Another Digital Portrait

This is my second attempt at making a realistic drawing of a good friend and classmate of mine. I still find issues like painting skin tone and the position of a light source to be a tricky bussiness, but ultimately I like how it turned out. Please feel free to leave a comment, and any advice that anyone could give is welcome as always :)

Have a Good One,

Poetry Club T-Shirt Design

This a design for the T-shirt that my school's poetry club will be making next year. Our club president told me to make this illustration, and I really hope our school will allow for something like this.

Don't Mess With the Dark-Side

This is an illustration I did for the art blog Sugar Frosted Goodness. The weekly theme was "Electric", and being that I'm a HUGE Star Wars nerd, I automatically thought of that cool thing The Emprorer did with the lightning shooting out of his hands. I was really excited that I was invited to participate on SFG since it introduces me to other talented artists such as you guys. Please tell me what you think of it, and don't hesitate to give me any helpful advice you'd like to throw my way.

All the Best,

Dandelion Tamer

Where are the wild things? My backyard that's where... wild dandelions, that is. I've had a BIG dandelion problem this spring, and nothing seems to tame these beasts. I've tried weed killers, lopping off their heads, and pulling them out by the roots, but they just keep coming back. It's a jungle back there... just ask Rover.

robert lees

Robert Lees began his career as a screenwriter in the middle 1930s. He wrote several screenplays for the "Crime Does Not Pay" short subject series produced by MGM Studios and based on real-life crimes. He graduated to science fiction and ultimately wrote for Abbott and Costello, penning screenplays for five of the comedy team's films, including the classic "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein". In the early 1950s, Lees' career was virtually destroyed when he was put on the Hollywood blacklist by movie studio bosses during the McCarthy Era for alleged Communist activities. As a result of his blacklisting, he submitted manuscripts under the pseudonym "J. E. Selby." After regaining his good name, he wrote for episodic television, including "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", "Gunsmoke" and "Land of the Giants", among many others.

On June 13, 2004, one month shy of Lees' ninety-second birthday, a 27 year-old homeless meth addict named Keven Graff broke into Lees' home. Looking for money, Graff attacked Lees and decapitated him. Graff left Lees' home, carrying Lees' severed head, and broke into a neighboring house. Dr. Morley Engleson, Lees' 69 year-old neighbor was on the telephone with Southwest Airlines, making a plane reservation. Graff attacked Engleson, stabbing him in the neck and killing him. The ticketing agent heard the attack through the phone and contacted police. Graff stole Engleson's 2001 Mercedes-Benz and left the scene before police arrived. During a search of Engleson's house, police discovered Lees' severed head lying on a bed. Lees' longtime girlfriend discovered Lees' headless body, covered by blankets, in his bedroom five hours later.

The following day, Graff caught the attention of security guards at the gates of Paramount Pictures when he began behaving erratically; talking to himself and yelling at passing cars. One security guard identified Graff from a picture that was shown on a televised news conference about the double murders, and he phoned police. When questioned about the crimes, Graff claimed he was high on methamphetamine and Ecstasy the night before and had no memory of committing the murders.

In February 2008, Graff pleaded guilty to ten felonies for the murders of Lee and Engelson. He was sentenced to two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole.

I don't really like spiders. (Frankly, they give me the creeps.) However, this little lady prefers slick spiders over mild-mannered worms. She has a thing for bad boys.

The Itsy Bitsy spider went up the water spout!

Spider Illustration

I finished my 'Spider' Illustration. I really challenged myself on this one. I'm trying to create more complete scenes including the main subject, secondary characters, background elements, lighting etc. I also tried to do a more painterly-style as well instead of my usual vector art. It was much harder and more frustrating to move out of my comfort zone. I'm happy with the result but I need more practice with this type of illustration.

Let me know what you like or (even what you don't).

Spider!!

Nevermore

This is a piece of art that I made to pay homeage to Edgar Allen Poe's greatest poetic work (and my personal favorite) "The Raven". It was part of a poetry project that my english class assigned, and my English teacher said that our class could make a creative work as a bonus. I was really excited to that I could make something for such a great poem. If you've never read it, you can view it here:

spider

The Monday Artday challenge word this week is "spider".

After finishing 5th in the slalom at the 1968 Winter Olympics, charismatic skier Spider Sabich joined the World Cup circuit for several seasons. He turned professional after the 1970 season. Pro ski racing had just completed its first season, and was conducted in a dual slalom format, with racers going head-to-head in elimination heats.

Sabich helped popularize skiing in the U.S. in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was the inspiration for the 1969 film Downhill Racer, starring Robert Redford. Sabich won the pro championship in 1971 & 1972. Although the prize money was modest, endorsements contracts followed. This pushed his annual income well over $100,000 and allowed him to move from Boulder to the ski resort of Aspen in 1971. While chasing rival skier Jean-Claude Killy for the 1973 title, Sabich incurred a back injury on the final weekend of the season at Aspen Highlands. In the semifinals of the giant slalom, he hurtled over the second jump at 50 mph and caught his arm on a gate, somersaulted and landed on his back. He struggled to stand up, but was too stunned to walk and was hospitalized. Sabich was out of the next day's slalom, and Killy won the season title in his only season on the pro tour.

Late in the afternoon of March 21, 1976, Sabich had returned from a day of skiing and was preparing to shower. He was fatally shot in the bathroom of his home by his live-in girlfriend, singer-actress Claudine Longet, ex-wife of singer Andy Williams. She claimed the gun discharged accidentally, as he was showing her how it worked. He was hit in the abdomen and lost a significant amount of blood before the ambulance arrived. He died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, with Longet at his side. Spider Sabich was 31 years old.

Longet was charged with reckless manslaughter, however she was convicted of a lesser charge, criminally negligent homicide, a misdemeanor. Longet was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but allowed to serve the time at her convenience. She served her sentence three months later, following a vacation with her married defense attorney. After the criminal trial, the Sabich family initiated civil proceedings to sue Longet. The case was eventually resolved out of court, with the proviso that Longet never tell or write about her story.
