Winter break=time for art

this is a painting i did for my good friend's wedding. He is a marine and put his time in Iraq so i got the red white and blue+Iraqs yellow colors going on. It is a bit of a spead painting but i was hoping the painterly look worked. What do you think?

I did this for my sisters birthday. Big guys representing the time of day with the sun or the moon, or with both. I was happy with the last one but something seems off for some reason. If any one has any advise i would ove to hear it. Thanks.

The Krampus

Hey illustrators! How are things. I really just wanted to join this blog to do the theme drawings, because that seems like so much fun...

This is the Krampus, a mythical german creature that Bernadette warned me of. Bern, I'd like to see your Krampus!

Cthulhu fhtagn!

You have found a relic of the Outer God Cthulhu, what will you do?
Run in terror: Turn to page 6.
Pick it up: Divide by zero, and foam at the mouth.

But seriously. I was looking through old posts and realized that we have no real 3D work to speak of...so I thought I'd go ahead and put up this little sculpt and see what people thought. As illustrators, I expect that most of you at least have HEARD of Cthulhu...if not, well, google is waiting. Anyhow, let me know what you guys think!

And another thing...

Ok, here is another main character I'm working on, I redesigned the armor to a more streamlined look than what I had actually drawn in the pages i did. I like it better. What do YOU guys think???????

Work In Progress: Mr. Goldielock

This is my winter project. It is a series of three art pieces. Its more or less, me figuring out composition and color before I actually paint this whole series. I would like some critiques before I continue...

EOW #130: The Water of Life at the World's End

This was done for the latest Environment of the Week.

(I'm still tweaking it, too.)

I realized I hadn't really done much surreal/fantasy work. Never really felt like I could identify with it so much, but I did really enjoy making this piece. It was a challenge, though. I ended up solving a couple of my problems using 3D. For example, I initially sculpted the actual water in modo 302, then applying a water material (refraction index 1.33, just like in real water) in order to figure out the distortion of the figures underneath. But I really backed myself into a corner compositionally.

In fact, it's got some problems what probably can't be solved unless I overall the whole thing, so it's probably a good idea to move on. But big thanks to the awesome folks at the critique center at conceptart.org for helping me out with a myriad of issues. Juggling a complex image is so hard to do objectively!

horses

This was what I did when classes were done because I hadn't actually illustrated anything for almost three weeks. I was thinking of Thom Yorke's new single Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses, (it's just as wack as the Eraser) sorry for the blurriness

Gummy Super hero

1 more for you guys, This is the main character of my manga. 'Spose I shoulda done this before I actually started on individual pages but I work backwards sometimes. Any way, Its about 11:15 Dec 31 of 09, so the signature is technically correct. Hope every has a happy new year. We've got 2 years before the end of the world so lets live it up people. Peace.
