It's late...

Don't ask, I have no clue what the point of this one is. I was just up late and bored...

Ruminations, Adulations, and Experimentation

I drew this one and painted it all in painter x.  No to tracing and sampling color, but yes to using a photo for reference.

Thought I would post this quick sketch book sketch of my dogs in some crazy costumes and an attempt in painter to quick study paint my wife.  Man, nothing beats California sunsets on the coast!

In conclusion, I'm a nerd for posting a blog on friday night.  I must be getting old...

Quick Digital Abominable Snowman Painting

I was monkeying around with photoshop the other day because I haven't painted in it in a long time.  This is just a quick painting, about an hour and a half from initial concept to this, messing with different brushes and experimenting with different looks.  I couldn't decide if I like the blue snowy layer or not so I'm posting both.  I think I might get some reference and paint this in acrylic or oil as a finished piece for my portfolio...

Sketchbook

The first one is a spartan taking on a hydra, I started it on the plane ride home but never finished it...hopefully later.  This one below is a copy of an Alberto Vargas, I was just experimenting with watercolors in my sketchbook to see how bad it would come out. 

The one above is Grace Cathedral, I finally have a finished drawing of it!  I ran out of time the first time I went.  This one below was inspired by my trip to French Polynesia last January, such a beautiful place, it really gets in your blood (and if you're not careful, Dengue Fever too!!).

Some Sketch Book Stuff

Game Characters

I just wanted to get something started on this blog so here are some characters I created in Illustration 4.  I still have some more work I want to do on them later, but they are pretty much done.
