doodles

2010-07-02T22:47:00.000-07:00

Just some quickie sketches. Feels good to draw after working on 3D models for so long. I don't know what the left guy is doing with his hand haha some new gang sign maybe? haha I guess this was inspired by APB, since my roommate just got it. Seems like a fun game.

Studies and Projects

2010-05-12T02:29:00.000-07:00

Here are a few studies I did in the past few days as warm up. Top left and bottom are Sargent studies (1.5hr top left, 1.5hr bottom), top right is a Leyendecker study (20 minutes).

And here is another shot at my Peter Pan redesign. I like this one a lot better than my previous design, but it can still use some work.

Studies

2010-05-01T17:28:00.000-07:00

A couple of studies I did during Dzu's workshop this morning.

First is a Sargent study, which took roughly 1.5 hr

Second, I just googled some Renaissance stuff and chose to paint this person. About 45 minutes for this one.

Lastly, which was not done during the workshop, an underground cave of those Cambodian ruins. What if there were ruins that extended into the earth that people never discovered? That'd be cool. This one was roughly an hour, give or take a few minutes.

tink update

2010-04-26T03:29:00.000-07:00

Front and profile render of Tinkerbell. Will be doing a 3/4 tomorrow/today along with a sketch of the cockpit. My hand hurts...

Feedback is welcome!

Ship Carrier Concept

2010-04-22T03:07:00.000-07:00

Some ship thumbnails and a WIP concept for the chosen thumb. This will be a battle cruiser/carrier and will be part of our overall scene based on the Unearthly Challenge.

Small Peter Pan Update

2010-04-19T01:23:00.000-07:00

Tinkerbell Concept. I'm actually designing her as a vehicle instead of an actual character. I thought I'd take this into a completely different direction.

Down below are a few different ideas for Wendy. Not entirely sure which one to go with... hmm Anyway, I wanted Wendy to be Peter's information girl. She gives the intel of the mission Peter is on and gives status report, etc etc.

Another Samurai WIP

2010-03-19T21:45:00.000-07:00

I've been on this samurai craze lately... haha One or two more after this one.... I swear!

Touch ups

2010-03-15T23:33:00.000-07:00

Edit 3.18.2010

Throwing some more textures on some smaller props from our Prototyping level based in the Free Realms universe. Gave it some wear and tear for more interest.

Slum WIP

2010-03-03T23:11:00.000-08:00

Here's a WIP of some ghetto/slum like part of a town. Basic atmosphere and value/lighting block-in. I'll probably make this an overcast day scene, about noon'ish. Gonna try to get this done by GDC. Any critiques would be great!

Lurkers in the shadow

2010-03-01T00:57:00.000-08:00

UPDATE 3.4.2010

Changed up the piece with crits received.

Here's what I've been working on pretty much all day... A female barbarian in a swampy environment. Creatures are hidden in the shadows, stalking her as she journeys to her destination.

I can probably use some critique to change some stuff.

Old Drunk Samurai

2010-02-24T18:11:00.001-08:00

Update 3.4.2010

Got some critiques and revised these two drawings.

EDIT (Update):

Old drunk samurai revamped. Although, I made him a lil bit younger on this one. Played with his proportions a bit to get it looking a bit more realistic.

Peter Pan redesign WIPs

2010-02-20T01:25:00.000-08:00

This is my senior project WIP. Going for The Agency style. Peter Pan (top) is supposed to be a spy while Captain Hook (bottom) is a mercenary.

Creepy Crawly!

2010-02-16T11:14:00.000-08:00

This is a concept I did, and will be going over for a class demo. The topic was to create something that had symbiotic features, in my case, I decided to make a new parasite. Very small guy, only two times bigger than a tick! The process I went with this was silhouette thumbnails, to basic gray scale render, to final color.

pscs3 and 4

In the works

2010-02-07T22:09:00.000-08:00

Some things I have been working on.

Here's a quick process of the pathway painting leading up to the final render.

Demon!

2010-01-26T00:16:00.000-08:00

Text to come later.

Blizzard Inspired Wizard/Sorceress

2010-01-20T20:23:00.000-08:00

As the title states. Worked on this pretty much the entire day. I still want to do some work on this. I'll get back to this on a later date.

Speed Paints

2010-01-11T22:36:00.000-08:00

Just some speed paints I did while sitting in on a class. The first one was about 1.5 hrs, and the second one roughly 40 minutes.

I took a drawing I started on earlier today, which wasn't turning out very good, and tried to find abstract shapes by layering a copy of it on top of each other. I eventually found some shapes and worked with it and came up with the first painting. I did the same with the second painting, but I used the first painting to find it.

