Gettin Back Into Posting

Another personal piece I came up with after getting inspired off some other artists.  Really enjoyed painting this!

Forest

I realized the other day that this blog has been silent for a while, so I thought I'd throw up a personal piece I've been working on.  Forests are awesome.  Hopefully my life will settle down soon, and I'll be able to start posting more regularly.

Big B.

Had a few spare minutes and wanted to work on my understanding of soft vs. hard edges.  Thus, I give you Beethoven in all his grayscale glory.  Focused all my efforts on the face.  I should do more studies like this.

Icy Ice

Here's the final version of the painting I posted up earlier, plus a prop/model packet of the lamp the character uses.  I enjoyed working on these, and enjoyed the class at AnimC a lot (learned tons).  I still feel like I could improve these pieces though, and will probably revisit them at some point as well as flesh out this project.

Painting Ice is Hard

I've been taking a class over at the Animation Collaborative in Emeryville, and it's been really instructive in a lot of ways.  This is a not-quite finished piece from the project we've been working on, based on aspects of Robinson Crusoe.  I'll keep working on it, still feel like the ice isn't icy enough.

I Choose You!

Some friends and I recently participated in creating Pokemon art for a charity auction.  It was a fun experience and I was happy to contribute, even though I am not a huge Pokemon buff.  I got the Pokemon Sandslash, and this is my take on him.  I wanted him to seem more aggressive and less cute than the actual design for the show.

Doodle

Been messing about with the pen tool in PS.  Here's a doodle of some dude.
