Britney Spears Political Cartoon

This was an assignment for Illustration I. Political cartoons aren't exactly my idea of a good time, but they're do-able. This was back in (I believe) 2006 or 2007 when Britney was the talk of the tabloids. I suppose it's more "entertainment" than "politics", but I'm not touching the latter with a ten-foot pole.

Story Board

My favorite assignment from Illustration II was the story board. I felt like I was born to do this and the instructor could tell.

We were given a list of (rather corny) jokes to choose from and then selected one to present in story board form. The one I chose was about a doctor who met with a heart transplant patient.

The doctor gave him a list of options that consisted of a young athlete, a middle-aged office employee, and a lawyer. The patient chose the lawyer's heart. The operation was a success and when the doctor asked why he'd chosen the lawyer, the patient answered that he wanted the heart that had been used the least.

Sci-Fi Anthology Cover

This was another Illustration II assignment that I really enjoyed. We took a reference image and from that created an illustration that could be the cover of a Science Fiction anthology. This was done with graphite, copied onto special paper, and then painted in using watercolors.

Captain Ralph - Character Expression Sheet

Back in 2007 I took Illustration II. One of our assignments was a character head turn and expression sheet. I absolutely loved it. Captain Ralph here was abducted by a time-travelling restaurant manager who wanted an authentic mascot for his sea food chain.
