Week Seven - Bobby Chiu
The artist I chose for week seven is one of my all time favorite artists, Bobby Chiu. Bobby's art career started when he was seventeen years old, designing Disney, Warner Bros., and Star Wars toys at Thinkway Toys in Toronto, Canada. Bobby has since won a number of awards for his independent work. He currently works as an illustrator for film (doing concept art) and teaches digital painting online at Schoolism.com, and also publishes art books. A lot of his work focuses on fantasy creatures that look like animal hybrids. I was drawn to his style because it is so bizarre but endearing. I've been wanting to buy some of his books now for a while but I don't think they are tutorials. To view more of his work you can visit his profile at the website : http://www.imaginismstudios.com/index.php

Excellent character design, it's creepy cute and humorous all at the same time.
ReplyDeletei would love to see some kid wear this costume in real life. I feel the head your be to heavy for a child's neck to support haha
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed his career started at seventeen years old. Makes me feel ashamed how slow i'm going. I just love how small and chibi the boy looks in compared to this gigantic whale head that hovers over him.
