These are just little quick watercolor paintings of some animals I met last summer. Silly things they are.

character design

This is a character design assignment.

Its about an old man and old cat. They decide to see the world on their penny farthing before they get too old. For the most part, I like it and I used a lot of watercolor techniques, but I think I coulda worked more on the man's arm. They are a bit off..and well, yeah...

Fortunes are for luck

front

fortune

inside.

For our final last project for illust4, we had to eat fortune cookies, and illustrate a fortune in 3D form. Mine was "you will live a long and healthy life". I came up with a fortune teller/tarot card reader. Presto! there it is. I also cleverly made the outside look like a back of a card since youre kinda flipping to see whats behind/inside. get it?got it? good.
