In a time, long long ago.

In a time, long long ago. There was an artist that disappeared from his blog and now he has returned to show that he was and is still alive. Sorry about the lack of updates but I'll try to keep you guys posted with the occasional WIPs and artwork.

Its been a while.

Its been a while but here we go. I've got a character design, a model sheet and a Kaiju demo I did for my class.

Another Dragon? sure, why not.

This was done for the Dracopedia Winter Dragon Challenge where we had to do our own depiction of a winter dragon. I envisioned it being more adapt for a cold climate and environment. I took designs cues from reindeers, snow owls, artic foxes, alligators and mountain goats. I hope you guys enjoy. Hopefully it'll look okay to me when I have a fresh set of eyes. From what I can tell, I will most likely spend a bit more time on this guy and clean it up. But I need sleep so goodnight folks.

It's A Dragon

Yeah, Yeah.... It's been a while and I apologize for not updating sooner. I am still alive but have been busy with work, freelance and prepping my course that I will be teaching this coming January. Did I forget to mention that I'll be teaching perspective starting January? Anyways, here is a quick update before I head off to bed. Decided to go back to my roots with drawing something fun with nothing more than a good old pen. Its a Lava/Volcano dragon. This was meant purely as an instinctive exercise where I just let my pen and hand to the drawing while I just allowed my mind to visually build the creature as the pen and hand did its thing.

20 minute

Here's a 20 minute vehicle sketch I did for fun while I took a break from a bit of work. Based off of sperm whales and a saw/sword fish.

Blade Runner Sketchbook

Just felt that I had to absolutely share this with you all. This is one of those extremely rare art books that you normally only get to see if you know someone who owns it or you own it yourself. Other than that, this book is nearly impossible to obtain unless you pay big bucks for it.

Hippos

Heres a preview at a personal project I've been working on during my spare time. I'll fill you guys in with more info at a later time.

Sketch Art

So lately I've been doing Sketch Art samples to try and break into the sketch art business. For those of you who don't know what sketch art is. It's basically the pre-promo art comps for film and television that is normally done in 2hrs (tops) but mostly under an hour. So here's what I've done.

Story Board

Here is a storyboard of a father and son

quick update

Just a quick update. Im still out in LA and having a great time. I love the weather and I have been meeting a lot of new and really cool people. I'm currently working on a secret project for myself and when I finish, I'll be spamming you with notifications of updates with an art puke of the work. Look forward to it because I'm looking forward to it but for now, just enjoy this little diddy I through together for a buddy named Tommy Scott, who you guys should all check out at Tommyscottillustrations.com, as a mock art test. Stay frosty and live life with no regrets folks!

A quick nights post

So here is a quick little sketch that has nothing to do with the project I mentioned before. I just needed to clear my head so while I lost myself in thought, I just allowed my hand to take over and this is what happened when my brain shut down. I got a flying monkey. Hahaha.

Quick Teaser

So I have been out in LA for the past month and thought that it was about time i posted up a little teaser for you all. Or should i say a couple of teasers of some projects I'm switching back and forth between. I'll let you guys try to guess what they'll be.

quickie

So I'm sitting at the airport waiting for my flight to LA from Detroit and figured I would share with you the triptych that i painted for my older cousin's house. And yes, LA studios beware!! you are about to get ravished by one very charming asian (not that charming) .. mwahahahaha .. I'll be sure to update with my adventures in LA when I can. Also, sorry about the bad photo. I only had my phone on hand to take the photo.

and here you go, here is Gawain

quicky

Here is another quick update. What I have here for you are some character illustrations for the "Knights of the Round" game concept. Its finals week and I'm dead tired so there you have my quick and easy update.

Long needed update

So it's getting close to the end of my time at CCS and thought I would share with you the Turn around line drawings of my "Knights of the Round Tables" characters for the Dynasty Warriors game engine. I hope you guys enjoy these designs. Crits and comments are more then welcomed.

from top to bottom:
Gallahad
Lancelot
Gawain
King Arthur

quick update

Currently I'm working on a matte painting that is suppose to be representing Detroit's past, present and future. Its still a massive WIP but I figured I would share some new stuff with you guys to let you know I'm still alive.

The photo template I'm working with:



Getting rid of the unnecessaries:



And just to give you a basic idea of what it may turn out to be:

Painting days

I am going to try doing at least one painting every couple of days and post it up during this break from school to keep me going. On another note, for the coming semester, I plan to design characters for a "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" done Dynasty Warriors style or at least for its engine for Senior Studio. So the paintings that I will be doing will revolve around medieval armors, weapons and themes with design twist to the traditional armors scene. Here is the first one which is a portrait of a helmet based on Danish Viking helmets with a bit of an "elf" design twist. I guess you could even call it a bit celt inspired.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!!

This is a bit late but a lot has been happening and when its over in the coming few weeks, I'll fill you all in on it but in the mean time, here is an image dump of what I've been working on, have worked on and plan to finish. Have a good day and stay frosty people!!!!
