Steampunk slums in Midgar

Aug 7

Posted by rikku in Graphic design | 3 Comments

Hello, today I’ve studied a lot. since I’ve been ill almost all week I haven’t
had the strength to study, but today I finally managed to throw something
together. I have an assigntment due to monday. We’re supposed to draw
environtments. I chose to do a steampunk inspired city outcast in the desert.
also a good place for a hideout for the protagonists. I did two versions, one
at dusk/night and one at dawn/day. Speedpaintings done in less than 2 hours.
I would have done more detailed drawings but since I’ve been ill I just had to
throw something together quick.

Someone said it looks like “steampunk slums in midgar”
I think so too :D

Hello, what in the world is up! It has rained all day, so I’ve stayed inside and studied.
But oh do I love this course I’m taking. I get to draw all day!
So today I finished my character design that was my assignment for this week.
As well as the PROP assignment I posted here before, my character design is
also very steampunk-inspired. I didn’t have much time left to do the background though,
so it is more of a speed-painting. But I was more interested in getting the right feeling
for the picture instead of drawing a very detailed background.

I know the perspective is a bit off for the PROP, but I didn’t have time to draw a new one so… whatever!

Allting kommer bli bra till slut

Du ska se att allting ordnar sig.
Ok so I’m off to Arvikafestivalen so I’ll be away for a week or so.
Peppar Den Svenska Björnstammen, Maskinen, Regina Spektor, and lots more!

Also I figured I’d post some things I’ve been woring on for my summer course in Concept Art.
Moodboard assignment for the female protagonist.

Prop assignment. I made a hoverbike.

I wonder if love is like lightning..?

Hello, I’m sorry for not updating my blog for a while >_>
I’ve been away for some time to the great woods of Värmland! ….. or.. well..
anyway, it was nice. I needed some vacation.
While I was there I finished some comissions: 3 cupcake paintings.
I made them with spray paint, acrylic paint and markers.

These paintings are already sold, but I do take comissions.
If you are interested in some paintings, please let me know.

Today I did some more perspective exercises. Although I should probably do
some photoshop exercises as well… But I really wanted to draw a sketch of my
new room! I haven’t gotten a chance to decorate it yet, cause I don’t have any walls…
tehee.. but soon! Also, I’ll help my mum decorate her room. I’ll try to get some
pictures of our apartment as soon as possible! but we haven’t really moved in yet…
anyway, here’s what my room will look like! (hopefully…)

I love owls <3

Ok, so, sorry about the last post. I just wanted to get some things out of my system.
or… whatever. I don’t know. I’m feeling better now I think. In swedish we call it “peppen”.
Today I’ve danced ITG (In The Groove) all day! And then I’ve listened to Happy Hardcore.
I just want to keep dancing. I feel like daning all night long. Also, I’m making dreads.
I think I’ll go to a festival soon, and I don’t want to have to style my hair when I’ll be
dirty as hell all day long, so I figured.. hey, dreads! Not real ones though, only synthetic.
I’ve had those before. I did a quick sketch today of what it could look like

The last time I had blonde dreads I looked like this..

But this time I’ll try to make them look more “natural”, kinda…
Come to me and take my hands let’s get up in the sky to the paradise of rave!

Perspective

Great weather today! … too bad I’ve stayed inside all day by my computer.
But I’ve been studying. I started a summer course this week, called “Concept art”.
It seams really interesting. This week we’re doing perspective exercises.
And since I’m really into interior design right now I decided to do a remake on Johan’s room.
I fucked up the window and curtains though >_> I need more practice.

I took a quick shot of the room with my cellphone,
just so you can see what it looks like right now.
hopefully I can make some changes soon 8)

Creative with Coffee

Apr 25

Today I’m chillin’ out in Kallhäll with my cat (and mom and dad of course)
I’m trying to be creative. I’m going to aply to lots of art schools this fall so I need to design a lot.
Today I made 3 coffee paintings. Coffee is awesome!

A while ago I made 3 similar paintings, but those were cupcakes.
I think you’ve seen them in my blog before.

I’m thinking about doing comissions with paintings like these for a reasonable price.
Right now I don’t have the time, but if anyone is interested, please let me know.

Jag bryter lagen för att känna mig fri

Yesterday was party. Yes, as in an adjective. I think I had a bit too much though.
Now I’m sitting here with my cat in an empty apartment in Kallhäll,
listening to Kristian Anttila – Västra Frölunda and drinking juice.
I feel like I deserve. But it was worth it.

Today I think I’m gonna try and be creative.
Talking about creative, I’ve completley forgot to get myself an Uppcon T-shirt.
I made the design. It looks like this

Anyway, now I’m gonna go spray paint something :D (hopefully not my cat!)
