Hola!


Okey dokey, for my 3rd, and most officially awesome post, I'm going to post...pictures....(DUN, DUN, DUN!) What kind do you ask?? Well it just so happens that I am an Illustration student! ta da! I'm pretty good with criticism so feel free to swing away! (Just not literally because I doubt your computer, and my body, are covered by that kind of warranty). The pointillism's where done in my 2D design class eons ago, and the other four were my little project over the summer. The three pin-ups were inspired by the GREAT GIL ELVGREN!! If you don't know his work look it up, he's the king of pin-ups after all! And yes I did borrow from he's images ("Good artists borrow, great artists steal"- Pablo Picasso) In fact all of the subjects in my images today are borrowed, most of which I do not own the copyrights to. (sad face) And for all my gaming nerds out there whom I adore, and for everybody else who's not cool enough to know ;D, the ominous chick with the skeletal wings is a character from Blizzard Entertainment's game Starcraft (For the queen!) For whom's copyright I sadly do not own, as well as the three characters in my pin-ups whom also belong to Blizzard. She is not finished yet because I-can't-figureout-what-to do with the stinking background!!! (Cry for help) So I guess that's it for now, enjoy! =) 


P.S., you might ask why all my pictures are of a female figure. I promise boys I am not sexist, its just that I am more familiar with the female figure do to the fact that I am indeed a female. when I draw a male figure it usually resembles a horrific drawing of the hulk or a human version of a transformer... by the way, girls rule!

  1. Great stuff, Courtney! It's nice to see different media. I particularly liked the pointilist version of Helena Bonham Carter (or the lady who looks like her). Congrats!

    1. Thank you very much! :) I really enjoy mixed media, which I guess is a good thing since I can never focus on one thing for too long anyway! The image you are referring to is of Keira Knightly in Pirates of the Caribbean. ;D
