an accumulation of work from 2023 - 2026. WARNING: CONTAINS NUDITY and potentially sensitive content.
commission work. the client, a drag queen and professional violist, approached me about making a merch design for her brand, which I gladly accepted. while i experienced several technical difficulties (and also my senior year of college) while making this, the request proved an excellent challenge that really helped improve my compositional skills. made in krita, 2024 - 2026.
this photo was taken for a digital photography class. there is not much intent behind it—i simply thought it was an interesting image. shot on a nikon d90, edited in adobe lightroom. winter 2023/spring 2024.
as an assignment for an intermediate level digital illustration class, us students were challenged to create a duotone image, the theme being ‘suspense.’ I chose to encapsulate a moment before destruction; the final breath before an oncoming storm. winter 2023.
a piece for a graphic design course. the prompt was to take a typeface and create an image only using the letters of the typeface with no distortion, while also communicating a prompted word. the word for this work was 'congestion.' made in adobe illustrator. spring 2024.
a photo for a digital photography course taken at university. I attempted a more cinematic color grade for this image, something more romantic and vintage feeling. shot on a nikon d90, edited in adobe lightroom. spring 2024.
this self portrait was made for a university class. the prompt was extreme expression, and i chose to look at insanity. this was my first attempt using pastels, and truthfully, it's not a medium i'll use on a project of this size again. pastel on paper, edited digitally. 3' x 4', spring 2023.
a character concept i made for a pseudo-independent study during university. while not classified as an independent study, the premise of the class was for students to choose a field of illustration and approach it in a professional manner over several projects. i chose to look into character and asset design using one of my own original characters, siobban. made in procreate, winter 2024.
a mock book cover for a university class. the objective of this project required students to consider an illustration's composition as to balance art and text in a single image. while this illustration is my own and non-official, the book is, so cheers to a phenomenal book. made in procreate, spring 2025.
this was a personal synesthetic work I made one night when I was unable to fall asleep due to stress. it is based on a song from a video game soundtrack. made in procreate, spring 2024.
a character concept sheet for a professional level university course. this is my own original character. made in krita. winter 2023.
this was a university piece made to study linear and atmospheric perspective. i wanted to go for something a little darker, but not necessarily something that would make people turn away quickly because of its gloominess. made in krita, spring 2023.
sci-fi/fantasy is one of my favorite genres, and it shows in much of my illustrative work. this piece was made for a university assignment, and I wanted to incorporate this love for science fiction into this assignment. made in krita and adobe photoshop. winter 2023.
