Art Test Work

Yes, yes, yes, I know it has been quite a long time since my last blog update.
For the past year I have been working on a freelance animation job that I will probably make a post about in the near future, but right now I'd like to update my blog with some new artwork!!!!

Recently I applied for a job at a mobile game studio and had to take an art test.
The art test consisted of creating game-ready assets in Adobe Illustrator from concept art given to me, create 6 cubes in Illustrator and design them to give off the effect of a certain texture (water, chrome, crystal, fire, fur, and wood), and the last one was to design a concept of a character myself in Photoshop.

Sadly, I did not make the cut for the job, but I am still very proud of the work I completed given the short amount of time I had to make them. I had 3 days to make them, but it was more like 2 1/4 because I had no internet the first day to look up reference and tutorials to help brush up my Illustrator skills (it had been about 2 years since I last worked with Illustrator when I interned at Neo-Pangea, so my memory of the program was a bit rusty)

I will be placing these pieces in the Gallery section as well.
