Crafts

I haven't really been slacking. I made this last week as a possible image for an album cover. The band ended up making their own cover but I like it so I thought I'd share anyways!

New Design

We got a new TV yesterday. Not totally sure what this is though. Maybe a poster or a book cover...

Weekly Photography

This one's going to be a two parter. I've been severely slacking in my photography over the past year but I recently had an idea that just had to be shot. Lucky for me, it turned out just like I imagined it. The idea was to take two sets of the same model in the same location, one during the day and one at night. Here's some highlights from the day time set. Tomorrow I will upload several from the night set.

Alright, so here is our first weekly design. To tell you the truth though, I feel as though something is missing or off here...any suggestions for improvement would be most welcome!

Priorities

As you may have noticed, my new job is making it rather difficult for me to get designs done every day. So I have an idea. Instead of daily designs, for the next little while, I'm going to be trying out weekly designs. There are both good and bad points to this. The bad is that we won't have an enthralling new design every day. The good is that I'll be able to put a lot more time and effort into each design so there will be a definite increase in quality. So let's see how this goes. I'll post the new weekly design every Saturday. But keep your eyes peeled in the mean time, because there might still be some bonus daily designs during the week.

I am pretty darn pleased with how today's design turned out. Inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Hork-Bajir

So here's another Animorphs inspired piece, this time of the peaceful Hork-Bajir climbing the enormous trees of it's home world. I guess it's sort of a companion image to the Andalite one that I did a few weeks back:

Alrighty. Here's yesterday's design:

Scorpion Rough

I was really annoyed at how bad the scan was and thus was too embarrassed to put it up just like this. So for today's design, I decided to redo the image digitally. I believe it is an improvement.

Jeesh, I sure have been getting behind lately. I did end up seeing Men Without Hats last night but the crowd was made up far less of teenage girls and far more of middle aged men, which made getting a good shot pretty tricky, what with the height discrepancy and all. So. Here is yesterday's design:

I just noticed that the colours seem to have shifted somewhere along the way, there was a lot more detail in his jacket before...
This isn't supposed to be anything in particular, I was just messing around in Illustrator.

And here's today's design:

Land of Talk

So this is actually yesterday's design, (photography is part of design right??) but due to technical difficulties I'm just able to post it now. Stars and Land of Talk did a free show at Dundas Square last night as part of NXNE so I thought I would bust out my long dormant camera and see what was up. The quality isn't the greatest since it was getting dark and I was a good hundred meters from the stage but it didn't turn out too badly. Devo and Men Without Hats are playing tonight so if I have time there might be a photo or two from that up within the next few days. In the mean time, I'm going to finish up today's design.

Practical Daily Design

Alright so after hours and hours of tossing ideas around and seeing what happens, I think I finally have a business card. Any constructive criticism is welcome of course.

Business Card

Not Being Lazy

So there's no daily design today and there's a reason for that. I've been spending a lot of time today coming up with a business card, and it's been a bit tougher than I thought. I really want to come up with something interesting. So, that said, hopefully sleeping on it will help, and I'll be back with a new daily design tomorrow. To tide you over, here's a t-shirt design I did a while back.

I always admire typography but my mind doesn't usually think in letters. Last night as I was going to bed, however, this idea just popped into my head.

Daily Design Plus

Alright, sorry for the lack of designs for the past few days, we have been very busy doing some home improvement in our new apartment. So let's get up to speed here.

Here is today's design, just a concept painting for a creature I made up.

Creature Concept

And to make up for the other two days I'm going to post some older work that has not been posted on my blog before. It may not be brand new but I hope you enjoy it.

This one is an illustration I did for illustration Friday a ways back. The word was surrender.

Surrender

And here's an illustration I did last winter for a friend of mine.

Deja-vu

So now that we're all caught up it will be back to the daily schedule. Thanks for your patience!

Today's design is also my contribution to Illustration Friday. This week's word is 'shadows'. And yes I realize this isn't an illustration. Shush.

The Andalite

Although it's written for children, Animorphs is easily one of my favourite science fiction series. In fact, it tackles a lot of heavy themes like death, the morality of war, child soldiers and sacrifice for a great cause.
