Pumpkin Dinners, and Parallel Dimensions

Time for another update on College work. The education scene is going smoothly thus far, and I have a few new pieces to present.

So let's get right down to it, shall we?


The first is our first project using markers and colored pencils together to color a piece. We got two objects that had complimentary colors and put them in a still life scene, drew them, then colored them. I found that halfway through the project, I was slapping on colored pencils with abandon, not really worried what the final outcome would look like, and my professor claims that the more colors that are present, the richer the color is. So I guess my recklessness payed off.


Next, I revisited my Age inking you've seen before and did a little preparatory project. This time around, we used various shades of gray markers to map out the shading and shadow casting of our cities. I found that it was pretty intuitive once you've picked out where the light source is. That may be a side effect of having done 3D modeling in the past. In any case, this was very helpful to look at when I was actually doing the big project...


Here it is, the big project! A full colored and shaded version of my Age inking. I decided that the best kind of light source for a Myst-ish scene would be sunset, and I used my old Shizukeza piece as reference for the colors. It was very helpful. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the water to look like WATER, but I think it at least is distinct from the sky.

Anyway, please enjoy, critique, and discuss. :D
