The Eyes / A Moment Before The Smile

05/16/2013 by alaundre

click on image to view wallpaper sized version [ N4K3D : Black Series 002 ] Most realistic illustration I’ve made so far (out of 4) in my own little vector/gradient mesh project, also the first to only use 1 block/shape with the gradient mesh. Still not the most efficient technique, but it does yield a nice effect (it looks a lot more realistic in smaller sizes). It was originally meant to be blurrier hence the title, but I spent a […]

N4K3D Series : Red 001

08/30/2012 by alaundre

Brief project synopsis: My goal is to create a series of illustrations that blurs the line between photorealism and stylized vector artwork, while at the same time attempting to mask the technique or medium that is being used. While this may be easier and faster to create in photoshop or other paint programs (or maybe even by hand), I prefer to have it vector based for the scalabilty in print resolution (essentially the option to size it up to a […]

faces mixed media

07/18/2012 by alaundre

– my education in art back in high school consisted of my art teacher handing me different materials/media with the simple instruction of “do something with it”. // i remember having no interest in taking any art classes back in school. having moved around different schools, i remember turning in artwork for a school art show in junior high and the art teacher asked me “hey, how come I’ve never seen you in class before?” Well, i’m not signed up […]
