La Llegada

La Llegada

This will be my final piece as a graphics student. Next year I will be pursuing an Honors Independent Studies Architecture class. Iv'e came along way from my first day of graphics to now. I remember my first week when I genuinely wanted to quit and today I'm happy I didn't. I won some awards, made some new friends, and learned a lot. Below is the first piece I made and above is my final piece, a long way.

Rendering

Rendering

This is a rendering of the living room in the house I've been working on this week. It's not finished yet but I still have time to finish. I'm not really done with the house yet but I really wanted to try my hand at rendering images of the house. When I shadowed at the RRW Architecture Firm I learned that a good way to present a design is to take an image of it and render it. I actually got to watch someone render a design when I was there and he did use Photoshop (which is what I'm using). I like the idea of rendering the design in Photoshop because it really allows you to make the image a lot more appealing.

Blade Fin

This is the final product of the project we recently finished which was to create a superhero. My superhero is Blade, sort of a ninja. I changed what I originally wanted his superpowers to be from mowing lawns to kicking butt with ninja skills. The face is actually a student in my class who gave me permission to use his picture. I myself am pretty happy with the finished product. Although I'm calling it finished any piece could use a little work so I might make adjustments in the future.

Superhero

Superhero

This is the superhero that I am working to create. His name is Blade and he mows lawns. It's not the most flashy super power but maybe the most helpful. He can fly through the air at a super speed and with his samurai swords slice any lawn to an even height in less than ten seconds. He helps any lawn in need. Crabgrass or sod he cuts it all, if you need a mower give Blade a call.

Vectors Finished

Vexel Finished

This is my vexel piece all done with all the adjustments made. It turned out pretty cool and I'm definitely happy about the result. Now I'm back to working with Archicad and doing what I like best. Im currently trying to, not recreate, but follow the images I saw of a house recently in the Architectural Digest. It's gong well and not to brag but I feel like I'm getting pretty good.

Vectors

Vectors

This week our project is to create a self portrait using vectors. It looks like a simple picture yet it takes a bit of work. I really like the "cartoonish" look the piece has also. It's a very cool way to create a self portrait. The project is due on Tuesday and I hope to be finished by today. 

No Nukes

No Nukes

This week I am finishing up a .gif animation Iv'e been working on for a week. It's an animation on nuclear warfare and what I'm saying is it shouldn't be allowed. It isn't allowed to begin with but I'm just agreeing. Of course this wouldn't happen in the real world, it's just a dramatization to persuade people of my idea.
