Smaug: From Life to Desolation

 









    Digital arts II assignment to create a book cover for a character who wasn't the protagonist of their universe. I chose to make a biography of Smaug from The Hobbit, since we know little about his life prior to the story. Project was completed using Adobe Illustrator.

    Photos of Smaug on back cover created by another. Eye portrait on front cover created by TheSpire on artstation.com. Gold on the back cover was pieced together to be a longer photo.

Hot Freaks Album

Image
      A project from Digital Arts III where we had to design the outside and inside of an album cover for a band or artist we enjoyed. I decided to make a new album for the band Hot Freaks including some of my favorite songs of theirs. A drive-in theme seemed fitting for the lovey-dovey style of music they have. The screen (on what would be the inside of the album) is showing the last frame from one of their music videos with an added "The End" to make it seem more like an older movie. The quote from that same side is taken from one of the members about the power of music. Project completed in Adobe Illustrator.      The Cadillac photo on the front was taken from  hoctcars.com and the vintage paper texture is from lostandtaken.com. The black and white drive-in photo is from Getty Images. The road photograph was created by another and the scene on the screen belongs to Hot Freaks.

Dragon Jewels Cereal

I drew him with the mouse and decided to make the cereal like the jewels dragons typically sit on. Project completed in Adobe Illustrator.      The General Mills logo belongs to General Mills. The spoon, cereal, and dragon scale texture were created by others.
