Moment Piece

So towards the end of the story, the goddess brings the warrior back to his village to show him that he caused the destruction for not staying to defend. I decided to illustrate that for my moment piece:

Project Aztec Exterior

We had to design the world our characters lived in. So here's a scene I did of the village.



Here's the final:

Aztec Project Character Designs: Goddess

Here are some thumbnails for the goddess character. She's not supposed to feel evil or good.





I feel like the thumbnails came out nicer than the final piece.

Here's her headdress a bit more designed.

Aztec Project Character Designs: Warrior

Here are some thumbnails of my aztec warrior guy for my project in ART117B. The story is that he's the last survivor of his village; he ran away and didn't help defend. He takes refugee in another village and gets acclimated there before he's visited by a goddess that tells him that he should have stayed and defended even though it meant his death.


I wanted him to look wimpy, but not incapable of fighting.


We had to design his prop too. I chose an aztec bludgeoning weapon, called a Macahuitl, which is a wooden club with sharpened obsidian blades on the sides.

Crazy Nirvana guy

So, while I was painting/drawing some people at school, a random guy came up to me, sat down and started asking me about my major. I told him I was an animation/illustration student, and he said, oh, really? you look like a movie star, he said. He then proceeded to tell me about the 10 paths to nirvana or something. He wanted me to buy these books. I told him that I had no cash, he said credit was fine; I said no thanks. He gave me a little booklet with some interesting illustrations of four armed blue people and asked me how much money it would cost to buy my hat off of me. I said go to Ross, they have them for like 3 bucks, and he walked away.
