Noob 3D Lines

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

Michaelangelo Madness!!!

Finished up Mike today! Went into too much detail.... It stands out from the rest a bit. But who cares! Movin' on to Leonardo!

Also, if you can tell me which movie I took the quote from, send me a message, and I'll draw you a picture of one of your favorite characters!

Enjoy!



Some Lines too!

100th Post! Time To Party!

I love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! When I was a kid, I loved drawing my own version of them, performing random acts of violence against the Foot Clan. I loved those ultra violent comic books when I was growing up, but the Turtles I knew didn't really do that stuff.... Until now!
I'm trying to come up with a major Motion Painting that encompasses the essence of the Ninja Turtles, and is wicked awesome to look at.
This painting I worked on yesterday and today is just a concept of what I want to really paint. It's not as realistic as I imagined, but I'll save that for the final idea.

Freddy Cuttin' Up On Dat Azz!

I was screwin' around with the o'l Sketchbook Pro, and came up with this rough. I love how you can zoom and make the little details with the pencil.
Inspired by the Nightmare On Elm Street films.

Enjoy!

Blastin' Zombie Butts... Part 2

Another drawing I did for the Zombie Killer plug. I've been trying to work the old comic style of drawing lately. Again, structure, proportions and background images are what I am trying to work on. Years ago, I used to think that,"Screw backgrounds and hair and feet! I can draw those things!" Yet I never really took the time to pay attention to them, so now I am paying for it. Although, I feel that if I can draw a pretty face and a well proportioned body, drawing perspective background images should be pretty easy. They have been so far.
With this picture, I started it out as a two inch thumbnail silhouette. I then scribbled out a basic image, much like the previous image. I have a bit of an eye for eliminating the lines that are not important. I scanned it and traced over the lines in Sketchbook pro, and traced over those again... a lot of tracing. Then the flats, and then the shadows and then the painting and then... etc.
I feel I need to post the process, because I don't do enough work that it is engraved into my brain yet. Like a drawographical log... maybe a Dlog?

Enjoy everyone!

Zombie Killin' SOB

Just finished this quick color over of a sketch I did yesterday. I got the idea from a fellow DeviantArt peer. I haven't posted much art lately, so here goes.
I scribbled together some lines in my sketchbook, then I scanned it and inked it in Sketchbook Pro. I love inking in SB pro, because I don't have to worry about smearing the ink, or running out of it. Some of the lines are difficult to execute though. Like trying to create a steady curved or oval object. It becomes shakey sometimes. I think that is because I'm so new to Digital inking, or inking in general.
Just gonna throw up each of the steps, to maintain my sanity...

Donatello 4 That Azz!!!

Still workin' on this Cintiq. Trying to experiment with new techniques and styles. I find I have been gravitating towards the o'l Comic style art lately. I found that inking with the Cintiq in Sketchbook Pro is pretty sweet. I figure I'll save millions of dollars on Bristol board, sketchbooks, pencils and ink in the long run. If I ever decide to go the,"All Digital" route. Looks like that is where I'm headed.

I finished this one this morning. Good o'l Donatello. This began as a little sketch I did while working at Convergys in Winnipeg. I scribbled it out and attempted to render it out, then some cock sucker supervisor decided to walk by and say," Hey! That doesn't look very productive. Should you be doing that?" Since I wasn't busy, I figured I'd draw, but I gave in and stopped, for a few seconds... I quit that job shortly after. It was pretty much a bullshit job, like all jobs that don't consist of you doing whatever you want to and getting paid for it. One day though! I just keep on truckin'!
Just Juiced up the saturation a bit on the skin to get rid of the dull feel on this one.


Now for the purpose of Blogographing, I will post my step by step process that was taken to achieve the final result. Just a basic comic book style with a painterly look. The comic style art is how I began and I seem to gravitate to it every now and then. So I guess I'm going to keep doing it until I get bored.
Enjoy!!!
