Hi! I'm Tre', a young up and coming Illustrator from Baltimore. I'm also a music junkie and it greatly influences the way I work. Its rare for me to create without it. I specialize in concept and comic book art and I'm beginning the process of learning animation because no matter what concept I envision in my head, I can never get it to stop moving! ^_^ Anyway, this is my art blog. Here you'll see my work, as well as work from artists/writers that inspire me through my reblogs. Welcome to my world! Hope you enjoy the visit.

 

Rorshack Painting Exercise for my illustration class. My teacher gave us each a piece of illustration board splattered with drops of ink and told us to make an illustration with it. So this dagger is what I did with it in the span of an hour with some watercolor and a little more ink. I didn’t think much of it but she really approved so I decided to post it.

Unfinished painting of a garage in bolton hill. I really don’t like drawing environments. But I will be doing more of this over the summer to practice.

I dont remember his name but here’s a portrait of a guy who works in the cafe at my school. The teacher assigned our class pictures of him and a girl that goes here, both with their hands extended so that we could practice our foreshortening. We had to really make those hands “pop out of the frame”. But since I’m a comic artist, I took that very literally.

Some watercolor portraits I did in the beginning of the semester for my watercolor class of myself and my classmate Jenny respectively. 

Posted this on my personal blog about a week ago. Hoping I get more feedback on it here.

Part of my watercolor final for school. Still needs a bit of work but I haven’t been able to go into it again since finals ended. And by haven’t been able to, I mean I honestly need to just not make art for like a week or two. :P I’m burnt out. But I’ll be posting more of what I did during the semester today to make up for it.

Heir of The House of Elements

New work from this semester’s sophomore Illustration class. This is the continuation, or I should say, finalization of a sketch I did this summer (As seen above)

Being the daughter of Orisha Shango, Shun possesses the powers of fire and lightning manipulation. I chose the phoenix and the dragon respectively to represent the full extent of her elemental powers. I’ve always been in love with the mythos; the amazing balance of power and beauty that surrounds these creatures. So it was only natural for me to incorporate them into my interpretation of the Orisha mythology. Also another spin I’ve put on their stories is a house system. All of the orishas belong to two houses: The House of Creation and The House of Elements; the latter of which belongs to all of the orishas whose powers are rooted in the natural elements.
