A character design for a comic I was going to make and never did. She's a mech pilot. Also, she don't take no guff.

This started out as a pencil sketch and I just painted it out in Photoshop CS2. I modeled her guns in Sketchup 6.0. ~40 hours I think.

Comments and critique are very welcome ]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:02:25 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/562419

This illustration was done for the Girls' Thunderdome on conceptart.org. The theme was fairy tales, and I chose the Grimm story The Girl Without Hands http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm031.html. I chose the story because it was disturbing and creepy, so I wanted to get the same feeling for the illustration. I also wanted an Old Master look to the colors so I used a restricted palette of mostly yellows and reds, no green and very little blue. I used a few webcam shots of myself for reference.]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 20:59:20 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/548737

Orthographic view of a creature/character design for an illustration I'm working on. Kind of wanted a slightly creepy, less human angel than typically depicted.]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2007 21:16:37 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/529969

Illustration for school... I was trying to depict a king who had fallen from power but retained his pompous royal dignity despite his diminished surroundings.]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2007 01:56:26 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/529968

Illustration for school. I was trying to express the sort of happy sadness you feel watching kids grow up.]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2007 01:53:36 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/424083

This piece was created for conceptart.org's Chick Who Draw Chicks Calendar, and won the big print slot for November.

My main goals were the narration, color scheme, and stylized yet relistic rendering.]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 14:50:58 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/385102

This is an old piece, but your comments and crits are welcome either way! I was trying to show an anime character in real life, hanging out at home with his puppy after filming an epic battle or something. Someone who plays a badass but is really a softie kind of guy. The dog is named Crusher T. Bonesaw, and he totally spoils her. Reference was live, my cousin sat for the initial sketch. The popcorn reference was delicious.]]> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 14:14:34 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/381965

She's a superhero taking a permanent vacation. I was going for a very arrogant, formidable, self-posessed look on this woman's face and a tropical atmosphere to the background. Pencil sketch painted in Photoshop. Comments and crits are much appreciated!]]> Sun, 16 Jul 2006 15:10:32 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/381441
