Neverending Story: Ext. Environment IX

From one of my thumbsies in my last post. Thumbnail number IX.

Too lazy to clean it up at the moment, but here it is!

Process

References/Textures


For right now though, there is really nothing special about the environment itself. So I talked to Rodney about illustrating these things in the next revision:
Story Point:
- Scene in a jungle before Atreyu meets Gmork.
Key Facts from Story:
- Atreyu ventures into man-made (cave) with stone bricks and walls, and murals depicting key points and characters in the story.
- The earth is experiencing disaster at the moment, ie earthquakes ( due to the invasion of the Nothing) as Atreyu meets Gmork.

Neverending Story: Ext. Environment Thumbs

My thumbnails for my Neverending Story exterior environments in Rodney's class at CDA.

Ivory Tower: I-III and VI.
Falcor's Nest: IV, VII, and X.
Forest: V, VII, and IX.
Rockies/Desert: XI and XII.
Swamp: XIII and XIV.



I'm actually having a hard time deciding on a certain thumb to take on a higher level for class; I like most of them equally for the most part.

External HDD + Spider Stand Combo

Today's product concept: An external hard disk drive and a spider stand combo to accompany it.


This was actually done just yesterday morning at Art Center while waiting around for the rest of my classmates from the incoming fall/spring term to show up for the ACCD Admitted Student Night. All of them are very friendly and outgoing , and it makes me feel so much better to know my new peers in person.

Semi-Weekly Moleskine Post (No. 5)

I lied. Weekly Moleskine update now turned into semi-weekly. So... Count this as update No. 5 from now on alright? 6 pages every half a week, or something like that. That means I'm making the jump from 10 to 12 pages a week now. :P

23 + 24 Inspired by/done at Lake Balboa when I was hanging out with Jenny Yan and her SG buddies.

25 + 26 My self-anticipated toilet paper system. Please don't steal. > <


Mainly cause I wanted to share my toilet paper dispenser sketches. Yeh I'm weird. And hey, it's all landscape today!

Toilet Paper Dispenser: The Problem

I find that I let out more creative and fun sketches in cases of extreme boredom. Like at work. One example of this is my concept for a toilet paper dispenser redesign. I have two pages worth filled with this just from doodling at work, and it's actually an idea I want to take further. :]

First step: The problem.


I'm annoyed at the fact that on top of taking the roll out of it's wrapping, we have to slide it over a telescopic pole, then pinch that so we can actually fit it into the device which holds up that roll. Urgh.

I already have a way, though it's not necessarily a solution actually, just a different way for those annoyed with this whole process like I am. Haha. When I upload my Moleskine updates you'll see, or perhaps before that I'll actually flush it out in Photoshop like I was doing just now.

Moleskine Update Wk. 2

Sorry about this late update on my Moleskine progress. I had an intense and immensely fun second half of a week, so I haven't been able to do my two pages a day. I did manage a bit over ten pages though, so I'll be posting what I promised.

11 + 12

13 + 14 The odd one out lol. Only page so far uploaded in landscape format, cause I spent more than a page on that little cliffside enviro.

15 + 16 Signed by Andy Park, Jung Park, and Cecil Kim at the GOW III exhibit at Nucleus last weekend! CRAZY COOL. :D
