Nuclear Fusion-HA!

Crystal Kan — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:00:00 +0000

Dragon Ball Z + Physics = Nuclear Fusion! Obviously I splurged a little on my geekiness on a Physics themed woot derby.

I also need to note that any article on wikipedia about science is guaranteed to hurt your head if you haven’t studied science in years. Oh AP Physics. How could I forget so much of it?

White Square on a White Field

Another woot shirt entry for the theme “reinterpreting famous art titles”. I decided to poke fun at monochrome paintings, so here’s a “white square on a white field“.

If anything, at least I learned how to do half tones in illustrator.

Chicken and Broccoli

There was a time in college where I doodled on the back of bookmarks for sale at TCNJ. Since a lot of them related to Chinese zodiacs, I would draw cute animals on them. Eventually, I got bored and started drawing cute versions of Chinese Takeout. Now that I have more time to dedicate to making drawings, I decided to redo this one in a nicer, cleaner, vector format.

New Layout

After a half year of slaving away on my senior thesis and a decently long break of unemployment and graduating, I decided to give the site another new look. Most of it was fueled by the fact that I wanted to move some of the right-column content to the left of the picture for better readability and give more space for the art to breathe. Of course, the CSS file self imploded itself in the middle of editing and I just decided to upgrade to ComicPress 2.9. It reminds me why I worship my CSS Pocket Reference book and is possibly the most abused textbook I bought. Now, there’s just a couple images I need to update and the site will be spiffy new.

Another thought that came up while redesigning the site was if I wanted to have the colors change depending on the time of day or weather. I know it’s possible, but I feel like it’s more flashy than functional. Although I’ll admit, I was pretty attached to the sunset version of the header. What can I say? I’m a sucker for beautiful skies.

Painting something a little more serious.

Beach

Summer is here!

An observational painting after a trip to the beach. A place I rarely go to because I live a tad too far from the Garden State Parkway.

Parking Lot

Quick digital painting of the sky behind an empty parking lot…and a telephone pole.

Exploring!

A quick digital painting of a younger version of one of my characters from an old D&D campaign. I did this just to relax after finishing my senior thesis, but also see if I can apply what I’ve learned over 1 full year’s worth of figure drawing to my illustrations.
