Digital Ink and Paint

Our instructor taught this class like concept art class.  It was nice to know that digital painting uses the much of the same methods and techniques as traditional painting.  Its not really cheating, just more forgiving. 

This was our second assignment.  He taught us how to do hair and skin pores (though the pores I never got to).  I decided to do one of the characters for the game I am working on.

Visual Development

In our visual development class we designed backgrounds and characters for a book that we read as if it was going to be turned into a movie.  My book was DragonSpell by Donita K. Paul.  You can check out her site http://www.donitakpaul.com/ 
This is a design for a cave the characters go through. It is covered with a lot of tiny glowing blue rocks.
A hulking shadowy swamp creature called a Mordakleep.  It has a very long rope like tail that disappears into the water.
A dim witted ogre like creature called a Grawlig.
The senile bog wizard, Fenworth.
