Intergalactic Throwdown Chef!

An 'adventurer' character and some props made for my Character Design class. I would imagine her to be a pretty blustery and unapologetically victorious little kid because she is DAMN GOOD; when your opponent has automatic salt and fresh pepper grinders built into her forearm gizmos you know it's business time. Her adventures consist of hitchhiking from galaxy to galaxy challenging all manner of alien species to throwdowns of the edible kind. I'm going to keep working with her and other characters in her story throughout the semester so there will be more to come!

Props

Some concept props for an imaginary video game based off of the Lion King... in spaaaaaace! Looking back I wish I had drawn more tables. Oddly enough I got most of my table inspiration from Firefly - I had never looked too closely at the props in that show, and now it's all I can do whenever I watch it. Especially the tables, because they are damn gorgeous.

The Jungle Book

Mowgli defends himself from the rats - er, wolves! I mean wolves. 

This one needs a bit of work still, but if I don't post it now I never will! I hope ya'll enjoy the derpy man-monkeys as much as I do. 

I get the feeling I will forever be doing illustrations of The Jungle Book, and for a good reason - it's an amazing story. Hopefully this means I will also get better at drawing animals that look like the animals they're supposed to be. Practice practice practice!

Buried Alive!

For an assignment based off of a Reader's Digest story about - you guessed it - being buried alive.
