Hello! This is a sort of WIP for my Illistration final. 

Now the painting is technically finished, but it’s only half of the project. The second half of the project is to DESTROY the painting, and re-paint it!😱 I’m actually not sure if that’ll be hard though, I don’t feel terribly attached to this piece. Frankly I feel I could use the practice! Have you guys ever done a project like this before? Was it hard to destroy your work? Did the reconstructed piece come out better? Comment and let me know!

I also did a few color/ composition studies that I like better than the finished product.

Heya all you beings out there! Today I’d like to showcase what I’ve been doing in my Bookbinding class this year! Bit of a warning, this is going to be a long post as I’m hoping to show off a few of my favorite books in detail.

First off we have “Bonsai”, an album style binding bound with wire. Inside there are illustrations of the progress of a bonsai that I actually own!

This one might be my favorite! “The Golden Record” is an accordion\maze style book with a wrap around cover. The cover is made of images that can be found on the golden records onboard Voyagers 1 and 2.

Inside is the story of an intelligent race that finds a Voyager and its record! The alien writing is my interpretation of my friend @thevantom ‘s conlang. This is an old version of the conlang, it’s much better now!  Thanks Vantom for letting me use it!

Since the book isn’t actually bound to it’s cover, you can completely unfold it to reveal a picture of the Voyager!

A close second for me is “Om Nom Nom”, a French doors/ album binding.

The pages overlap to make it look like the dragons are noming the food!

Next we have I tiny little paperback Japanese stab binding which I call “ How to Make a Japanese Stab Binding”!

I even decorated the bookmark with a mini book for extra mettaness!

Lastly we have an accordion concertina binding, “Aztec Deities”.

WOW! Did you read this entire thing? Thank you very much, and have a great day you wonderful sapient thing you!

Oh no, incoming ink bust dump! featuring Hank Green ( @edwardspoonhands ), a couple of my characters in flower crowns (and also a quote from one of my professors), Dendy form OK K. O. ! Let’s be Heroes with more Kappa-like features because I need more Japanese mythology in my life, and a bunch of people names Susan because my Illustration professor said so!

Woo!

“'Nerdwingia the Turtle Tamer”

After watching Markiplier play “West of Loathing” I decided to try “Kingdom of Loathing”. While It’s not quite as funny or well done as “West of Loathing”, it’s still a pretty good time.

For those of you who don’t know, “Kingdom of Loathing” and “West of Loathing“ are stick figure RPGs with pretty absurdist humor. If you feel like you’d like that sort of thing, check it out. I just had a strong urge to draw my character for some reason.

“Ominous”, “Tense”, “'Mournful”

Ooohh wow this is a weird piece! This is a class assignment in which we had to use black, white, gray, and an object to express different moods.

Also, my object is not in fact, a slice of pizza, or a tortilla chip, but a pig scapula that I found in a closet. That’s art school for you. 

By the way, repeatedly drawing inanimate objects is really boring. When you’re bored you come up with really crazy stuff. So, if you care to know, the character depicted in the three pieces above is named Stew, and he is a primordial, eldrich spirit who exists in a vast, mostly empty spirit plane. 

So there's that.

also it’s ink, and October, so I’m tagging it Inktober. I do what I want.

This is a creature concept for my project, “The Miracle Effect”. I call these creatures ”Swamp Deer”. 

In the world of “'The Miracle Effect”, a magical force has begun to transplant genes from one species to another. These are the descendants of modern white-tailed deer. They are adapted to the swampy landscape of The Waterlogged Wastes, with trunks for snorkeling and reaching food, and extra long legs for wading. Some of them ( the ones shown on the bottom) have been domesticated as beasts of burden.

“Agitation”, “Melancholy” , “Intimidation”

Hey, hey, it’s a triple piece!

This was a class assignment where we had to use an ink drawing of an object to convey different moods.

“Snowdrops”

For a cool person!
