In with the New

Some recent Christmas present projects. :)

First, for Mom,

Menolly (from Anne McCaffrey's Dragonsong trilogy) is her favorite character, so I decided to make her a bookmark featuring Menolly and her fire lizard Beauty.  I was a little unsure about the quality since I tried for a touch more realism than my usual style and went for really saturated colors, but Mom really loved it! She not only printed it as a bookmark, but she asked me to adjust the resolution so she could print it big.  She framed it and hung it over her desk! <3

For my brother Drew, who loves both World of Warcraft and The Legend of Zelda: the Windwaker,

His WoW gnome, Windwaker style!  This was lots of fun to draw, I really like drawing WoW characters even though their armor is always stupid-complicated.  I always have to end up simplifying it.

The fonts I used to mimic the Zelda logo can be found here: zeldauniverse.net

Creativity Project

For one of my classes I had to make something--anything I wanted, as long as it fell within the school's honor code.  This is by far the best hour I've spent on homework yet. :D

My scanner is not great and this came out of a thick sketchbook, so I apologize for the quality~
