Logic and Emotion by SaiTenyo

Mon, 19 May 2008 03:03:54 -0000

I ended up reworking my Senior Portfolio yet again. My final idea was to do portraits of each of my main characters, paired up as foils, with each one representing a specific trait. This is Kaid and Theore, their characters embody the traits of logic and emotion respectively. Textures from ~dazzle-textures

Senior Port - Thalek by SaiTenyo

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 10:05:00 -0000

More in my senior portfolio series. For those wondering why it looks like some of these guys are posing with invisible objects (like Theore leaning on nothing and Thalek with his hand up in the air) I promise it will make sense soon. There's some border stuff going into the finished pieces that's not done yet. Texture by dazzle-textures

For the second half of my Senior Portfolio I'm just focusing on character portraits. I'll be doing 10 in total and pairing up characters that are somehow significantly connected in the story. Here's Kaid, for the first half of the first piece. Texture from ~dazzle-textures

Space Cadets by SaiTenyo

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 04:50:00 -0000

I spent about a bajillion hours painting this thing but it was worth it. My final for my History of Illustration class was to create a self-promotional poster/self-portrait incorporating some influences of one of the artists we learned about this semester. I chose J. C. Leyendecker and tried to slightly imitate his vibrant colors, warm/cool double light sources, and realistic yet semi-cartoony illustrative style. But most importantly, Sambu and I are in space! And I have a ray gun! Why are we in space? Because space is cool.

Hay...sup? by SaiTenyo

Just a new drawing of Spirit. I toned down her colors a bit to be more aesthetically appealing and less neon "colors I made up in middle school."

Senior Portfolio 04 by SaiTenyo

Oops, forgot to upload this one. The 4th piece in my Senior Port series. I'm happy with how the characters turned out but I have issues with everything else...especially that silhouette. I might fix it eventually if I have time.

Wrath of the Pomeranian by SaiTenyo

Thu, 03 May 2007 00:34:38 -0000

For my Editorial Illustration class. We had to illustrate one of the seven deadly sins and I picked "wrath." I decided to illustrate it with pomeranians as a sort of joke, because they all seem to suffer from Napoleon complexes. My own pom tries quite hard to be "wrathful" and intimidating at times. It's adorable. Ballpoint pen, Photoshop, and Corel Painter. Texture is scanned scratched glass.
