It's been a very long time... and I'm just getting back on the horse!

Another Birthday.... Minion Style

By special request, here is the painted over version of a Minion I drew for my niece.
Sketched it and painted in Photoshop.
Enjoy!!!

Dinumsaurs

I just finished this piece yesterday.  Made it for my nephew's birthday present.  I think he liked it... As much as any three year old could.  He really loves those dinosaurs.

Enjoy!

Here's the original sketch concept.

S'More Frag 3D

I've been screwing around in ZBrush again.... I love this guy! He makes me laugh.  Seems there is a real life Frag in my city!
Enjoy!!!

Noob 3D Lines

Just threw on some lines and additional color to an old 3D render.
Enjoy!

Noob.... Nuff Said

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.....

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!

Concept S1

A quick concept exploration piece for a top secret project.....

BEARRRAINSSSS!!!

Nuttin' like a zombie bear to make your day! Morning sketch baby!

Noob & Frag Comics

Here is my original comic strip creation Noob & Frag. It was a bi-monthly comic I did in addition to a newsletter at work. It was pretty fun doing it, and it always made me laugh while I was drawing them.
They are old, but still funny!

Enjoy!!!

Squidbilly... In 3D!

Finally finished! Started in ZBrush, and ended in Photoshop.
Seems not too many people know about Squidbillies, so I'd suggest checking it out!
Render Passes were done in Maya, and it took forever to get the lighting and materials right. But I learned a lot.

Enjoy!

Birds... And They're ANGRY!

Here is a painting I finished today. Started in Maya, then ZBrush, then ended in Photoshop. I love those crazed birds!

Those stupid pigs don't know what they're gettin' into!

Enjoy!
