Skool work...

Here are the two projects for my intro to computer graphics that made it up onto the wall at school:

 There was a certain number of objectives that I had to achieve for each of these.  The above was done entirely in illustrator.  I concentrated on using only a triadic color scheme due to the simplicity of the bird's coloring.

This project was done in photoshop.  I had to have at least ten images for this project, which for me felt a little too much and I would have had it a little more stripped down at points.  For the poster I ignored the triadic color scheme dropping the yellow for something a little more bold.

Mermaid Meat

I had a show a little while back, I think right before I started classes.
Again there were pretty girls, as I tend the female form over the male, but the main focus was Japanese goblins, or Yokai.  A secondary focus was kimonos and textile and the patterns they can create.  I mixed in some pop references for a little spice.