Samurai!

2010-01-02T20:28:00.000-08:00

Did this while hanging out with Glenn at Krakatoa coffee shop. Going for another Blizzard inspired character. This is like, barbarian meets samurai and they were combined into one to become an unstoppable force.

Barbarian

2009-12-19T02:21:00.000-08:00

A Diablo III inspired barbarian. Still a WIP, and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the leggings...

Come out, come out!

2009-12-11T16:29:00.000-08:00

Here's an update of my composition shot. I got some feedback on this and I'll be adding more to it over break.

A WIP of one of my composition shots for the airship. Captain hook is bombarding a city in search of Peter.

Coffee Table

2009-12-11T03:22:00.000-08:00

An attempt at a realistic looking coffee table. So hard to do... Maybe I'll revisit this later and touch it up.

Assignment for Modern Art class. Simulate an artist.

The Agency

2009-11-13T22:39:00.000-08:00

Senior project has now officially started. We are now kicking off our actual portfolio "pieces" to have ready by the end of the school term.

For this project, I will be simulating a style based off "The Agency," a spy MMORPG by SOE. I will be incorporating Hook/Peter Pan into my designs just to give it a little twist.

With some feedback and suggestions, I've decided to begin my concepts with Hook's flying fortress air ship, which would technically be his pirate ship. Pan (the spy) will be infiltrating this ship to recover an item that has been stolen from him, or to just bring Hook to justice. Story is still in development.

Anyway, critique, comments, suggestions, and/or feedback are all welcome.

And here is our beloved hero! I haven't thought of a name for him yet... something with an "S"? haha How abouuuut... Samuel?

Anyway, this young man is the protector of Fort Rysk. He fends off foes with his super human powers and fists of fury!

Playground Fort WIP

2009-10-29T01:19:00.000-07:00

UPDATE:

Got a bit further on the render. I may still adjust a few things here and there... maybe some more grunge?

Here's a quick WIP of my "hero prop." There is still much to do!

Sr Proj Planning and Moogle

2009-10-24T00:00:00.000-07:00

Senior Project Planning

2009-10-20T23:17:00.000-07:00

And so it begins, by taking this class, my life is officially jam packed with concept art! wooooooo

This is for the concept art "test". The story is of a young boy who has a grand imagination. He protects his home from invaders within his fort that is built up of boxes, bricks, and whatever he could stack.

Nude female

2009-10-13T02:37:00.000-07:00

Male Portrait

2009-10-10T17:02:00.000-07:00

EDIT:

Wanted to fix this one... the initial painting looked like Sandman from Spider-Man 3! Well... not that similar, but that's what it reminded me of. So I made some adjustments after doing the Dexter portrait. I feel better about this one now.

Portrait of a male from imagination. Was trying to use a technique I learned from a book. It's pretty fun.

Life Drawing (Nude)

2009-09-17T10:59:00.001-07:00

Here are some life drawing sketches I've done during this quarter.
The poses range from 5 - 40 minutes.
I usually go to study anatomy, so there won't be any amazing artwork.

Rembrandt Study

2009-09-14T21:53:00.001-07:00

So hopefully if I'm motivated enough, I can do more of studies of one of the greatest painters of all time, Rembrandt! This was a lot of fun to do, but I need to analyze better on how he paints his subjects, light/shadow, materials, etc. Hopefully if I do enough I'll have a better understanding. Next time with color perhaps?

Animal stuff

2009-08-29T12:32:00.000-07:00

Just a super fast painting of an Indian (Native American) riding his horse. Felt inspired after seeing some of Justin Sweet's studies during Marshal Vandruff's Animal Anatomy Workshop last night. Yeah... the proportions are pretty off on the horse, but hey it was quick! haha

pscs3 > wacomGraphire3 > 0.5hrs

Ok I lied...

2009-08-07T01:36:00.000-07:00

I guess I had some time after all! This was done for concept art club at school. We were to design a Sith from the Star Wars universe in 30 minutes. My initial design was craaaap. I don't even want to post it up! So I just had to redeem myself, so I drew up a new one. Painting is in progress.

Possible blog hiatus

2009-08-03T21:40:00.000-07:00

I will probably be having a blog hiatus for a little while. I may post some things now and then, but it won't be as frequent.

But you can catch me here:

Here, we (Team Warhide) will be posting up progress of our work based on the Free Realms universe. Feel free to watch us! =]

A semi-quick portrait of Hayden Panettiere.

Had another art block thing to do my own character/drawing, again... So I thought I'd just finish something I started last week.

Not sure how this will turn out on other people's monitors, might be a bit dark since I'm on my laptop.

Hope you guys enjoy!
