A very boring best day

Having long suffered from an acute case of insomnia, as well as two equally acute, but somewhat more recent cases of morning-class-and-long-commute-osis, I've come to realize that my quote-unquote "perfect" day is so prosaic and boring that it can be described with only one word: Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
Call it lack of imagination, but catching some z's, slumbering, hitting the hay, meeting the sandman (no, not the one from Neil Gaiman's comics), taking a nap, dozing off, passing out, and/or slipping into the comfort of a coma are all foremost things on my mind. My poor fragile little mind...

Worst Day Ever

As soon as I heard about my assignment I knew immediately what I wanted to do. I commute to Columbia, and something that would really make my day pretty damn miserable is being caught in one of those windy thunderstorms on a day that I absolutely have to be here. You know, the umbrella-flipping, tearing-portfolio-out-of-your-hands kind of storm. This is a very rough, very preliminary sketch, and I need to redo a lot of things about it, but the jist is there. I'm thinking of trying a nouveau-ish style just so that I can physically portray the wind.

Best Day Ever

For my best day I'm doing a caricature of myself riding (what will be) a magical turquoise otter through a bright blue sky. Next to me will be a phenomenal koala with a rocket pack that shoots out colorful bubbles and sparkles.I'm planning on inking this illustration by hand and digitally painting it in Photoshop. I wouldn't to do a completely surrealistic scene out of my imagination, but if it ever did happen... it would be the best day ever. I drew a lot of inspiration from Ramon Perez. Someone had posted a panel from his online comic Kukuburi and I feel in love with that fanciful world he created, especially the flying orange whales.

Best day

For my best day I went with a bit of a double approach, I decided to show "myself" imagining an awesome and ridiculous scenario, like riding a T-rex that shoots rainbows (or lasers) out of his eyes, these are to be added later. On the one hand the T-rex scenario would be the best day ever (I dare you to argue that) and on the other hand listening to music and letting my imagination fly is already a pretty great day.

This is the preliminary sketch but I dont think the finished piece is gonna differ too much from it, probably gonna add a reflection to the glass window and fix that right arm that looks a bit odd. Ill also tighten the lines of course, particularly on the dinosaur.

Any critiques and comments are more than welcome.

Best Day

The best thing that could happen to me right now is graduating cause Lord knows I've been in college too long and I still have 3 semesters to go. This is me "chibi" style bookin it after getting my diploma. For those who might not know, the text "Deuces" in the back means "bye". I'm planning on coloring this in Photoshop. I haven't done it in a while but I have to keep trying if I'm going to get better. If anyone has any suggestions on the composition, please feel free to share. Oh, and does anyone know the color of Columbia's graduation gowns? Thanks all!

Good Day Bad Day Sketch

Here is a very rough sketch of what I am going to do for this assignment. So in a nut shell this will be a illustration of myself picking up a penny with the tails side up, behind me there will be a collection of horrible things that will happen to me. Such as failing an assignment, ripping my pants, parking ticket, and of course the dreaded clown.

Best Day is Pay Day!

The best/perfect day for me is always pay day. I've drawn this at a very close perspective. It contains the calendar I have on my desk at work along with a pencil, a rubber band and a post it with "Pay Day!" on one of the days that I get paid. Lines and shadows are a bit off, however, it'll be tightened up.
