He's number 1!!!

So i've been recently wanting to explore the different kinds of texture i can get off photoshop, and I really like the crayon look, so I drew out my favorite Pokemon. I'm a very big Pokemon fan, but none of them can best beat my most favorite, Bulbasaur! he's literally #001 on the national dex, and #1 in my heart. I choose you!

Man-A-Tee!

Its summer, and I feel so fat and lazy. I feel like...a manatee! I decided to sketch out a couple. I'm going to continue on this and finalize it, color, and maybe print it on a t-shirt. Look forward to it!

Anna

I've only known her such a small amount of time, but she has been a big influence on me. I decided to "vector" her with that pop-style. It was really fun; especially making her plaid shirt. She now uses it as her FB profile pic, so I guess she likes it

Eek eek eek

So one time I was into using facebook's stickers so much that I thought to myself "it shouldn't be too hard to make." I researched all the stickers and what emoticons they represent, and so I tried for myself. Not 100% complete, but it's actually fun making stickers. Now how to publish them?

Wonderland

I got myself into fashion while I was away. I ended up making concept work with the theme of harajuku meets Alice in Wonderland. Two completely different worlds, but yet, such an interesting color palette. I found myself gnawing my pencil thinking of different styles, and here are some of the designs.

Gone way to long

I realized that i have been making art on my downtime that I neglected this blog. I have been working on different projects. Might as well start from the beginning. This is a practice piece I made to help a friend understand grayscale value along with perspective.

Knight Cycle

Untitled from aj velasco on Vimeo.

This is the cycle I finished for the knight. I went with just a standing cycle and an attack cycle. I used a nested cycle to accomplish both, but had a mix of frame by frame animation and motion tweens. I animated the knight in Adobe Flash and imported a .swf file into AE so i can throw in the background and chest by itself.
