for anybody unacquainted with the series:

SAMBA!

Dogs are the best creature in the world!

Here's Tinker, a Boston Terrier, and Coda a... well we don't exactly know what breed she is.  Like it matters...

The story goes, we played tug of war and fetch for an hour straight.  They got tired, I didn't. So when both of them slumped on the couch for a snooze I took my sketchbook out and started to draw them in this very rare immobile state they were in.

Tinker was just resting his head on the edge of the couch and staring at me.  When I turned to her she started to sleepy close her eyes and I had to keep on tapping on her nose to make her open her eyes again.  I know not very nice, but I had already started drawing her.  I don't think she was too happy.

This is what came out of that...
