Duet

Lately the neighbors dog, and his neighbor have been singing to one another.



Whether it's during the day or late at night, they're constantly communicating. This gave me great inspiration for the word duet.

Toy

Ever gone through your old things and find an old toy that's been repaired?



This is my illustration for Illustration Friday.
I tried to depict a toy a young girl that used to carry it around with her constantly and had gone through many repairs.

Mohawk Community Builders

I want to create a logo of the Mohawk community "building" a home. Shown through making a puzzle.

Cultivate

I thought of farming when I saw the new word on Illustration Friday (cultivate). So I went with the stereotypical farmer, but made him more hick like.



I'm trying to find a good balance between realistic and cartoon. At the same time I'm trying to figure out my drawing style throughout all of these illustrations.

Stir

There have been a lot of natural occurrences going on, this made me think of more to come and storms stirring. I tried to make it look like it was just the beginning of a massive storm.



The funnel cloud in the sky is just starting to come from the clouds and the whirlpool in the sea has already begun.

Warning

I tried to incorporate a simple design with some detail to it. I couldn't really come up with many ideas for Warning, all I knew is that I wanted something humorous.

International Woman's Day

This illustration was created for International Woman's Day.
I used home pictures of my Mom and my family as reference. The final work has a 4" border with sticky notes about my Mom's life.



This image took several days to complete and I had asked for suggestions several times from my instructor Leif Peng. I think by the time I was satisfied with the look I had around 125 layers, I was afraid my Ps CS4 program was going to crash every time I made an adjustment to the illustration. All in all I think it turned out nicely and is a nice tribute to my Mother for Woman's Day.
