Been pretty busy lately with my internship and work and stuff.

I've been teaching myself xHTML & CSS also. In the process of doing so, I stumbled onto an opportunity to redesign a webpage for The Law Office of  Eric Ortner.

Here is what I got so far:

It's only the homepage right now, I'm waiting to see what he thinks, he's in court a lot so I have to be patient.

In the meantime, I'm just playin around with markup and getting some good experience in.

btw here is the original site for his office:

This was a fun exercise in coloring using selection tools like the lasso and such. I need to calibrate my monitor too, I had the brightness turned up higher than normal I guess, that why each of my pics seem to be darker than they should.

This is an inked image I found from Deviantart.com by Madman1. I thought the picture was great and just perfect for some coloring exercise...

This was fun to do, my first character illustration in a while.

Sloth

Drawn by hand, inked in Illustrator, colored in Photoshop.

Voice is back after a few years, I used to submit stuff to them all the time, it's fun to be part of it again.

The theme is Time & Nature....I was trying to think of something that would fit that theme and I really couldnt think of anything too abstract so I went for the literal route...a tree "nature" and some clocks "time"...the deadline is next week, I guess, so I didnt want to take too much time thinking about this. I also decided to keep the style nice and loose...i like it..you?

Nature&time

So this is the guy I came up with that was inspired by Paige's drawing found here.

I was going for a "he's a big scary monster but deep down he's just shy and lonely" sorta thing...I dunno if that came through or not but I like him so far...
