Hi, my name is Avi! I'm an aspiring character designer who takes a lot of inspiration from Anime and Japanese fashion subcultures. This is a select part of my wider portfolio that only includes what I believe is my best work to showcase my strengths.
If you wish to view my portfolio in full, you may do so here
I hope that you find my work to be suitable for this course, and thank you for viewing.I believe I would be a great candidate for an illustration course because I believe I can thrive in an environment where I'm able to fine-tune and master my current skills and gain entirely new ones.
Illustration done to mess around with colour and bold shapes in a new style.
An alternative version of this illustration can be seen here.
Digital painting to give myself a little facial expression practise in a way that isn't just sketching.
You can see a speedpaint of this here.
Illustration of Leorio from Hunter x Hunter done again to mess around with colours and substituting black for blue while making sure it still made sense with the other colours.
Drawing of a figurine that I love.
These sketches were from a project I did at college- they demonstrate my way of getting to my final outcome and the layers I ended up using to create parts of the illlustration.
Digital photoshop collage based on more 'traditional' biblical angels.
Lino print outcomes and the mess I made trying to make the cow print in the top corner.
Some still life of a collaborative sculpture that we made in college using a lot of random, 'trash' materials.
Lolita and yamikawaii-inspired dress design.
Two dress-up dolls that I made to be complete opposites of one another.
Traditional initial border designs for the dress seen on the other side.
Costume redesign for a character I love who's costume design makes absolutely zero sense in the context of his powers.
A fake sketchbook page of field sketches done based on a scientist character in an anime I atched recently. I wanted to make something that felt like it was bringing the character to life.
My current favourite sketchbook pages. The first was a little warmup to do with making profiles and coming up with unique faces, the second being an attempt to recreate cheesy 80s/90s anime style with a lot of collage & sticker elements, and the third being a sketch done entirely in pen to set myself the challenge of creating depth using a set colour scheme.
Comic page and cover for my first proper university project, in which we had to create a halloween themed comic and cover using a prompt given. My prompt for the comic was 'yeti spaghetti'.
YAMI KAWAII
For this project, I picked the theme of doing menhera and yamikawaii style mixed with Lolita fashion. My initial plan was to print a skirt, but I didn't get enough chance to do that past making a first pass.
Initial sketch for the dress. I had limited materials at time so the colours in this are still very rough.
First pass of the skirt. I started to add placing for where the pattern was going to go by using patches so I wouldn't be wasting ink and so I got a chance to try out silk screen printing to make them.
Digital, repeating pattern mockup that was to be printed onto the skirt.
Initial hem pattern design for the dress, I was experimenting with different motifs and iconography, but eventually decided to go with the top image.
Digital mockup of a full coord idea that fit with my concept and demonstrated the colours I actually wished to use.
HOW TO BUILD A GIRL
For this project, my focus on my final outcome was demonstrating that we are all the same on the inside while also keeping my own style.
Zine cover design, using the same gorey imagery as inside but with more paletable colours.
Trying out different colours for the franken-girl. I eventually decided on a mash-up of almost all of them.
Layout sketches with (above) and without (below) annotations.
STILL LIFE
Various still life that we've done as a part of workshops.
Trace printing for the sketches of my tin-man.
Photo of the actual tin-man.
The initial sketches that the prints come from.
