Divine Proportioned!

Just wanted to throw this one back up.  Didn't like the 1/2 body cut off.

Pron and Sketching

Just getting back into the swing of things.  Getting inspired by all of the other artists keepin' on!

Enjoy!

Inside The Mind of...

Hello again! I hate these long breaks between projects. Work takes soooo much out of me, yet the creative juices are boiling over in my brain.  Haven't seriously worked the cintiq in about a month, other than some chicken scratch.  But in an effort to keep the blog roll spinning, here is a collage of a couple of older pieces.  It captures the essence of the characters, if you know the whole story... ;)
I know that I need to do this book, but I keep talking myself out of it.....

Staying On The Ball

Just a figure study I finished today.  Spent about 5 hours...
Keeping the momentum going.

Push Btn

Pushing "Resistance" to the side and moving forward, whether it sucks or not.
Recently got a shot of inspiration from the book, The War Of Art, by Steven Pressfield.
I recommend it to anyone who procrastinates any endeavor.

Enjoy!

Update!

Rather than move on to something new... I decided to explore new layer types, to obtain a new look, and add some vibrance to my workflow.  The Linear Dodge and Pin Line layers seem to make some cool effects, when your goal is to blow out a specific portion of an image.

Promise Kept

Just wanted to post a few of the recent pieces I've worked on.... Birthday present and card design. Tryin' to be all artsy and creative n' stuff.
Nuff said.

Enjoy!!!

Panthro Complete!

Finally took the time to finish this bad boy.  Although I'm not happy with the background, I'm motivated to move on to something new.  I'll plan it out better, next time!

Enjoy!!

Panthro WIP Day 3

Just an update on the Panthro painting I was working on.  Nothing special.
I love how Instagram adds the cool filter, so I don't have to waste more time in Photoshop.

Enjoy!!

Panthro Progress

Steadily getting back into the painting and drawing groove.  Worked on this old sketch of Panthro today.  Working with some new techniques in Photoshop.  Added depth with some gradient overlays and some multiply layers for Ambient Occlusion and shadowing.
My brain is so weird at interpreting my sketches.  I have no idea how I extract the lines or the lighting scheme that I do.... So don't ask how I did it.

Enjoy!

ZKB Redux

I was going through some of my old sketches, and stumbled upon a concept piece I sketched. I had colored it originally in Photoshop, but felt it deserved better.... So here it is! Forget about the old one! This one is hyper saturated and has a nicer lighting scheme. This time I painted it in Painter, and finished it off in Photoshop. Included the WIP, because it looked cool on my desktop.
Enjoy!

Another One From The Old School

This is Red. I sketched this one years ago, and started playing around with PS effects and vector coloring. It looks ok, but never turned out to be anything more than a sketch... Oh well. Enjoy!

Old School Sketch

Here's something I forgot to post to my blog. Back from '09. I've always liked this one for some reason. It was featured in an online magazine a few years back... Don't remember which one. I believe it was related to the Schoolism crew, or something along those lines.
