Marchesa Fall 2011

Morning!
So i'm really excited to show you a little project i've been experimenting with. I know it's really really really different than my usual work. But I'm someone who likes to constantly experiment. I really don't like doing the same technique or medium twice. So i thought it would be interesting to try my hand at 3d Modeling + Digital Painting. So this was one of my first experiments.

It's from Marchasea Fall 2011. Which if you haven't seen it check it out here.
I've been a fan of Marchesa Collections, and the second i saw this dress I got the idea of a girl laying down with the dress flared out on an ornate rug under her, and i really like how it turned out. It's so trippy don't you think? I hope you like it.

Ali Michael Vogue Latin America

Happy Sunday friends,
Wow! Thanks so much! i'm so glad you liked the Romeo+Juliet Painting :)
This painting is of a model i really enjoy,
she has a wonderful presence, her name is Ali Michael.
The image is from Vogue Latin America Cover.
I really like how the color turned out.
I hope you like it and hope you're having a wonderful night!

P.s. I was looking through thefashionspot today. I'm not a member, but love that site. It's a never ending image eye candyland.. so wonderful. But anyway, i was on there looking through a Sasha Pivovarova thread and to my amazement, someone had posted one of my drawings on the thread! haha! Wow! You all never cease to amaze me! Whoever did it, thanks so much, really means alot :)

Christian Lacroix Couture Inspired

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, and Goodnight.
Well, today is my last day home.
Flying out to Texas bright and early tomorrow morning,
so I'm trying to tie up some loose ends today.

This painting i did over the last 2 days.
It's inspired by Christian Lacroix's Spring 2009 Couture Collection.
I took the design of the finale dress and made some slight changes.
I think Christian Lacroix is incredible;
so colorful and fun.
I really hope you like the painting!
Have a great day, friends! :)

Also, I posted some pictures of me wearing the Girls In Glasses T-Shirt
from Borders & Frontiers. I hope you like them.

Yikes for Late Nights

Wow! Good morning to yawl!
i feel like a Zombie today.
You know when you stay up too late,
and the next morning when you wake up, it feels like someone poured molasses in your brian?
Well, that is me today!

Yesterday, i had to go in to work.
Then, afterward, my brother and i went out and hung out with my friends Ryan & Alice.
We got home fairly late, and then i started working on some drawings i need to do....
ok, i shall stop boring you.
Needless to say, i'm Zombie Dan today.

The drawing today is from the Lily & Gemma Book (Volume 1 of the Character Sketchbook).
but this version is a tweaked version i did last year for the book "Digital Fashion Illustration" by Kevin Tallon.
I hope you like it

Oh yea one more thing...
i climbed out my window this morning and got up on my roof and took some pictures.
posted them on My Image Diary. Hope you like them. :)
