Faces 4

Here we go.


Her name is Nachti.


And here's some Nachti's people. Not really HER people. But like, her people.


And here's Boaz Livny saying "caustics". He's my Lighting and Rendering teacheroo.

I have no idea what accent that is.

Cause its all Brooklynese and Jerseyspeak until you say something like "cowsticks" instead of "caustics" or "fractile" instead of "fractal" or "dinosaur peanuts" instead of "maya shaders" and it all goes to hell.

Except for that last one, that didn't actually happen.

Faces and Then Some

Trying to use my sketchbook more and more, and for more different things, and think of every page as less of a piece-space and more of just space to play around.



And some more playing around with expressions. I think I'm going to use this character for something in the near future.

Veves and Colors

Experimenting with some different things this time around.

Veves are inscriptions written in powder (salt, flour, rice, gunpowder, whatever) on a flat, horizontal surface, used in Haitian voodou to call the attention of one of the hundreds of Haitian gods, called "loa"s. Haitian veves are as varied as the loas they call and so far I haven't found any discernable pattern in how they're made.

So naturally I tried to make up some myself.





Also a self portrait, kind of showing off three different aspects of yours truly's personality:


I'll put up a color version of this once I'm done with it.

Also a quick attempt at doing accurate anatomy off the top of my head:

Self Portrait, Now In Color!

Fiends 3



Faces 3

Some work with expressions, and the like:




A quick, rough and probably not all that accurate sketch of my visual literacy instructor during class:
