2011-06-30T12:54:00.001-07:00

(head and arms turned off for now, tweaking the legs and torso!)

Quick ZBrush Sketch.

DTWTF - Getting the hell out of HELL

2011-02-10T01:19:00.001-08:00

WTF was I thinking??

2011-02-01T01:00:00.000-08:00

Almost got run over by a train, DURP. In my defense, the train on the left had its light on ....(even though it wasn't, as it turns out, moving at all).

DTWTF - GTFO

2011-01-28T17:57:00.000-08:00

Total rage dream last night.

DTWTF - Hallway of horrors

2011-01-25T22:55:00.000-08:00

DTWTF - NO

2011-01-25T22:53:00.000-08:00

Ugurgagah, no sleep! URRRR.

DTWTF - Shadow Panthers

2011-01-25T22:42:00.000-08:00

Last night torn to pieces by hilariously named "Shadow Panthers". (Not pictured: About 50 more "Shadow Panthers" eating me alive.)

V is for Venus Fly Trap...OF DEATH.

2010-03-01T22:42:00.000-08:00

A quick creature design from a page of my sketch book.

W is for Woods Watcher

2009-10-09T01:46:00.000-07:00

One last post before I get to bed. Done in some prisma markers.

M is for more color work!

2009-10-09T01:05:00.000-07:00

Whoo! Slap some color on there. yeah.

T is for textures, WOOOO

2009-10-09T00:55:00.000-07:00

OOoo, the colors. Pretty shiny colors.

B is for Bears everywhere!!

2009-09-17T19:30:00.000-07:00

I love this guy, he's one of the two protagonists for my groups story. He's a pissed off bear who had been captured in the middle of his hibernation and the only thing he wants on God's green earth is some friggin' sleep ( much to the dismay of his counterpart who is, unlike Bear, rather concerned about their impending deaths at the hands of the mad Captain, Ed)

G is for "Guards!"

2009-09-17T18:20:00.000-07:00

Another concept from my groups story in concept art class. This fellow here would be one of the villains invented minions, we thought it'd be cool if the robots were completely made of wood, much like the captain.

These guys are simply called "Guards", they're only purpose is to make it impossible for the protagonists to escape. They are never alone, traveling in a group of at least three and when they sit themselves down next to each other they create a formidable wall ( though with budget restraints, the captain couldn't afford to give them arms, much to his ever maddening frustration.) So while being somewhat threatening with their freaky-ass teeth, they only stall for time and spew hilariously ineffective insults while backup comes to do the real dirty work.

V is for variation

2009-09-17T17:50:00.000-07:00

A darker, grittier version of my teams villain. The group decided that this version was a little to serious for the overall mood of our story and preferred with the more bipolar/ bumbling character posted previously. ( this guy looks like he'd eff you up for the hell of it and then feast on your face for dinner. Good call by the group.)

E is for ED

2009-09-13T00:52:00.000-07:00

An expression sheet for the villain from my Concept Art class.

From top left to right:
1. "Is that a twinkie?"
2."Yes! I knew we had one left!"
3."What? It's just a really old hot dog?"
4."I HATE hotdogs."

F is for Figure Studies

2009-09-13T00:45:00.000-07:00

Various figure studies from Saturday model sessions at the school, which happen to be awesome.

"For the love of God, HUG ME."

2009-08-04T00:45:00.001-07:00

A crazy animated stuffed frog-man. He Just wants to be loved....Or to kill,I can't really tell.

F is for figure study

2009-08-03T17:19:00.000-07:00

Sat in on a figure drawing session this weekend. It's super fun to go and hang out with some great teachers and friends while buffing up on anatomy.

E is for even more storyboards

2009-08-03T17:06:00.000-07:00

Some quicker storyboards showing the Captain and his wooden man-servant/ unwilling partner in crime, Horatio. (read top to bottom)

S is for Storyboards

2009-08-03T16:55:00.000-07:00

A couple storyboards from my concept art class, focusing on the villain.

O is for Office

2009-08-03T16:21:00.000-07:00

An early marker study of the interior of the Captain's office.

P is for paranoia

2009-08-03T16:15:00.000-07:00

The exterior of the Captain's room. The portraits on the wall are there to establish his egotistical personality as well as his paranoia ( the fish-eye downward shot along the same lines, unsettling overshadowing).

