oh ?

Vacation Project #1: The Fisherman

This is just the Color Comp. Let me know what you guys think. I feel pretty good about it so far. I plan to do it Mixed with acrylics, gouache, and maybe some color pencil. The final will be 18x24. I was really trying to use a limited color scheme this time, we'll see how it goes.

And I am still messing with the look of the fish its not quite there yet...

Happy Holidays, Mr. Death!

If the grim reaper lived on your street, you would dick him over all the time with sacks of poo and what-have-you. This is common knowledge.

I had some trouble sleeping the other night and so I did a little speed painting. I figured I should do something over break and I'm hoping to start doing these things with more regularity...this is a little different than the way I usually paint with photoshop so let me know what you think.

THANKS AND ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS

xmas gift...possible SOI

EDIT: piture
Well, ive been working on this for a couple of days now. I figured It was to a point where I could throw it up here to get some opinions and such.

I think the theme has affected me a little too much. All I want to do is snow scenes =p
Plus I had this idea for a scene with a woman and a clocktower for quite awhile now so I decided to get it out.

Not much of a story, I just wanted to do something with a sense of ELEGANCE.
II feel like I could put a lamp post in somewhere

Merry Christmas everyone

The Minnow and the Sparrows

hmmm, so. this is... unexpencted.
started as a sketch of one character, but she turned into something else. but liked it so kept going.
she was going to be gutting fish but it turned out to be birds. but kept going.
so now i don't know what the fuck it is 'cept that photoshop HATES the levels and didn't want to make it look right. might be this monitor too. i'll have to go look at this on other comps later. >____>

ANYWAY-- i want to colour it, but i usually don't pull through with that. >______> there's also some sloppy elements that i want to go back in and clean up some even if i don't colour it but [nodnod] i just doesn't feel like a final line drawing because i wanted to add some ripple-ish stuff but would rather do it in colour not pencil. [scratches head] eh....

styles and concepts

hey guys I need some help on this one. I want to submit it but I know it's not done yet. It's supposed to be Gerald Scarfe's style (the guy who designed Pink Floyds animations on the Wall. )

Japanese Ghosts

EDIT: So, I took a screenshot and the colors are fine it seems. Photoshop is doing something weird with color profiles. For shame.

I've been doing a speedpaint per day of break. Here's three of them I kind of designed to go together. All of them were rather quick, except for the fat man, who I got caught up rendering the face of.  

I have a few other little things, but they are more practices in some more dynamic drawing than anything. These are more, easy concepting, and me going back to my old brushes for a bit.

Sidenote: The colors dulled quite a bit again when blogger got it's teeth on this. Anyone know why? My actual png is fine. Did it my last post too. It's really annoying. I can pull up the png in preview, and hold next to this, and it is noticeably greyer... it's always done it alittle, but now it's really messing with my pictures.

minotaur

This is my idea for SOI. It is the myth of the Minotaur. I wanted to make it really stylized like Greek pottery and keep with the black and gold color scheme. I think the background should be black with gold figures. The pattern on the top and bottom is supposed to be the heads of some of the Minotaurs victims. I can't ask for a critique yet i'm still just trying to get ideas, if you guys have any suggestions that would be awesome.

OH DEAR !

Skechbook pro is very nice this is a test to see what it could do

Here's my entry to the alive contest. I rushed like crazy to get this out before midnight.

Good luck to everyone.

Why I don't do happy things.

I must say... was pretty miserable doing this one. Hate how it came out. Posting it anyway to document that I can actually do smiles. Colors dimmed when it was compressed. AH WELL.

On an unrelated note... I need to do something with feet.

Oil

Here is my final for Clary's class.

Pillow-Head VS Snooze Robot

An epic battle between Pillow-Head and the Snooze robot . My inspiration for Pillow-Head was when Jake put a pillow on his head and ran around our room at Illuxcon. The rest is a close interpretation of what I go through to wake up in the morning. Also this was done for Styles and Concepts which I didn't go to. Hope you like!

Mr. Sandman

This is one of my society pieces.  It wass for black and white illustration and it is done in pen and ink.  The scan doesn't really give it justice, but anyways I would appericate some feedback.  Thanks

Humorous Final Reporting in.... I had fun with this. I think my favorite thing was trying to get it to match those old Grindhouse movie posters from the 70's. Hope I don't offend anyone!
