Outside of work…
From illustrations, contest submissions, game background art to acrylic painting, here’s what I’m up to in my spare time!
Still life
Still life work done in Photoshop for a challenge hosted by @stillherestilllife on Instagram who posts still-life photography every week.
Game Jam
Following the theme "lost and found" provided by the Games Institute at the University of Waterloo's Game Jam, my friends and I made a game in five days that involved the player going around a castle and trading with in-game characters to find the legendary peanut butter and jelly sandwich recipe for the prince.
Check out the backgrounds I drew on Photoshop below!
Backgrounds
Glass bottle painting
I’ve always enjoyed acrylic painting, but recently I’ve found it fun to experiment with painting on different surfaces rather than just canvases. The preparation for glass bottle painting involves cleaning, priming and sealing after painting. I enjoy imitating Monet and Van Gogh’s paintings.
Contest submissions
Here are some illustrations I submitted to various contests. I enjoy applying to these because it gives me the creative freedom to draw while having some guidelines in place.
