GIVEAWAY #1 -
I just finished a little 5-part run of Pokemon illustrations and I’m giving the originals away on Tumblr!
WHAT YOU GET
A business-card sized watercolor board with the original illustration; numbered, signed, and colored, for her pleasure.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
Just reblog this post! I’ll let the post sit for a week, and on March 16th, I’ll announce a winner here on Tumblr. The winner will be randomly selected from the pool of reblogs.
May the force be with you.
Post Apocalypse Zelda, Part 2
A few developmental sketches on the characters, as well as a couple of roughs on what the world might look like. As with the enemy choice, prop selection was difficult to nail down, and time constraints prevented furthur exploration. The hookshot and shield unfortunately had to be cut.

Post-Apocalypse Zelda, Part 1
Something of a personal project, I’ve wanted to do a sort of Future Zelda for some time now, and school tossed this assignment my way: redesign an old video game.
I’ve always wondered what Hyrule would be like in some strange, parallel, bombed out universe, and this is my exploration into that land over the course of 7 weeks. This is part 1 of 2 parts, showing the various character and monster designs I decided to work with. Part 2 will contain more developmental pieces, including some of the environments and props.
Some notes:
For the most part, I tried to stay true to the already established universe, keeping in mind certain mechanics and plot points. Deciding on the enemy selection was difficult: there are many, many signature enemies in the games, and I would have liked to work with all of them. In the end I settled on enemies that had the most impact on me, either through nostalgia (like the Octorok) or gameplay experience (Redeads).
If you’ve got any questions, whether in general or on specific pieces, criticisms, or are curious on my thought process, feel free to drop me a message.
