Website, New Game and Degree

Website

I've acquired some web space and I now have my own website:

www.ivandixon.com

My comic site isn't up yet, but it should be soon. In the meantime feel free to browse my design/illustration portfolio and check out the games section. Which brings me to my next point...


Loftus and the Sky Cap

Inessa is woken by the smell of smoke. She races down the stair case to discover the workshop torched and no trace of her Master Loftus.

The townsfolk are convinced that a dragon must be responsible or that the crazy inventor must simply have blown himself up- but Inessa believes otherwise.

Music and sound by Jake Craig.

Degree

Well, I've finished my three year Bachelor of Visual Communications/Design (provided I pass all my courses). What does this mean? I'm not sure, but I'm looking for work.

Joker in the pack


It's a lie. There isn't, or rather wasn't, always a joker in the pack. The joker was an American invention that came much later in the story that is the history of playing cards. That's why the joker is often neglected in most card games.

All that aside, the joker is a fun character and was my first choice for our latest assignment: design a playing card.

Soots the Rendered Man

Practicing a more sophisticated rendering style. I'm now controlling the opacity of the stroke with my pen, rather than just the size.

Thanks to Katie Wang for suggestions.

Here is a character I have designed for a class. We were told to create a character that will sell fire safety awareness.