C is for Captain

2009-08-03T16:09:00.000-07:00

The villain from my groups concept art class. His body is made entirely of wood and screws and the only part of him that remains human is his head. Victorian themed clothing and body.

M is for Mover

2009-08-03T00:46:00.000-07:00

Another creature/ monster design from my concept art class. This creature would be the size of a whale and float only about five feet off the ground very slowly. It makes the sound of a extremely loud, low frequency horn blow with strong warble to it. Because of it's immense size and close proximity to the ground, they have a tendency to leave destruction in their wake, plowing through any obstacle. Besides the unmistakable path Mover's create, the heavy, fleshy tails that hang off their undersides leave the equivalent of a "foot print".

H is for Howler

2009-08-03T00:37:00.000-07:00

A creature/ monster design created in my concept art class. It would be quick and agile like a gazelle, and when it ran wind would funnel through the holes in its head creating an eerie wail.

K is for Knight

2009-04-25T15:31:00.000-07:00

Tonal character sketch in Painter.

G is for grown up

2009-04-25T14:28:00.000-07:00

Grown up version of the previously posted character.

U is for Unsure

2009-04-25T14:09:00.000-07:00

Recently picked up a set of gray scale prisma markers and they adequately rock my socks.

S is for Sketch barf

2009-04-25T13:51:00.000-07:00

Doodles galore!

F is for figure model

2009-04-01T00:13:00.000-07:00

This lady was my favorite model so far.

H is for heeeell no

2009-04-01T00:05:00.000-07:00

Oh snap. No you di-n't. Uh uh, girlfriend. And so on and so forth.

T is for turnaround

2008-11-07T13:46:00.000-08:00

I really enjoyed the feeling of the concept for this guy so I had to do a turnaround of him. Thank goodness for extra-wide sketchbooks, yay.

U us for unusual

2008-09-18T10:57:00.001-07:00

Another quick character concept. I just finished finals and have two days off before the next term.

Gotta get drawing before the homework piles on!!

G is for grumpy

2008-09-18T10:57:00.000-07:00

A quick character concept, wanted to make a tough-guy.

M is for meanie face

2008-08-27T12:20:00.000-07:00

Gah, you have no idea how annoying to not be able to pick up wi-fi even though your lazy-ass of a computer is perfectly capable of doing so. >:\ Thanks alot imac G5.....anyway, this is what i'm working on right now. More Painter practice....

C is for Hand Cube

2008-05-23T17:04:00.000-07:00

My Dad's big, meaty paw holding a square candle. Just graphite pencil and mechanical pencil on sketchbook paper. Probably a couple hours on this one.

I is for Ice Cream Sandwich

2008-05-17T12:45:00.000-07:00

So, I would have updated this yesterday, which is when I enjoyed this fabulous treat. But, unfortunately my mother clipped our internet/cable line with hedge trimmers (oh Mom, you and your shenanigans).

Another funny/inconvenient incident happened earlier that day when I was watching a trailer of M. Night's new movie. Right as the TV roared "The Happening!!", all the power in my house went out. I thought this was a little overdramatic, even for Mr. Shyamalan. I'd hate to think every time that commercial rolls, major cities receive momentary black-outs.

Z is for Zomg Zombies

2008-05-17T12:08:00.000-07:00

*My progress so far on my zombie mosquito monster character. The thing on his face will eventually be a drill head, with which he shall dominate.

W is for Woods Watcher

2008-05-06T08:53:00.000-07:00

Creature/monster turnaround in currently working on ( along with a billion others. I'm up to my neck in monsters...and I love it!)

L is for Lazy

2008-01-31T21:26:00.000-08:00

It's a self portrait, kidding! Ah, it's a coach potato. What more can I say?

Messenger

2008-01-30T20:40:00.000-08:00

Gouache painting/ character design.

I is for Illustration

2007-12-12T16:33:00.000-08:00

I used myself as a reference but tweaked the colors. (I don't actually walk around in a nuclear-yellow jogging suit).

W is for Watercolor

2007-12-11T17:12:00.000-08:00

A tiny unfinished character sketch of a green elf ? I don't really know.

F is for $#&@

2007-10-25T17:02:00.000-07:00

An illustration for an article about children and swearing.

G is for Geisha

2007-10-24T20:31:00.000-07:00

A crazy weird character/ creature design my brain meats brewed up one day while I had my watercolors out.

N is for Agent Nothing

2007-10-24T19:26:00.001-07:00

Holy crap! Bad guy.
