Thanks for Posting, please comment.

Thanks for posting your comps gang, I'm very pleased to see much improvement professionalismwise. My brand new wordification.

I would like you to take a look at all the comps, read all comments and make a comment to each person on our team, which may simply be an affirmation of another comment or a contrary opinion, however brief, please make a comment to all, mine is one opinion here. You need not post any images of the final work in progress, (unless you were asked to in my post) we will look at it next week in class, the final image, on a big, quality piece of paper or canvas, or a good print of a digital file. The image should be presented as done. 

I am happy to comment on a work in progress, if you feel you need some input, but posting updates all along the way is not a good idea, you are in charge of your image.

I'm off to another project today, and will need to postpone posting my comments to the Cover project till tonight, or tomorrow morning.

Enjoy the sun, enjoy the work,

Paul

Tough Competition

Thought I'd share two rather brilliant artists (but keep in mind they are still in school as well). Pretty stiff competition I'd say:
Jeremy Enecio
Francis Vallejo (He has a lot on his blog.)
And even worse, this girl is still in High School (!):
Nomi Chi
(She has a show going on right now at Thinkspace Art Gallery in L.A. with Audrey Kawasaki, João Ruas, et al.)

Yikes!

This is my revised sketch for the largest rabbit ears. I'm not sure if I should number the measuring marks on the side or not.

Color Sketch

Hi guys- Here is my color sketch. Do you think the greens need to be pushed more and maybe some more highlights on the small objects? Is there enough space for text? Thanks! Kate

gregs world record sketch 11-11

Hey everyone. Here's my sketch for the world record assignment. It's the worlds longest chess game, something like 22 hours straight. Comment if you'd like and I'll try to do the same. Thanks- p.s.- Paul, I just uploaded the new sketch for detour on the UCF blog. I couldn't remember if you wanted it uploaded here too..? But since no one else put it here..I'll assume not, dumb question. -Greg Miller Gregeryjmiller@hotmail.com gjillustration.blogspot.com

Most Successful Chimpanzee on Wall Street

Came across the humorous "record" set by a chimpanzee named Raven who chose an internet stock portfolio by throwing darts at a list. She defied expectations and was hailed a financial whizz (not saying much for the human financial gurus), and at one point had a website monkeydex.com, detailing Wall Street's first index of publicly traded Internet and new-economy stocks selected by a chimpanzee (wtf?)

In this sketch we see a chimp holding a cigar in its hand and a "banana martini" with its foot. A butler is seen cradling a top hat full of bananas. I pictured right away a chimp emerging from darkness so to speak, lit from underneath by the cigar. Not too creepy but not perfectly settling either. Definitely need to correct some primate anatomy, but overall I'm pleased with how it's turning out.

Jill's sketch

Hey guys! Here is the sketch I did and added color to it in photoshop.  I am planning on doing it in collage so I can get some cool textures for the spikey flower petals. Let me know what you think! Thanks~
