A Comic!

This is my contribution to this year's PaperRoots Anthology; a collaborative project by Sheridan Illustration students who every year, make a comic around a certain one-worded theme. This year's theme is "swallow". It's a cool word.

Morning sketch

The monk wondered what it felt like to sit on a western toilet. Maybe not so bad?

landscape studies

Doodling around with landscape stuff, from photo reference. I'm new to this area of painting, so I'm just seeing what I can learn without any formal approach for now. All photoshop.

Character Sketch

More on this to come:)

midnight sketch

My boy Leo said he looks like  Cthulu worshiper. So let's go with that.

He looks like he's trying to fart.

squirrels

Two squirrel studies, because... i like squirrels.

That's it for now.

New Yorker - Monocle Man Redux

New Yorker. Postcard size.

fresh new stuff

Newest work for a class of mine, pencil and illustration board + digital.
Comments and/or silent viewing equally welcome.

After Effects doodle

Final assignment for my 2nd year electronic media class, in Sheridan's illustration program.
Done in Photoshop + AfterEffects.
Essentially just an animated diorama, more about learning the software rather than learning how to be an animator. First time attempting any sort of animation, nonetheless!

-P.S.

Wine Bottle renderings

Finished 3D render of my previous "crow's nest" post!
Also, a quick little contextual scene with some mini-pirates.
They love fermented grapes so much they sometimes just dive into the bottle until they dissolve and become one with the wine....
-P.S. (poor sailor)

late night ridiculous time

This sketch is called "lazy". For how i feel right now. Or more like sloppy. Anyway... it doesn't make sense because I never watch actual television anymore (or no one under 30 does probably) but ooowelll.

Wine branding

We've got a project in one of my classes the involves designing a wine brand and label (that includes inventing a name too). So, the made up story for "crow's nest" is that it comes from the vineyards on Vancouver Island, which apparently has lots of crows, or at least a few. And of course, Vancouver has a long history of trade via its huge sea port etc/., so the image of a ship fits the region pretty snug. Eventually this will be mapped onto a 3D model, put in a minimal environment and rendered, so there's more to come.
