Collages Part 2

Win! by Casey Steele


The World by Casey Steele
These are a few more collages I did for a class.  They were created using Game Informers and Psychology Today magazines.  I haven't been creating a lot of art, lately, so I'm posting some older stuff.

Cthulhu

Hey by Casey Steele
Just a small picture I drew a while back.  It's a cartoon version of Cthulhu.  I drew his hand on backwards, but I don't think it detracts TOO much.  This is a pretty old picture, so the quality is really bad.  I think I took this with a camera phone, or something.  I have a devilish character drawn in this same style, but I like this one better.

This was done with Copics and micron pens.

Unicorn Sketch

Rampant Unicorn Sketch by Casey Steele
This is a rough sketch of a rampant unicorn for Matt's blog Tales from the Prancing Unicorn.  I'm not sure what he wants to use it for, yet.  I would LOVE to get some feedback on it, though!

Overall, it took about an hour or so to draw.  I haven't had any experience in drawing horses.

I referenced a picture he gave me, but I cannot, for the life of me, find it right now.  Typing in "Rampant Unicorn" in google will yield very similar pictures, though.

Old Pictures

Chie by Casey Steele
I was a bit embarrassed to post these, but there's nothing like looking at past works in order to improve.  I'm pretty aware of the flaws in both of these images, but I like the coloring, for the most part.  I drew these back when I was more into anime.  I don't watch it much, anymore.  These were done with Copics and Micron pens.

Collages

Sin & Punishment by Casey Steele

Obsess Lips by Casey Steele
These are a couple of collages I made for class last semester.  These were two of my favorites.  I have more that I may post later.  I got the pictures from various magazines.  Most were from Psychology Today and some old Game Informer magazines.

Also, I think Google's Logo today is amazing!  Everyone should go check it out!

Playing with Letters

Casey by Casey Steele
This was done a few years ago out of boredom.  I should try to do more stuff like this.  I think it came out pretty cool!  What do you think?

I used Copic markers and micron pens for this.  The colors are a bit washed out because Copics are a lot lighter than Prisma colors.  I prefer Copics, though, because I can get a more even color and the brush tips make coloring easier.  I also like that they don't bleed all over the paper as much. 

Sorry that the full view came out pretty blurry!

Just a Reminder...

The title of this blog is only temporary.  I can't quite think of a better name, and I really need to.  Suggestions would be amazing!

Yay!

New layout!  I photographed some words I made with ink and rubber stamps on some parchment-ish paper.  I'm pretty happy with the turnout, but I can't seem to identify the font.  It's a nice one, though.  I edited them with Paint and the dinky windows picture editor, hence why they're sort of bad.  Oh well, it'll do for now!

Typographic Photography

Cold by Casey Steele

Hot by Casey Steele
Recently, I've been getting more and more interested in Typography.  I'm not a very good photographer, but these are a couple of photos I took showing off some fonts I designed.  "Hot" was particularly difficult, as there was a lot more heat from the tea candles than I expected.

I made both of these for my Typography class, and I have been thinking about doing more similar to this.  What do you think?

Also, I'm still looking for a new name for my blog.

Pointillism

Heather and Ian by Casey Steele, Photo taken by Heather Steele
This is a picture I drew of Heather and Ian. It took me about 6-7 hours. I did this one back in my freshman year of college in 2008. I think it turned out well!


Skully by Casey Steele, Photo taken by Heather Steele


Here is another pointillism piece I did . It's nothing fantastic, but I'm still rather proud of it. This took me about 8-10 hours.


I would love to do some more pieces like this, if anyone would be interested!


I would also like some opinions on names for my blog. I don't really care for the one I have now, so suggestions would be great! I'll put up a poll for my favorites so everyone can vote.
