If I were a clown...I suppose I would drink

I'm screwing around with the colors and lighting on this and would love for a few people to take a fresh set of peepers to it.

Dont get burned

Alright so this has been in the workshop for a while now and Im finally pretty satisfied with it. Id like to think of this as step one onto something a little more professional down the line. I like the techinique but maybe it could be stylized a little more. I think the girl is pretty cute but maybe she could be cuter. Ive been told that the biggest problem is context. I thought the coppertone girl was a cute idea but what do you all think. let me know.

Jelly

A digital painting done for design class.

Does anything jump out to anyone as being an affront to good taste?


(made a few changes)

A New Take On The Nutcracker

Ok, I may not have time to fix it before class this Thursday, but let me know what you guys think. For anyone not in my Styles class the guidelines are to have black, white and no more then two colors besides that. Graphic.

With that being said, it isn't really my thing. But its still kinda fun.

Two of my favorite birds I have found.  Painted these for watercolor class.

Pale Face WIP

Ok, so ive been working on this one for awhile, a lot of back and forth without getting anywhere, This is a big revamp from the train wreck that it was to anyone who saw it, I could use some encouraging words and a bit of help I think before I go back into it, let me know if its something worth pushing further

Tank Girl & Friends

A personal piece I've been wanting to do for awhile of Tank Girl. Who's creator is one of my all time favorite artists Jamie Hewlett. I'm still not done coloring it but I thought I'd post it anyways and get some feedback.

this is my image of the word fear.  I'm stuck,  I need some help.  I like it so far but I don't believe it is finished,  I know the pink lines need to go.

Childrens Book

Hey everyone, these are three color comps for my children's book, we don't have class this week so I thought I would see what you guys think about them. They are all double page spreads.  The one of only the clouds and the one of the two in the grass will have text on them. I havn't found the right font yet though, so it's not on there yet. The full landscape one is the closest to what I want color wise so far, that muted quiet look is what I'm going for. So let me know what you think.

I did this real quick for my portfolio.  It's from a picture of my little sister.  If you guys have any suggestions that would be sweet.

Stealing the West

Here's one of my spot illustrations for styles and concepts. It was for the Aaron Burr article on how he was acquitted for trying to steal the western US. Oh, and by the way, I finally got my blog up earlier this week, so check it out and let me know what ya think.

Self portrait with the Beastie Boys.  Don't know if I'm done with it.  I made this to send to Hallmark, either they will think I'm  the illest illustrator or a complete loser.

Humorous Illustration

Here is a quick comp. sketch for my humorous illustration class. Any thoughts or ideas?

aaauuuhhhgggg

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
fuck.

i've been working on this for probably over a month.
iii just don't know. it doesn't look done to me. there's so much more that i want to do/looks like needs to be done to me. but co and my teach insist it's fine. so-- for now at least.

4 FUN + 1!!!!!!

So yeah. I'm really sick of school projects and hadn't really been doing my own projects either. So to get inspired again, I just decided to crank out some good old fashioned Star Wars art. I'd like to think that it's pretty much done, but let me know if there's anything that just really pisses you off. Anyway, I guess I'll call it.........."The Grand Dance of Darth Callus." Sure. Why not.

UPDATE!!!

Okay, since there was mention of music, I'll share what I have so far with you guys. Really the only way I've been able to throw this stuff together is because of my being sick and skipping classes. But anyway, it's a work in progress. Trying to keep with the classic John Williams Star Wars sound which has been a learning experience in itself. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy. You can listen to it here. It's the song called "Confronting Darth Callus (WIP)" (as would make sense with the painting :P) There's also a bunch of other stuff I've done over the years if you haven't heard it already. Cheers!
