Meh warmup studies.... I didn't feel very invested in these to be honest. Probably something to do with the study on genocide I was listening to. Hard to draw girls in bikinis while listening to people getting horribly brutalized in Serbia. O_O

Practicing darker skin tones. More reflective than lighter ones, it brings a whole new challenge x3

Also, first time really using Corel Painter. It's definitely a challenge!

Bunny Viking is out slaying Easter Bunnies, with his hammer, his belt of rabbit's feet, and a cap made of the scalp of the first Easter Bunny.

This may be the most entertaining speed painting I have ever done.

A friend of mine was feelin' really down. I drew them something sappy to make them feel better :)

Update on this one! Still a ton of stuff to fix from the initial sketch, but the face is already looking better.

WIPs

2010-06-11T03:09:00.000-07:00

From the sketch in my last post, I've started painting this guy. It's still in the very early stages, but I figure I might as well track it's progress as I go.
Update on the self Portrait, just started painting it again. Added a yellow tang! Going to try some different techniques with the coloring here and see what comes of it.

OMG Update WUT

2010-06-09T14:12:00.000-07:00

I haven't updated in what seems a lot like forever so I am making a very very tiny little update.

I'm going back to school soon, so I figure I may wanna elbow in some posts here n thar.

So here we have some quick designs for an animation project and a sketch for a in the works painting. w00t.

Griffin Skeleton

2010-04-06T00:50:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the bad photo!
I have loved to draw the skeletons for the creatures I make up since I was little. Making things work just makes me happy. So after some serious and irritating dead ends, I have designed a griffin to the best of my ability. Here's the insides, outside parts should be coming soon!

Sketches

2010-03-11T16:38:00.000-08:00

From a few months ago... Probably around December or January. Never posted them here though. Mostly stuff from my Zoo trip with Joe Weatherly, a few of my teachers and a bunch of my classmates. Joe's pretty amazing, I learned a lot that day.
There's a lot more but these are my favorite pages of the day.

I've done a lot of more recent sketching. I've been working a lot lately so my butt's glued to the computer.... So I'll draw my own stuff during the breaks. Which has led to the following images

Yey for Dolphins in Mecha suits!

Same as the mech dolphin, this will hopefully evolve into a full fledged piece. I'm really happy with how the renderings been coming out.

Another self portrait of.... myself, Not quite happy with it. I feel it's getting overworked.

And finally some advertisements for the super secret project. Here's the sketch....

And here's the Ink progress

Xiao

2010-03-03T07:00:00.000-08:00

A companion piece to my goldfish. My betta, Xiao Hong, who sadly passed away ((was brutally murdered by another fish!!!)) this last week. She really broke the stereotype that female bettas aren't as colorful as males.

I have two others but Xiao had the spunk and personality.

2010-02-22T05:34:00.001-08:00

A more finished version of the previous 3 point turn.

Nom!

2010-02-16T17:15:00.000-08:00

I've never owned a goldfish until now, I used to wonder what the big deal with them was and now I know! I have a lovely little black moore goldfish and I adore her. It baffles me how she manages to make me smile just being ungainly and clumsy and utterly obsessed with food.
Her name is Nom, (as in omnomnom)
And this is what happens when you love your fishy too much.

Project1

2010-01-14T17:38:00.000-08:00

The unfinished first piece of what will be many, many designs.

2010-01-14T11:41:00.000-08:00

Some alien creatures I has designed for sketch group. I've grown sort of fond of them

I've been pestered to post it... I painted this dwarf sperm whale as a gift. They are someone's character, you see.

Mitchel

2009-12-20T20:00:00.000-08:00

I have two brothers. One we do not speak of and one is my baby brother. He's turning 16 and I cannot believe it. I painted him in honor of his coming of age. My inspirations for this piece were Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and just the look and feel of Mexican paintings.

Dolphins

Something I painted this morning.

Happy Thanksgiving

Mermaids n caves

2009-10-04T23:30:00.000-07:00

I really like the cave, I want to make it into a full fledged piece, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I painted the fishes in honor of my recently deceased fish, the last of which died yesterday.

Painting more mermaids, one of which is ending up a little more typical, but I'm basing her more off of an axolotl (mud puppy, water dog, etc.) They are just waaaay too cute and I figure the pink molted skin will be enough to unsexify her.
And now the disturbing mermaid!!! She started out as a muscle study, I was looking at body builders. I started to play with it, added big fake boobs and a head (with a displeased expression too) I based the non human elements off this really awesome kind of plankton that exists in the antarctic called a scyphomedusa. It's actually been fun since the anatomy is so extreme, I think I'll finish it add it to my mermaid collection.

2009-09-14T02:35:00.000-07:00

Some studies on color and light, Trying out some different techniques.

I'm conveniently always around in case I need a model for myself.

Something I did for a contest

2009-03-29T22:09:00.000-07:00

Here's the work I turned in. They all still need adjustments... But there's no use crying over spilled ink (ha hah I'm funny) back to the drawing board. (more artist humor)

Stuff

2009-03-10T00:15:00.001-07:00

Meh... I think I'll paint this over one day. Maybe.... or paint something else based on this design. I like the tattoos.
He's still not done, he really is taking forever, it's really just finding the time. Plus some mistakes were pointed out to me recently so I have to repaint a little bit :/

2009-03-01T20:18:00.000-08:00

This is something I did in my own time for my own purposes.

Here's a design for one of my classes, not finished of course.... But I'm pretty proud of him even though I'm not a big fan of using textures this way.

2009-02-06T09:59:00.000-08:00

A robot Design for one of my classes, it was designed for work with hazardous material. it's can shaped back end used to store the bad stuff. Basically he's a big trash can that specializes in bio-hazardous material.
