WOWMagento Ecommerce Website design, hosting and maintenance

This is a quick caricature study of Spock that I illustrated in college.

The new versions of the websites Terry’s Village and Oriental Trading were launched at the beginning of the month. My main contribution to these projects were the tabbed sections on the home page of each site. This was the first time that I had used jQuery Tools and I found it pretty easy to work with. The trickiest part was adding another link for “view all” within the tab, since the whole tab was already a link itself to a corresponding tab pane. I ended up using a button with an onClick event to keep the link from being treated like a tab. I still need to figure out how to link directly to a certain tag without a page reload. More jQuery goodness coming in the future.

I’ve created a section in the site for my Web Design projects. I will be putting up some of my previous web design projects immediately and adding others as they come along. Check out the new Web Design section and contact me at shawn [at] ssarts [dot] com if you need any web design work done.

Here’s an update on Ethan’s portrait showing the progress made since yesterday. More hair put in, some shading around the eye socket, and a start on the nose.

I apologize for the lack in updates on Ethan’s portrait in Feb. I’ve finally hunkered down to start working on it again. I must finish it in the next few days, so some caffeine will definitely be consumed… Get ready for a flood of update posts!

Anyway, here’s the latest progress. Mostly just more hair rough-in. I’m not dreading the hair as much as I usually do. Probably due to the fact that I didn’t leave it till the bitter end with a deadline looming. A little more hair work, and then it’s on to those chubby cheeks.

I finally got a chance to work on this drawing again. Here’s tonight’s progress. Ethan 1 year portrait step 4. Tonight I spent most of my time working on the eyeball and a little more shading on the edge of the forehead where it meets the hair. I also roughed in a little bit of the hair, but will continue to put that off till another time. Eyeballs are much more fun to draw than hair.

Step 3 update. More plaid, and some cheek shading.

Step 2 update… Here comes the plaid.
