Griffins

Hello! It's been a while since my last post, so I'm sorry. But I've been doing some work on griffins in class and I think you might enjoy seeing them. By the way, I don't know if this is what it will look like to you, but they come up as being blue on my screen. If you click on them to enlarge them, they look fine.


Hello! It's been a while since my last post, so I'm sorry. But I've been doing some work on griffins in class and I think you might enjoy seeing them.

The one that's standing on the hill I thnk I still need to work on, but the other one is coming along nicely.



This is my favorite, though. In a sense, I cheated because I traced the images in Illustrator from photographs of lions and eagles. This one's legs are from a Condor, while the other one is from a flying eagle. It wasn't too easy to find a decent picture of the legs.

Til next time, the new Library Assistant will sign off (oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I got a job!)

posting Legolas

This was done around the same time as Aragorn. Most of the comments on it are saying that he looks a lot more like Legolas than Orlando Bloom. I also did a portrait of Orlando Bloom for a friend.




When I can remember, I will change the file types of my schoolwork, so I'll be able to post it. I really like how the t-shirt came out. Until later!

Eowyn and Aragorn

They were a couple that Eowyn wished for until she met Faramir.  
Of course, Aragorn was many, many years her senior   :) 
I did Aragorn in January of '04, but I recently did Eowyn in Oct '05
for a lady at the library, Donna.  She now owns both pictures :)

Parchments

These are some of my parchments
that I do, for stationary or just to be pretty.  I have a series going right
now on mystical creatures.  I have unicorns, pegasus, and mermaids
at the moment.  It was actually a series of LotR pictures using runes
that evolved into this style.  I even have a "Where's Waldo" one in the
making!

Posting Portraits LOTR

I still have the original of this!


This picture is sitting on my dad's desk :)

Here are two pictures of Frodo.  It's hard to believe I did these three 
years ago!  The most recent LotR picture I have done is of Eowyn, 
which I need to scan in. 
You can also view some of my work (under Kamiyu) at
www.councilofelrond.com as well as many other talented artists.
right now I am waiting for lunch, so I suppose I should post some more.
I actually still have some of my stuff at deviantart.com still, though I
haven't posted in years!

School

I have recently transferred to a real 
college, instead of a community college, and am now in the 
Bachelor program for Visual Communications, aiming for a 
BA in 3D animation.  :)
The classes move really fast, as each one is only five weeks 
long.  I should be done by spring 2009, just in time for my
24th birthday.    ^.^
It's really fun at school except for my last teacher.  We kinda
got on each other's nerves, I think.
I have been drawing on the computer since Newsroom, in
about 1989? when we got our first computer.  I then moved
up to VGA paint.  When we finally got Windows, I had to
learn all about Microsoft Paint.  Now I use Paint Shop Pro 7,
Adobe Photoshop, and am in a class for Adobe Illustrator,
tho it is almost exactly like Photoshop.
Soon, I will be in the animation classes!  I have already had
two at the community college I went to.  They were the
basics for 3DS Max and XSI.  Can't wait to learn more!!




Thank you for viewing!  Next I shall post my portraits.

First Picture

Here is a try at posting my first picture.  :)   Her name is Mayuka and she is from the second Tenchi Muyo! anime movie.  I drew her on paper, then scanned it in and touched it up on the computer using Paint Shop.

My first post

This is a blog dedicated to my art, which people have been saying I 
should do.  
So, here it is!  I will be posting pictures soon.
