#TBT: Sami · Kilimanjaro Safaris

August 18, 2016 in Doodle

My dream job is to be a designer for The Walt Disney Company, so obviously I have created a lot of Disney themed art over the years.

Before my personal Instagram account was private, there was a time when I was actively posting my Disney inspired art, generating a following of people that were interested my work.

This led to a lot of commissioned opportunities and I created this piece for a Cast Member at Walt Disney World named Sami, who worked at Kilimanjaro Safaris. I think this piece turned out absolutely adorable.

I made these digital paintings roughly 8 years ago in Photoshop mainly using the brush tool and smudge tool. To this day, these are still some of my pieces that I’ve created.

Illustrations for AniKa and Jason

April 05, 2015 in Doodle

For Easter, I wanted to give my roommates custom illustrations based on their favorite things. The project was a little rushed but I absolutely love how they turned out.

This first illustration was for my roommate, AniKa and it truly encompassed all of her favorite things: a mermaid lagoon, the flower from Tangled, and Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games. My only regret for this piece is that I spent so much time on the background elements and shading, that my laziness clearly shows because I gave the mermaid and Peeta “mitten hands” due to the tight deadline. If I ever revisit this project, it is something I plan to clean up in the future.

The second illustration was for my roommate, Jason who is a Pirate Master at the Pirates League in Walt Disney World. The pirate outfit illustrated here is based on his costume from work. I combined the iconic jail scene from Pirates of the Caribbean with characters from his favorite movie, Peter Pan.
