Birdbeast_WIP

This is something that I'm currently working on. It incorporates a few tricks that I've learned in the last couple months or so.

Thirty Days 2010: Day Three

Here are some thumbnails for an idea I'm contemplating, a series of rocker girls playing different classic guitars.

Thirty Days 2010: Day Two

Thirty Days 2010

Well, it's here again. I'm participating in my friend Keith Ikeda-Barry's 'Thirty Days' project. The idea is simple, create something new every day for thirty days and post it. It started yesterday and,unfortunately, I missed my first entry due to a MUCH later than usual band practice. So, from now on I'll be posting something new on my blog everyday for the next thirty...erm twenty-nine days. How's that?

Dump

I know, I know. It's been a while since I've posted anything new. So, here's a dump of stuff I've done since I last posted. These are a few pieces I did that are basically brush experiments. Usually, I'm trying to master the technique of painting with one round brush, nothing else. But, sometimes, I like to rifle through a bunch of different brushes in order to push myself and to help sweep out the creative cobwebs.

Thumbnails

I've been having a lot of fun lately doing thumbnails. They allow me to think compositionally and, in the case of color, do color studies. They're also very relaxing.

Kitsune

I did this for the character of the week competition on conceptart.org. Unfortunately it didn't get in due to the submission count. I had fun on it but I've noticed a few things that I'll want to fix...

Nightclubber

I've been getting more adept at the oil painting technique of painting light over a dark ground. Given, this is all done in photoshop, but the analog still applies technique-wise.

Demo Reel

This is a demo reel of some of my work. Enjoy.

Eagle Girl

This is a character design I did that was inspired by my daughter and her cousin's pretending in the next room. I overheard "I'm eagle girl!" and I thought that it was a cool sounding character name, if not terribly original. I think I will do more with this character in the future.

Been painting monsters...

Mostly these are experiments in technique. I'm constantly adjusting and adapting what I know to get what I want.

Color treatment

This is a drawing done by my brother. I simply colored it. I was most interested in all the pencil "noise" from the original scan and how it added texture, like the effect in some of Keith Thompson's work.
