lazy eyes

found this little painting study on my hard drive. kinda forgot about it! fighting with photoshop, as per usual.

 

Hi guys! Long time no post (!!!). Here's a thing I finished recently.

(I might have to purge the old posts on this blog. they're... very old.)

always playing catch-up.

I have been neglecting this blog!  :< so here's some recent stuff:

My take on Gnomon Workshop's monthly  2D challenge!

The theme was "death knight." 

Mass Effect is one of my favorite video game series. 

This is my very, very tired Cmdr Shepard 

a fish thief! might have more of this guy and his friends later.

a thing i made~

today's sketchbook pages

these are some of the more legible pages in my sketchbook. (the rest of them are mostly messy incomprehensible scribbles!)

monochrome update

some  lighting studies with a character i've been designing for a 3D challenge on CGHub.com. over the next few days i'll post my concepts, backstory, and hopefully some 3D beginnings for more context. 

iPad study

Here's a little thing I did on the iPad with the Procreate app. It's super fancy and very capable, I highly recommend it. You can export your work into a .psd file too!

(the lack of pressure sensitivity with the iPad is a huge drawback unless you get one of those new Bluetooth styli that have those capabilities. Fancy stuff.)

a little update

WIPs forever/sketches

i have a neverending amount of stuff i start...(also i'm still alive, i'm still drawing.)

update..????

i'm not gonna lie, i've been avoiding updating this blog thing. or maybe i'm too shy. 

the following pieces are inspired by Barry Yourgrau's short story, "Night Work," published in the book Wearing Dad's Head. weird stuff galore. I feel kinda stuck--i'm not too happy with my style--it's OK, but i'm not too thrilled with it. and i overthink things like style way too much, yadda yadda... -___-

Pastures of Heaven

 

This is part of a recent project based on John Steinbeck's second book, The Pastures of Heaven. The stories in the book are set in Salinas' Corral de Tierra. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL THERE ohmygosh
(I got to talk to a local and took lots of pictures).

John Battle out to hunt  demons.

i love it when this stuff happens!

 (...excluding when i used to take classes in Maya and i had a project due--the program just decides to glitch on me because i pressed the wrong keys. DARN IT!!!)

photo post 01 - downtown

It occurred to me while taking photos for an assignment that I should take more pictures just for fun. Haven't done it in a while, and I miss it a lot. (well, excluding my camera phone. I take lots of pictures with my semi-smartphone ... but I'm just too lazy to move the files out of it)

an update... finally.

wooohooooo. 

in progress, just for giggles. copypasting forever with digital artifacting:

WIP, etc.

sometimes i go into a drawing frenzy and then i draw like crazy. i get some kind of artist' high (like runner's high) and then it disappears, and then it all sucks.

from  an ongoing project (WORK IN PROGRESS!):

PETER as a cat from Paul Gallico's Jennie / The Abandoned.

I also own another book by Paul Gallico called The Silent Miaow. This guy really loves cats. A LOT!

MIAUW~~  

Also some stuff from my last project: Jules Verne's  20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Captain Nemo, some of his props, and his dive suit. I'm still in the midst of fixing things... REVISIONS FOR DAYS~

Captain Nemo!!! (first versions)

most recent project. hurrah!

ideations:

(need to update more...)

talking animals and pointing a lot

A WULF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING

these are some character designs for a Nickelodeon Long Distance Learning Project that my university was very fortunate enough to procure. They're not where I want them to be (yet) but I had tons of fun doing these EXTREEEEME key poses. Tex Avery style expressions are very much advocated (eyes popping out and whatnot). Some of the eyeballs I drew have this Jhonen Vasquez look to them...interesting. (I think Nick should make new seasons of Invader Zim. Just sayin')

(ohboyicanseesomanyerrors)

some things

(both are WIP, i suppose. definitely not done with the one directly above. definitely not done with anything. also, i can't believe i used to digitally draw/paint with a MOUSE!!! i'm definitely feeling more adept lately painting in photoshop--with my 4x5 tinytinytiny wacom graphire tablet. i'm still struggling with digitally creating linework, though. TINY OMG)
