icebound and down

Final penguin painting. I finished it up like a month ago in time for the Lucasfilm contest, and I recently found out it was selected as one of the first prize winners! I guess my 'creative' take on the theme went over well :)

Of course looking back, there are tons of things I'd like to change already. You know what they say.. art is never finished, it's only taken away from you.

Hansel and Gretel Prints going to M.R. at D.

As you know Michelle very much liked the Hansel and Gretel projects and has asked for prints, so the Viz Office would like to send them off.  Very good to have others see your work.... Any comments, please email me.

Handing in Work? Where is your Work? Competition?

*I wrote previously that work was due between 10 am and 1 pm Tuesday. 
Need disk(s) of work INCLUDING GROUP PROJECT.
If I have not seen print, must include print.

However I won't be in my office until c 11 am to 1 pm Tuesday.
Also Wed, 10:40 to 3:30.  
Otherwise you can just slip work under my door.

* Work that was in the show was collected by the department to exhibit in the Student Advising Office across from the Dean's Office.  They need fabulous art.  It will be available at the end of the summer.  If that does not work for you, please email me.

* Competition Deadline was changed to 10 am Tuesday, tomorrow.
Good Luck!

penguin wip


so I wanted to have this done by the VIST show.. that definitely didn't happen, but I like the way it's coming together. did some major composition overhauling (and I'm still not sure it's right) and worked out the city and crevasse.

the penguins are going to get a lot more detail, and I will also work over the 'tundra', probably adding in a few more signs sticking up in perspective. definitely needs some kind of texture too.

anyway I'm very open to comments and suggestions.. this painting seems to be continually evolving.

The Final Painting: Changes

Considering how sick and tired you look,
I have extended deadline on the final, if you need it.
I don't need final for grading until during exam period.
I could use it for exhibition before, if that works out,
but you could show something else.
I will not take off points for it being in by Tuesday 5/10,  at 5 pm.
          
Final Painting... so...

1) If you can finish and print by last class, Monday 5/2,
good - it will be in the Spring Show.

2) If you can finish and print by Wed 5/4 at 9:30 am,
good - it will be in the Spring Show.

3) If you can finish and print by Tuesday 5/10 at 5 pm,
good - it will not be in the Spring Show,
but I can still grade it.
You can put another wonderful work in the show.

M 5/9   Remove work before noon from Spring Show
Help if you can.  We will put work in my office.
You can pick up Tuesday morning.

T  5/10  10 am - 1 pm:  drop off disk of work at my office
PSD high res, all work.  If you have in layers, that would be good too.
If  you have jpegs too, great.
Use handout/grading sheet I gave you as a guide.

Hello,

Here is the progress so far on my final.


-Kevan

progress on Final Project

I like how this is coming so far....

Final Project Progress


WIP on Final

Hansel and Gretel Project: Hi Res images for Michelle

Yes, Michelle would like high res images of the H&G Project, large enough so she could read them.
We will talk more on this in class.

TYPOS:  Please carefully proofread your posters again.
I found a few typos.  You should fix those before putting at DropBox.
(Proofing is hard.  You have to read every word, every letter, slowly.....)

Rhododendron Rex - wip



Daring adventurer Rhododendron Rex comes across a giant chunk of amber while exploring through the Amazon rainforest. He suddenly notices there are two mysterious figures encased in the amber. Wondering how in the heck two figures came to be stuck in amber, he steps forward for a closer look. At that second, a giant carnivorous plant lurches out of the brush to make Rex its next tasty snack.

The image above is the environment in which the battle between Rhododendron Rex and the plant will take place. More to come... DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN
