Scheduled for Introduction to 3D Animation class (Cancelled)

This summer, I scheduled a class for 3D Animation. When I have the time, I will post my animation class projects on this blog in the near future and show how much I am good at it. :3

EDIT: My 3D Animation class, unfortunately, has been cancelled due to not having enough students signing up for the class. I signed up for the class of Level Design soon afterwards. :3

Fan Art and Fascination: Spyro the Dragon

I've been a huge fan of the Spyro the Dragon series ever since I was a little girl. I've played the first game of Spyro the Dragon on the Playstation 1, and continued playing the games even after Insomniac finished their time in developing the Classic trilogy.

The introduction of the Legend of Spyro series really got me very interested in the Spyro series again. Its story, the characters, and the worlds that revolve around the story trilogy really re-imagined the world of Spyro into a whole new light. I was a little sad that the next Spyro game of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure won't be set in the Legend of Spyro universe. Fortunately, the Spyro shown in the game reveals that he still a rare purple dragon and hints that he has been on many exciting adventures, and I knew that this Spyro shows that he never truly left my childhood.



My picture displayed above signifies my adoration for the Legend of Spyro series. This area in the Swamp really caught my interest, being Spyro's birthplace and the home of his foster family of dragonflies. When I finished this picture in June 2010, it took a while to capture the wet and swampy atmosphere that the wetlands had, yet the murky water still looked like it could use a little work. The giant mushrooms that tower over the wetlands like trees really fascinated me when I first played the Legend series, as well as the creativity of the creatures dwelling there developed by the imagination of the concept artists who worked on the games.

Shortly after the release of The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, I began drawing my first set of Spyro Fan Art. Although in beginner's quality, the fan art was given positive feedback from the ones who watched my art, and I slowly improved my drawing quality as I proceeded to become fascinated by the reveal and arrival of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.

I will post more fan art of the Spyro series in the near future, and possibly my other projects that will made in my days of studying to become a Concept Artist, hopefully an artist listed in something I adore. Thank you for your time. :3

Welcome, and Hello :)



This is my first ever post on my blog here. In the near future, I will show my works of art and describe my experience as an artist. Though I am still a student in college learning the principles of being a concept artist, this will not deter me from showing you all my art pieces and possible improvement. 

The picture shown above is an art illustration of a couple of floating islands, the possible remains of a flying city, drawn back in late October 2010. After playing a level of the Floating Islands in a game called The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, I was inspired to draw a more friendlier version of the level. The background of the silent blue atmosphere during the day helps display the peaceful airy look of the floating islands. The addition of the waterfall generated from the water pumps of the abandoned floating city gives off the beautiful sense of the floating clumps of land. The trees, particularly the pink one, are nurtured by the water in the atmosphere and are still supported by the islands they grew on.

Thank you for your time and patience on looking at this first blog of future many blogs I may post. :3
