A roundabout way of perceiving his wrongs' burdens, rather than running away, before redemption tempts him as the smoke in front. https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/31cca0e2.jpg There's a whole story behind the husband and wife but for this one, I wanted to depict their family watching the sunrise. Flowers around them are in bloom on luscious foliage to signify a new chapter for their lives. https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/ebd4c21a.jpg Initially this was for a comic cover mockup for school, but the four undercover hitmen shown here has a story also. I had the picture frames foreshadow what the comic could transpire, with some hints as to what their roles are as hitmen. https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/ff271e19.jpg This piece was from an online artist zine I participated before, I drew my favorite characters' longing for each other-- the sister eventually grew old without ever knowing if her letter in the bottle reached her deceased brother, who died 14 years of age. https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/cfbce636.jpg I illustrated a piece out of a music video about a group of magicians luring bystanders to their circus and trapping them inside. This is a POV shot of a bystander in the midst being controlled by a magician; the exit just out of reach for them. https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/d2cbb168.jpg I depicted here two sides of the same person, divided between what his parents wanted for him (left) versus fighting for what he truly wants to do (right). I took advantage of the character's two-toned colored hair to emphasize my intention. https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/f7e10030.jpg School Athlete Character Render https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/6f17ff1d.jpg School Athlete Concept Ideations https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/af09c752.jpg Sarcophagus Render https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/12c3f0d7.jpg Sarcophagus Render Initial Pass https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/76e36be9.jpg Sarcophagus Concept Ideations https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/3d2890d2.jpg Esteemed Artist Character Hair Concept Ideations https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/28d5c06f.jpg Esteemed Artist Character Concept Ideations A1 https://coleenong-portfolio.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/4899b7ee.jpg Esteemed Artist Character Concept Ideations A2
