Fall 2011 > AS:Proposals
This is an oil portrait I did of Mio Jane Sakuma. Mio is from the Sendai, Japan and spent a year with my family as a foreign exchange student with the YFU program (My senior year of high school, immediately following my own YFU adventure in Kumamoto, Japan) - essentially becoming one of my sisters. There was no under painting -finished in roughly three hours based off of a couple pictures of her...
November 2011 > Clarice
This is the character Clarice from the play "A Servant of Two Masters." She's supposed to be rather flat and one-dimensional (The Lady-in-love, but a superficial love) but I liked the idea of her "poofing" herself up to appear more substantial. I was inspired by a research paper I was writing on Japanese street fashion - particularly Visual Kei style, like the band Versailles - which led to researching Rococo revival. I enjoyed creating the turn around and the exaggerated expression which I accomplished via use of a mirror.

Fall 2011 > Card
SO...I have the amazing opportunity to go to CTN this year with my friends. (Most if not all linked under the Fellow Creatives section) I am really excited. Seriously. REALLY excited. I will get to be in the same room as Andreas Deja. I might get to meet Andreas Deja. I get all spastic giggly when I think about it. He is such an amazing animator/artist. ^^
Anyways, this is a painted-up version of a sketch I did for my current Directed Themes project - the character is Yang Guifei, one of the Four Beauties of Ancient China. (With a face so beautiful that it put flowers to shame) I'm using it as half of my business card for the CTN trip. Will no doubt change my card when I take all the final portfolio classes next semester...my last semester. ><
