Some work from Christmas

I was kinda poor for Christmas this year so I did a bunch of art for people for Christmas. Here's some of it!

Pokemon Fan Arts

Have this guy just in time for Thanksgiving! One of my favorite parts about Thanksgiving is Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I wake up each morning on the holiday just to watch it. Some day I'll make it to the actual thing T_T. Anyway this was a fun project to tie that parade in with Castelia city from the most recent Pokemon games, which is based on New York itself. It only seemed fit the Pikachu balloon was showcased there too! With some of my most recent Pokemon fan art, I've been attempting to make the world feel more believable. Hopefully that comes through! I'm going through a huge fan art phase right now so expect more on the way soon.

In addition, I recently started a new mini fan art project called the Pokemon Watcher's Sketchbook. In line with trying to make the Pokemon world more believable, I'm imagining myself in the role of a Pokemon watcher, attempting to capture Pokemon in the field on page. Here are my first two examples and I hope to update with at least 1 new page each week.

Watercolor Piece from last semester

This is a piece I did last semester for Illustration. It shows the life of a wealthy ship captain on Nantucket. He has just returned from a long voyage at sea, happy to see his wife again. Many successful whaling ship captains were able to retire in their 30s as millionaires. Every boy dreamed of becoming one. That's what this image is about. It needs a bit of color and touch up work done but I want to put this one in the senior show in May.
