Here's a bit of an art dump from my online portfolio as I keep on producing more work and look for a job (hello student loans). Kind of unsure which jobs I should focus on (environment/illustration/characters/level design) as I love everything. Well.. maybe I don't love UV unwrapping so much..

Some anatomy base mesh/study I've been working on to dust off my anatomy from those old life drawing classes and speed up the production of character models, still got some work to do bringing the rest of the form out. Started out as a dynamesh sphere, kind of got lazy on the legs and feet so I'll have to redo them as well. Really can't wait to get into some actual characterization and clothing.

Latest concept drawing for the day, feedback/crits are welcome as I may revisit once my eyes have a chance to relax:

Figured I'd take a break from strange characters and practice on some environments. Here's today's random landscape painting:

Here's a new painting I've been working on. I'm not sure if I'm happy with the gun on the left, although I put it up on the ole' portfolio for now since I felt I needed more interesting poses/angles/expressions compared to the rest of my work.

I should probably branch out of the creepy clownish creature territory for my next pieces, although they're always so fun to draw



Feedback is more than welcome and appreciated!

It's been awhile, finally got a job at an ad agency doing some 3d/motion graphics work for an ad agency. It's not video games but its a step in the right direction!

Anyways decided to buy corel painter and start sketching again in my free time to keep my creative sanity.


10min sketch of a random gun outta my head. I'm really liking how traditional these brushes feel in corel painter as compared to photoshop.

Strange little quick self=portrait. I'm not that scary irl!

Another fun little doodle.

Hopefully alot more to come!

Little work in progress I started tonight. I think I'm noticing a trend in asymmetrical shoulder pads.. woops


Little big daddy sketch I feel like polishing up later.

Beer me!

Trying out some different strokes/mediums in Corel painter.
Kinda like how strange this one turned out.


Easy axe drawing for fun:


Excuse the shitty chimney. Probably gonna retool this comp.

Early bunny sketch

Damn my stuff has been getting gritty lately..

Fucking strange sword:

Decided to draw a bird while suffering from abstract motion graphics fatigue.

Cool bird

Thanks!

Did a little test playing around with Terragen 3 as sort of a composition generator today. Basically I messed around with the program for a bit, took a few low res images I liked, and then did some plan old bashing the hell out of it in photoshop on one and a paintover in corel painter in the other. No idea if I like them or hate them but I had fun making them

Forcing myself to paint in more color rather than just doodle in black and white all day. Here's a piece I started today.

thanks!

It's been awhile since I last posted in this thing. Just a couple of random doodles for tonight after work to try and relax, I'm feeling a bit gloomy today =/
