Final Thesis Pieces

These are the final two pieces from my senior thesis. Both are paper cut outs with dimension.

 This was the most challenging and most fun of all my thesis pieces to make. The rain is made from easter grass that's glued together. Made of paper, gouache, and easter grass.

This one is small but fun. It's made of paper and gouache as well. 

Both of these pieces allowed me to try new techniques and methods of paper cutting and experiment with it as well. With each piece I do, I seem to learn more and more, which is amazing!

BONUS:

While I was going through all my moving boxes, I found some other paper pieces that I don't think I ever shared. So I decided to post them here.

This was made for a gallery I got to be a part of last year. The show was called "The Cute Show" and featured a bunch of talented artists!

This was also for the same show. It's based off of the Legend of Zelda: Windwaker game. This one never quite got finished but I still enjoy the boat and characters.

Cat-astrophe

Hey everyone, guess what I've got. ... Yet another paper cut! I just love making these so much! This one I used a little bit more gouache and watercolor to work on the coloring of the cats.

This piece has a lot more space in it. Each branch goes further back into the picture frame until the last one is actually stuck flat on the back panel.

Here's a detail of the cats.

 It's a little easier to see the depth between the branches in this one.

Happy New Year

I hope everyone's having a great new year so far! I'm going to try even harder this year to continue to improve my artwork and technical abilities! 

Illustrator/Photoshop

This is my current concept that I'm working on for my thesis. I'm still messing around with the story and the character designs. 

This was also a huge experiment to see if I could take a digital image and make it look like a paper cut out. It took a little longer to do it this way, but I was definitely able to learn a lot from it.

Paper Cuts

These are just a few of the paper cuts I've done over the past year. Brittney Lee has been such an inspiration as well!

This is one of my newer pieces that was done about a month ago.
