At The Crossroads Of Hell

Lone Wolf and Cub litho. I marathoned all the movies in two days.

Human After All

Daft Punk litho print. It's mostly tousche (toushe? tooshe? D : ) washes.

The Bodyguard

Final illustration for Illustration 3. The project was to create a DVD cover for the movie Yojimbo. I am very satisfied with how this came out, and it was a lot of fun to paint.

Medium used was acrylic on Illustration board.

It's getting so cold here, I've been listening to the song "Konayuki" on repeat. I want to eat lamb tikka masala with hot milk tea.

Chan Is Missing

I really like this film. I saw it today, and it's now one of my favorite movies. The film takes place mostly around 1980s SF's Chinatown, specifically Grant Ave. Two Asian-American cab drivers find themselves embroiled in a mystery when a friend of theirs, Chan, disappears with their money--but do they really know who Chan is?

Here is a bit of the movie.

The trailer for this film is as elusive as Chan himself, so this is the next best thing.

Scraps of illustration board, pen, pencil, yellow highlighter.

Skin

Spot and frontspiece illustration for Roald Dahl's short story Skin. These are the most flat, most abstract pieces I've ever done for illustration. I seem to be going in this direction, and I don't know what I think about that yet. Maybe I should see how it goes...although it doesn't "feel" like me at the moment.

Final Illustration #9

Book cover project, The Old Man and the Sea. I'm getting there, my professor says--the only things that really need fixing are the shakiness of the lines here and there, and that annoying tangent where the boat is floating right above the marlin's fin.

Illustration Project Final #8

Ridaaaaaaaaaaa....Henshin!

Most. Favorite. Assignment. Ever.

For this one, we had to draw a portrait of someone, anyone, anyone at all--and then this would be used as a promo piece for places we would like to work at. My professor suggested that instead of one rider I have a whole bunch of riders posing, since I wanted to do this in a sort of sequential manner...since I plan to go into comics. Acrylic and ink.

Edit: cleaned it up a bit here and there, re-uploaded.
