The Don... is not pleased. Updated.

Edit: My buddy came over and took a photo for me. This is what is going to print more or less for class. It's a bit saturated, but a much closer representation to what I have in real life.

The don... is not finished. But finished to the point of being able to visit Mr. Boley, and persuading him. If you know what I mean.

And not in the sexy sort of way. 

I'd say the face is the only thing really on it's way. Literally everything else is very WIP. Oh, it's all acrylics thus far. Again no ref. So don't pick on the hands too much. I will indeed be shooting reference. Gonna use my dads hands. But he's three hours away.

Mermaids at Seaworld!

Finally got my Humorous piece finished. I know there are several things I need to work on still but due to deadlines... ill be lucky if I can get to both this and the fixes needed for my Aztec piece. BUT that doesn't mean you can't point out everything wrong. After all what else is this damn blog for?

The blog is for awesome times. Fun times. Anything that falls between those two. I would estimate the awesomeness of this board somewhere between Gisele Bundchen and the sun. And yes... I can edit posts. -Mike

By the way I realize its not a very funny illustration.

help me out....

Hey all, i need some advice before i say im done with this one, so i wanted to throw it up for a quick crit before thursday

also i have two flavors, one is regular one is panoramic, which do you guys like better

id like to here from as many ppl as possible, but i know time is short and this is the wrong place for this kind of art, but help me out...

New Comic Page

Just finished this up tonight. The second comic book page of my 13 wives story. Technically not the second page in the whole story, but for the class, it is the second page. It's annoying to me that I can't ink it. I really, really want to ink it. It would be so much easier to read without that visual noise. Lemme know what you think. Not a whole lot happens on this page, it's mainly just a intro page for this character.

WTF! ~Winged Teddies of Fury!~

So here it is. The finished SOI piece for Mahan's class. My projects for this class seem to be following a pattern of initially crashing and burning, then me having to scramble to save them somehow. I started out doing this traditionally with acrylics and colored pencils, but after about 2-3 hours of working on it, I realized that the surface I was working on was just absolutely no good for the technique. And thanks to finals week, there just was no time to try and redo it traditionally. So the computer saves my ass again! Oh well. Hope you guys at least get a kick out of it. :P

hrrmmggg. art funk retardation HELP :D

sooo i've been in this majour art-funk-rut-RETARDATION for like 6 months now, so been having issues with just about every project-- personal and otherwise. x_____x HERE'S A SHINING EXAMPLE!! :D

i don't think it's 'finished' but coey keeps yelling at me that it's fine. might be that i've been so enamoured and emersed in detail background/scenery for so long that i can't look at anything simple i make and feel it's 'finalized'. regardless, thought i'd ask--

any suggestions?

Roughly Finished Knight

Quick Edit: A speedie I did as a warm-up for today, before I get painting. Started it last night when I couldn't sleep, added highlights and a few more scribbles today.

Finished it up as much as I will for class. Getting this to print halfway correctly will require an act of god. Lot of things I wish I could do, fix and work on, but I have to crank out another painting tommorrow and tonight I have to get some more LA class stuff done. Figured I would just throw it up on here. 

All photoshop from start to finish. No ref.

I have returned

Its funny how that suggested theme over there gets in my head without me really knowing it, I didnt have any intention of making something for it, but it just hit me so I decided to throw my hat in the ring, let me know what you guys think

the other one is a final for humorous, im gona say that its done unless you guys convince me other wise, and yes i know that its late for a halloween pic

anyway i hope you guys like this stuff and give me lots of good comments and such - peace-

Well, if everyone else is doing it...

Well, it has a long way to go, but I'm relived I finally have it started. Things that will be getting fixed and added... The 30 or so demons/spirits with twisted wodden masks on, fixing the really wonky spirit in the middle of the comp, and some arrows and blood plugged into the main character. Since everyone else is posting theirs I just felt I had to. But yeah, very heavy WIP but due to other homework I have to stop for the night.

Rub-a-dub-dub

So, for SOI, the popular vote out of my ideas was to do a group of kids running with a flying pirate ship, over a sidewalk--while I still like the idea, the piece itself was going...badly. A few people had brought up divers, and the idea appealed to me, so I figured I'd give it a shot; what started out as a bored sketch ended up as a SOI piece that I actually had fun doing, go figure! Gotta thank Alex for yelling at me to do something I'd enjoy doing, mm-yup. So, tell me what y'all think!

Troy

This is my most recent work for a book called Troy. It is about two sisters in the city of Troy before and immediately after the fall. If I had more time I would balance all the colors accurately in the photo, but as it stands this is more or less representational of what the piece looks like without type. Whaddaya think?

Aztec Sacrafice

Alright guys, here it is. More or less. It's getting there, and I think I need an eye opener. I have been looking at it way to long. haha. Due to other things I need to try to get this done by this Thursday.

On a side note: I did play with moving the arm in the top right corner to be coming in from a bit higher but it looked a tad awkward. Sooooo I just left it the way it was. I'm pretty sure its mostly tightening things up and adding detail but let me know either way...

Two Red Suns

Edit: Can't sleep. So I did a really quick speedpaint. I really loved painting it. At the end of it though, I can feel Ashley Wood's resent haha. I can't wait till I have a new tablet. This squiggly line/no control thing is getting old after about a year.

Two new things. The first is based on the memoir "No Name Woman". It came out rather clse to how I wanted. I doubt I will change much more about it. The second is a sketch on bristol I started for a bookmark.

I never really did any kind of pin up girl but this is my take on the whole thing .
