Ship Wreck

This is my final project for my introduction to Maya class. We had to apply textures, colors, and bumps to objects and add lights and shadows to make a scene. The tree with the leaves was made by my friend, Matt. He allowed me to use it and helped me with my project. The ship and everything else was modeled by me.

Abandoned Basketball

First test with lighting and shadows in Maya.

Turkey Trot 02

I was recently asked to change my previous Turkey Trot drawing for a family's private use. I altered the colors a little, the lettering, and the pier.

Face Sketches

Just a few sketches from my sketchbook.

Maya Project: Kid's Wagon

This is the midterm project for my Maya class. We have to make a model of a wagon by following a tutorial. It took a very long time! Modeling is very time consuming!

Maya Project: Plane

This is the second modeling project for my class. This time we had to model a plane.

Maya Project: Pirate Ship

This is for my first assignment for my Maya class and this is the first time I have modeled in the program. We were to design and model a boat. I like my stirring wheel, but I think I need to make the rail higher on the sides.

Kami no Kokoro (Paper Spirits) Title Image

I drew the title image for USC and Tokyo University of Technology's collaboration animation. The animation is about friendship between the USA and Japan. In the animation a crane and a paper plane represent this friendship. My sister, Ashley, colored and inked my line art since I didn't have enough time.

This was the final version used for the animation.

Forest Walker Flora Designs and BG Sketches

The game is set in a dark forest and has glowing particles floating in the woods. I thought it would be neat if the flowers were the things giving off the glow. My favorite design the flower with the small bulb.

I did some concept art thumbnails/sketches. They are probably a little hard to follow. I was trying to figure out what the forest would look like more. I think this week I work on silhouettes of trees instead.

Bubble Mage/ Healer Designs

I went back and drew more designs of the bubble mage/healer for the game project I am working on. I made her more simple looking for game platform purposes.

Bubble Mage Designs

Working on a game project and trying to figure out the designs for the characters. Right now it seems I get free ranged on the designs. I want them to have elemental or animal traits. This is the bubble mage I designed based on Sea and fish elements. I like the second design best.

Figure Drawings Week 8

This is from the last figure drawing class I attended. I messed around with the faces more since it was my final day of that class.

Figure Drawings Week 7

Figure Drawings Week 6

I really loved this model. She made such lovely poses and was a pleasure to draw. I couldn't believe it was her first time modeling.

Random Drawings

I am trying to create a steampunk girl. I want her to look spunky, but still cute. Also want her to be a mechanic.


Drew this waiting in line on preview night of Comic Con. It's a rather boring picture. I decided to make it Robin as an after thought so he is just standing there.

Figure Drawings Week 4

The 4th week into Glenn's anatomy/figure drawing class. It was nice to have a good male model.

Figure Drawings Week 2

I did these in Glenn's anatomy/figure drawing class. This week we focused on faces.

Turkey Trot 2011 T-Shirt

For the past few years I have entered the Oceanside Turkey Trot T-shirt design contest. This is this year's entry. I had to buy a new tablet to finish this! My sister's tablet died when I was 3/4's of the way done!

AM2 T-shirt Logo Contest

I haven't been drawing much yet this summer sadly! But when I heard about this contest and saw the cute design of the mascot, I decided to enter! In the rules you had to have the cat mascot, the Convention's name logo, and "Experience the difference." This is my entry for the AM2 T-Shirt contest. AM2 is an anime convention that is going to be held in Anaheim, California during the 4th of July weekend.

Details of Cave and Boat Compositions

Object Drawings

I did these at the beginning of the semester, but never added them here. Just some wire frame practice

Flight on the Dragon Kite

Finally finished my mouse composition. I feel unsatisfied with it. Like it isn't interesting enough. Maybe it would look a lot better in color.

Here is a close-up of the drawing.
