What time is it?

Ive decided to get back into 3d stuff lately. Right now im working on finn from adventure time. aiming for a semi realistic style, trying to have him fit into a game like soul calibur or zelda. His current design is somewhat influenced by link. so far i like where this is heading.

Portal Poster

Starting working on a poster design for a favorite game of mine, Portal.

Redesign - Part 1

There are some(a.k.a Most) days when in between job searching, I like to design fresh new work for my portfolio. Other days I go back and look at my older works and decide, hey I can do that particular project better. today was one of those days. Im beginning a new calendar series for the 2012 year, to replace the one on my website. like they say out with the old and in with the new.

So far I have five designs that are further than the rest and what I would call near final.

Identity part 2.

Here's a mockup i made for sharpe sports featuring the letterhead, business card, and business envelope.

A Business Identity.

Starting work on some business identity and logo design. seeing as my portfolio is lacking in that area. This first set is for a sports equipment and apparel manufacturer, like Under Armour or Nike. The business' name I came up with is Sharpe Sports.

The logo.

An alternate color scheme for the logo.


A Business Card.


A letterhead.


and lastly, the color scheme.

Legend of Zelda movie poster

If ever there was a video game that I wish would be made into a movie, it is The Legend of Zelda. Here's a design in progress for a movie poster for The legend of Zelda, I'm thinking about doing multiple designs with this one. Could be fun!

8 bits

Designed this for a friend who loves 8 bit video games. Wanted me to design a poster for him.

more fun with 3d!

starting another design, ive decided to do a series using various 3d shapes and experimenting with render settings for the designs. Here's the beginnings of a second one. similar setup to the original, but using a cloth sim and faceted material.

Inside my latest design.

just thought I'd show off a bit of what went into my latest design. you may notice I tagged it with a 3d studio max label. I actually created the crystal background in 3dmax using using a super spray emitter in max, with cubes as particles, some fiddlan in the mat editor and a very wide angle on a standard max camera, Scanline renderer. and the result was what you see in my first post titled "something".

Something, again.

Once again changed direction with this design. Calling it near final.

Something...

Been a while since i did any design work, been busy with the summer job and what have you. here's something I started today.

Old school.

Here's something I found while looking through an old flash drive. I played football in college, and my coach asked me to design our 2009 Homecoming t-shirt, and you don't say no to your coach.
Both the front and back of the shirt were done entirely in illustrator.

The Front.


And the Back.

Some Personal Promotion

Updating my personal business cards. I like having multiple variations, probably gonna cost extra for that. haha

Wallpaper

Working on a wallpaper for my desktop; I started about an hour ago. Here is a small section of it so far. it will be 1600x900 when done.

a new design appears...

I always thought movie tickets were a little boring... I intend to fix this, stat!

Thirst-aid near final

I'm rapidly approaching completion of this brochure. a few tweaks here and there and I'm calling it done. afterward ill make a mock-up which will show exactly what it would look like folded and whatnot. Something fresh soon!

The front, I wonder if anyone besides me reads what these say, haha.



The back

More thirst-aid

I'm hooked on this thirst aid idea of mine apparently. more work on the brochure, mixing up the design on the red side.

Thirst-aid 3

I've decided to change the thirst aid design from an ad to a brochure. heres where its at so far. 3 fold with a die-cut. this version does not show the folding guide.

Triangles!

Recently made something semi abstract for fun.
Behold... Triangles!

The making of Thirst-aid

Here's a few images that show what went into the making of the thirst aid ad. The thirst aid bottle was modeled and rendered using 3d studio max. I then used the rendered scene in Photoshop where I adjusted the levels until I felt the bottle seemed to be more realistically filled with a sport drink. I then made some custom brushes to create a splash/flamelike effect and finally added type.

- The final render. scaled down to 5% of its original size.
