Done like Dinner

 

Still Figuring it Out

I still had only a vague idea of what I wanted to do for my deck. I couldn’t decide how Harry Potter I wanted it, all I knew was that I wanted to use my lion and my coat of arms. The first problem I encountered was that although my vector assets looked good individually, they didn’t make a lot of sense when I put them together. Another problem I came across was my texture. Since all of my textures were scans, they were raster files and if I blew them up to fit my deck the images would be pixelated.

Add some Texture

Pretty much all of the objects I scanned for texture I had lying around the house. I didn’t end up using many of them but it’s always nice to have a bunch just in case you need it for something else. So I’m going to keep these textures archived for future access.

 

Sketch Work

Here is my original deck design along with some of my other sketches which I didn’t end up using.

Feeling Inspired

Being up past 2am has never really boded well for me. I was drinking tea from my Harry Potter mug and the idea for my skate deck hit me. I knew that it wasn’t necessarily a “predator” theme but I wanted to make a coat of arms for this assignment. After running the idea past a few of my friends I decided that I wanted to go more Harry Potter. I figured that it would be fun to play up the Gryffindor versus Slytherin rivalry by pitting a lion against a snake (bonus that they’re both predator-ish)!

Here are a bunch of pics that inspired my design for my skate deck.

Paper Zoo!

In the Arctic

Here’s a link to our water colour painting of the arctic for our ”paper zoo”. A lot of the credit goes to Ambrose Wong and Sara May for the painting.

My animal sketches for the zoo will be up shortly. I have to sketch a penguin, bush baby, lion, squid, desert tortoise, and a buffalo. I’m particularly excited for the bush baby! haha God those things are scary little buggers.

Little Red

A spin off of Little Red Riding Hood. Mixed with a whole bunch of other Disney Fairy tales, incorporating parts from some of my favourite Disney songs. Luckily I figured out how to put music into a pdf file so the Disney playful Disney mood isn’t lost.

I would like to thank my bus buddy lots for helping to inspire me.
