Lgemat (Sweet Dough)

A geometric translation of "Lgemat" which is an Kuwaiti type
of pastry that consist of fried dough glazed with melted sweet syrup.
For the colorful cups, instead of placing random colors,  decided to
use a primary color with its complimentary. Expect the row in the far
right where I employed purple due to the color of the dough.

Skulls: How fun :p !

Drew the first two on the air plane while heading back
home with my little sketch book. Its a really interesting
experience to draw in an squished environment where
you can barley move your arm to not accidentally hit
the guy who is sitting next to you.

Raphael Study

Made that during the summer where I should post it
earlier. I had to do this study by only using a ball point
pen which was so frustrating. Because I had to get a soft
gradation and transition between a various values but
I got through it by layering the ink.

Apple Study with Mother

Spending some quality time with my mom before going back to college.

Ocean: Redefined

One of the projects that I recently completed for one of my classes. Basically, a word was given to me by the professor and I had to create my own font and then incorporate symbols into the word "ocean". Then, design a poster to fit the quote in it. After that, I had to create multiple color schemes by using the standard color strategies which was my favorite part in the project.

I really wanted to go for a more complex design. I wanted the sea to be red rather than blue, I wanted to have a meaning, a strong concept behind this project but unfortunately due to the time restrains, I had to go for plan B which is whats below.

Poster Design: The Hindenburg Disaster

Instead of having a clean vector edges, I decided to embrace the semi-sketchy mood all over the design. Also, you'll notice that there is a "3" in Hindenburg, and "36" is the number of deaths in the Hindenburg Disaster.

Vandeline Vandalize

Story:

In the late 17^th century in France. Two courtiers, one of them had a son (23 years old) and the other had a daughter (18 years old). They arranged their marriage and both of daughter and son fell in love together, but before the wedding, she found out that he was cheating on her with one of the maids so she pretended that nothing happened.

After the wedding at night, she poisoned him with half a bottle of Chateau Margaux. So, he uncontrollably started to vomit everywhere and she kept moving with him, keeping her face on his without any emotions, until he dies.   Instantly, she cleans him up and put him in bed and slept beside him. She woke up in the morning screaming, and after couple of days they made his funeral. After that, she goes at night, dug his grave, open his chest, and took out his heart. She went back to her room and cut the heart open, put the wedding ring inside and then sewed it up. Then, she went back to the cemetery and returned his heart in his chest and drank the other half of the wine bottle, lay against his body and kissed him with innocent tears and closed the coffin. The end.

About:

The scene that is depicted in this drawing is sewing the heart. Also, Instead of having a flat drawing I decided to make a table and life size woman (Vandeline). I used a real needle and thread to give more credibility and I exaggerated the size for more drama. Made in a week, I have the redbull just for a size comparison and to drink it after the hard work.
