Another assignment for our Drawing 2 class at Ringling College: Inventive Domicile of a Known Character.
We had to create a visually sophisticated environment that a viewer would easily associate as a place of residence of a well known fictional character. This is a location that could have easily fit into a world that has been envisioned for a feature film or popular game but just didn’t make it into the final product.
For the 3D Design class at Ringling College I created a miniature room (1:12 scale). This room was once an old factory that got reclaimed and transformed into a modern office. Some old elements, such as the concrete pillars were kept to create an interesting visual contrast to the new elements. Rumors have it, that this is Cave Johnson’s office where he first designed technology for Aperture Science.
For one of the classes at Ringling College we had to take a blueprint of a building and draw it in two point perspective. Through the use of value and color we created temperature shifts that give the painting a certain mood and a greater sense of three-dimensionality.
For the beginning of Spring Break I wanted to relax a little bit and do some speed paintings. I really enjoyed just playing around with different things in Photoshop.
For Figure Drawing class we did a study of folds in clothing from a movie still of Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man’s Chest. I also added some more gestural drawings. As usual charcoal on newsprint.
For our 3D Design class at Ringling College we had to create abstract chess pieces that represent their abilities on the board.
The first semester of my Game Art and Design course is over. So far I really enjoyed it here and I learned a lot. Here are some projects I was working on. The first one is the final project of our 2D Design class which is mainly focused on composition. We created the representational based on a abstract version.
In the past few weeks we worked on anatomy studies. We took figure drawings with focus on proportions and overlaid them with drawings of a skeleton and the muscle structure.
Some new drawings directly out of Ringling College of Art and Design. This time mostly long studies.
