Anyways, here are some selected artworks from the semester that just ended:
For the 3rd assignment for the Concept Art class, we were required to create a character that would fit into an environment chosen by our lecturer. I picked something that looked kinda steampunk as it was an area where I have not really explored. Came up with a few sketches, and she preferred this one. For the final illustration, I tried to imitate Dave Rapoza's method of rendering, with heavy emphasis on chiaroscuro.

The final assignment was to create a boss fight scene. There was no restriction for this assignment, and we could go for whatever style we fancied. And since I already did a 'realistic' boss battle scene, I decided to go for something more cartoony. I tried to keep the characters fairly simple in terms of design, choosing instead to focus on the composition and epic-ness (adding more than the stipulated requirement of at least 2 characters). In terms of style, I did not actively try to imitate anyone for this particular painting, choosing instead to fall back on what I've learned thus far. I wanted to illustrate the fun of playing an MMO with friends, and I hope I've achieved that.

The bulk of my time from the past semester was spent on 2 main modules. The 3D animation project and the sequential art class. And today, I am glad to present you the completed 16-page comic from the sequential art module. I took this project as a challenge to improve my painting speed and I'm glad that I could finish it on time.

This semester has not been exactly smooth sailing for me, but I'm happy to have made it through in one piece. Here's hoping things do improve next time around.
