CandyArt.org is a website I started to showcase video game characters and other artwork made from candy, such as Skittles and York Pieces. You can submit your own to the gallery by visiting the website.
This was my Adobe Illustrator class Final project. I put to use a new featured I have recently learned - the mesh tool. I traced over a photo of Michael Jackson and recreated everything in vector graphics. The space background is also created the same way. Due to it being vector, I could blow up his eye the size of the screen and put in very fine details. I also wanted it to still maintain an artistic look, so some of his jacket and other parts are smooth, digital looking.
This was an assignment for my Adobe Illustrator college class. We were given a list of ideas to could choose from and asked to create one using the techniques we had learned. I saw "Monkey Madness" on the list. So I took the chance to do a DK tribute!
I scanned a concept sketch I did in pencil and used it as reference. I also studied many ape pictures to create the figures.
This is my first full digital art painting with Photoshop CS3. It took 5 days to design and finish. I looked at references to create the scene. The original size is 11x14" at 300 dpi. Everything was done with a mouse. I do not own a tablet.
These are 3D game cartridges for Atari, NES, SNES, and Genesis. I made them with Adobe Illustrator for a school project, which was a Flash website of our choice. I chose to make one about collectible vintage video games. I am also using the images for personal projects. This picture displays some extremely rare games, some of which only a few copies exist in the world.
We got the chance in my Illustrator class to create anything we wanted with the program. I had been thinking of doing AVGN fanart for a while, so this is what I made for class.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind was the first anime I ever watched, back around 1989-1992. I can't remember an exact date. I must have been around 5 years old. I knew it by its American title, "Warriors of the Wind". I drew this with a Wacom Bamboo in Photoshop.
A digital painting I did of Claudio Sanchez, singer of the band Coheed and Cambria. In it he is performing in front of the fantasy world he has created, in which the story of the band's music revolves. Created in Photoshop with a Bamboo Tablet.
This is my first full digital painting using my new Wacom Bamboo Tablet & Photoshop. It's Gray Fox from Metal Gear Solid, scoping out the REX, preparing for an epic fight. Later in the game, he attaches a gun to his arm to help Solid Snake. Check out the game on PS1 or GameCube (Twin Snakes) if you have never played it.
I did this with a colored sharpie set I got at Target, on sale for $5, on a pure white JanSport backpack, which I tore the logo off. I spent about 4 days designing and drawing.
I drew these in 2010 with $2 chalk from Walmart, on a pathway people jog/bike on, to make it look like Mario characters where racing down it. I would have done more but I ran out of chalk. They measure about 5x5 feet.
I had to rush Yoshi at the end because some tweakers started bothering me and hitting rocks with sticks like golf balls over the drawing. Also someone skid through Mario's face before I could get my camera, so I had to fix it.
I got many compliments, mostly people just yelled "MARIO!!!!!1!11" as they rode by. But everyone seemed to be stumped on who Yoshi was.
