This is my final illustration for the Comic Con Challenge that was on gameartisans.org! For the contest I had to take a comic book character and put it into a different time period. I chose Jiraiya from Naruto and made him into a knight.

This is my final ortho for the Comic Con Challenge that was on gameartisans.org! For the contest I had to take a comic book character and put it into a different time period. I chose Jiraiya from Naruto and made him into a knight.

Below are some of my preliminary sketches of this character.




When drawing these I was thinking about how I could keep the essential parts of the character relatively the same but change them to fit this different era. Jiriaya is a summoner who summons frogs so I tried to incorporate that into the design. I added frogs on the helm, chest and knees. I also tried to keep the overall shape of the character the same and just add elements of medieval armor.]]> Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:34:55 +0000 http://hatonacat.cgsociety.org/gallery/773515

his is a painting I did for Bobby Chiu and Kei Acedera's Art Contest. For it I painted a kid dressed up as a fish with a bunch of different aquatic animals around him. The idea was that he dressed up as a fish so that he would be able to talk to all of them.

This piece is based off of Bobby Chiu's "Whaleboy" and Kei Acedera's "How I wonder" and "The Jellies - sketch"

It was a fun project, I had fun messing with the color influences and different brushes.

This is a painting of Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo that I did for Draw Sucka Draw's Food Fight competition. I was going for more a cleaner look for the characters while leaving the background more painterly. I did a rough sketch of this first in acrylic paint and then went in and really defined the forms in photoshop.

I got the idea for this painting from the song Blake's got a New Face by Vampire Weekend. I had the idea that his new face was worse than before. ]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2008 11:58:32 +0000 http://hatonacat.cgsociety.org/gallery/707077

This is a painting I did for a holiday card. I painted this with red and green and was going for more holiday colors. The background was done in a painterly style by the showing the strokes and drips while having the Santas more solid. ]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2008 20:00:52 +0000 http://hatonacat.cgsociety.org/gallery/754798
