Journal Cover

I've been super excited to do the cover of my journal because it gave me a chance to use the technique I developed to make metallic looking pins (I was selling them at the Fair) to a new venue. I created a low relief out of skulpy, painted it black and wiped it down with a silver tarnish. Turned out great, it actually says the title of the journal on it too (it surrounds the face).


Detail-


Journal Entry "X3"

A possible T-shirt design, not sure if everyone will get the math joke though.

Journal Entry "Parcian"

I used to draw these robotic dragons in Middle School I called "Parcians". I even colored them in MS Paint, wish I had an example. I tried drawing an updated version and I think it turned out rather well.

Journal Entry "Giant Mask"

Another mask for my Professor

Journal Entry "Cleopatra"

I noticed that some of the ink bleed from the markers I was using looked pretty cool so I tried to intentionally utilize it.

Here is the original marker work-


And finally the marker bleed with some pen work-

Journal Entry "Sludge Dragon"

It's interesting how many cultures have dragon-like creatures. I was drawing this while selling shirts and jewelry at the Denver County Fair and a little kid suggested he be a sludge dragon.
