Gun Guy Illustration Tweaks

Got a few comments from my illustration teacher and other artists about some fixes. The one I'm happiest about is changing the gun handle size, it really helps the composition and looks better. That change came from my illustration teacher. Also darkened the gun trigger a bit to keep the gun more seperate.

Geodude:

Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them. The longer a Geodude lives, the more its edges are chipped and worn away, making it more rounded in appearance. However, this Pokemon's heart will remain hard, craggy, and rough always.

This piece was done for a tattoo parlor / art gallery called Oddity on main street in downtown Sarasota. They were having a Video games show about 2 summers ago, this one managed to make it in.

I don't completely remember the process though, it was an odd mix of oils and acrylics layered on top of each other many times. It's also pretty big, two feet by two feet. At least big by the sizes I usually work in.

Almost Final Ill

So this is almost the final for the gun obsessed guy illustration. I still might try to find a way to and some color in there, but it gets tricky when I already add most of the value with the inking.

Card Layout + Corporate Identity

Heres some rough concepts for my letterhead, porftolio page and envelope design. Not really sure about them, they'll definetely go through alot more change before final.





And here's a basic rough layout of what my business card might look like. I'm trying to keep it really simple and informative. Just stick to the basics.

start of a new ill

This is the start of a new illustration. We had to come up with a drawing to illustrate a story, It's kinda long so I can't really go into alot of detail. The gist of it is about a father and a son's relation ship that focused around hunting and the father's obsession with guns. And there's a divorce, they grow apart and the dad kills himself. Kid inherets all the guns, regrets their relationship and goes a little nuts. Something along those lines, hope i didn't spoil the story for anyone.

So my original idea was going to be a small silhouette of the son walking into the woods with his rifle while in the background the a huge looming profile of his dad which is made out of guns. In the end my teacher decided that the face made out of guns was a strong enough image to stand on its own.

Here's the base ink drawing of the dad.

And here's a rough test of how I might incorporate the guns into his head. It's too subtle though. I'm going to try and look for ways to convert larger shapes on the face into gun form.
