Con Season

Heading to LA for the week for AX so I'm just throwing up my prints!

Hmmm blogger is sort of outdated, I'm thinking of jumping to Tumblr eventually instead.

Heres some stuff I did since...May I think??? It's mostly prints for Con; I like doing them cause they give me an excuse to illustrate some of my favourite characters while I play around. There are some sketches here and there but most of my time currently goes into work. I'm currently working remotely as a 2D Artist for SpinPunch. Fantastic team and a great friendly atmosphere! Should start sketching and doing more experimentation, I've been dying to do a series of environments.

ONE PIECE:

Sanji and Luffy I did pretty recently so they have the least suck.

Fire Emblem Awakening was the the dopest 3DS game this year; I just had to paint my waifus. Composition Fail.

Sketches and some random experiments

15 min sketch before bed, her face is messseeddd but I should do more of these

30-40 mins or something.

Design that will be the base of a new portfolio or something.

Old/New Updates

Figured I'd toss some things onto my blog.

I forgot to actually upload the still images in the past post so I'm throwing those up too.

I should get in the habit of updating more.

Tim let me bring my Laptop and tablet to paint Ed as Alladin
Went to two classes that week. :)

 Old Stuff

Sup

still alive.

Heres a personal project I worked on last semester and tweaked/after effects'd these past few weeks. I figure I'd finally put my demo reel together and upload stuff:



Richy Truong - Demo Reel 2013 from Richy Truong on Vimeo.


Inspired by the RPGs I grew up playing; I love the heart and spirit that those games convey and tried to capture it within my own body of work!

Music is from One Piece

Life Drawings

LDs from the past week or two.

Done mostly Conte, the school stopped selling good charcoal :(.

I've noticed that I'd feel uncomfortable or fear when dealing with drawing certain parts, so I'd kind of suggest them instead of being exact. I didn't understand the parts; these days I'm making an effort to confront those fears and punch them in the face! Other than that, saw a lot of progress the last two weeks but still not happy about where I'm at, gotta get better!
