Gift art - Howl's Moving Castle

Howl and Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle. (Best Miyazaki film imo) This was done as a gift for steen182.

Done in marker, pencil crayon and gouache with colour touch ups in Photoshop.

This is going to be used as the title graphic for my website once I'm not lazy and get it up and running, which will hopefully be over the summer sometime. This was done as a "personal banner" for english class.



This is a CD cover I made for english again for a fictional band (named after a Buckethead song, lululululz) and it's not finished. I am going to finish it eventually, but for now you get the half finished version. I actually put effort into it because I wanted to get some sort of personal development out of it, whereas the second image, the back, was made in 5 minutes with an image I yanked off google. Ironically my teacher liked the back a lot more than the front. :P

Anddd a fake bubble tea restaurant menu. I had limited space to put stuff on the menu, so I know it's missing a lot of awesome flavours, but that's all I got. XD

Ka'rist and Ma'tu

Molly/Jak's characters Ka'rist and Ma'tu from her comic Signum Fas. Random gift. :D Done in marker and gouache on parchment paper.

Something old. ish.

This is something I did for last term for Illustration. It is in "le style Mucha" with some Celtic elements. I realize the designs around the edges suck, and the type sucks, but I hadn't taken typography at that point, hahah. It's done in watercolour/gouache, and I halfassed it the weekend before it was due because I lanned world of warcraft the entire time AND was sick ontop of that, and I went to bed at 2am and got up at 4am to finish it before school. IT WAS A GRAND TIME.

Also I had a FUCK of a time trying to get the segments to line up in photoshop (the actual size is like 20x16 or something) from when I scanned it in pieces. I don't know why but some areas were warped which meant I had to free transform it, and I eventually got sick of things never lining up because once I lined one thing up, another thing would disalign. So this is as good as the scan's gonna get, I'm afraid. Haha.

Gouache Illustrations

#1: The reference for this was some freaky, cool looking old woman from a third world country... it ended up turning into some sort of native elder or something, haha. Gouache is fun.

#2: This is based on a character of mine, Mijune, who is the reincarnation of a Shinto dragon god in my story Isle of Skye.
