Some sketchbook drawings that I added a quick bit of color to in PS. Experimenting with different ways to get more bang for my buck when it comes to scanning the original drawing and then adding digital color. I’m trying to figure out how to complete my hand drawn sketches while letting them breathe and [...]
More 7Star development that I did in…early April, I believe? It was pre-Gearbox, when I was still trying to beef out my portfolio with Mass Effect level realism. Since then my mentors at Gearbox have nudged me to continue to develop my stylized work and play up my strengths. Which, to be honest is advice [...]
Gearbox offers bi-weekly life drawing sessions, which is AWESOME! At MICA I tried to draw from the model for at least a few hours every week, so I’ve been a bit rusty getting back into the swing of things. There are about 100+ drawings that I’ve omitted because scanning is a nightmare… so I’ve picked [...]
I did some basic silhouette ideation for practice. I started with these dudes: And was then advised to push shape and proportion way further: Then I took a few of my favorite shapes and did a loose comic-booky looking paint job: (Yea one is basically just a Fox-Wolf, these things happen.) I’d like to polish [...]
I did these a couple months ago for rendering practice and forgot to post them. At the time I was focusing on pushing various meathods of surface rendering. This was good practice, but in the future I intend to put detail aside for a bit so I can focus on larger issues like form and [...]
Been on a scanning run lately. These are just various Spektrum City character doodles/ development from my sketchbook. I plan to keep pushing this project in a more stylized direction since 7 Star is more realistic.
What began as a handful of character portraits I did to practice drawing realistic faces of various ages and ethnicities has somehow expanded into a full on new idea for a Sci-Fi story. (Tentatively titled 7 Star Lotus, until a better title comes to me.) This (fake) project that I will be using for portfolio [...]
What could possibly be more badass than all 5 Vault Hunters locked in a showdown against the Xenomorph Queen and her brood? Nothing! (Click for full view!) And here are some details I think are particularly awesome: I’ll most likely continue to work on little bits of it for the next few days… I’d like [...]
Check out these bad boys and girls in full color! (Click the thumbnail for the full-size view! It might take a minute to load because its a huge image.) I had a really fun time designing this set of minor characters and coming up with interesting quest descriptions. I never understood why in so many [...]
Here’s a new dude. Like every character in Spektrum City, Bolt is a warped modernized version of a character from Norse Mythology. This guy is basically a corruption of Thor- the God of protection, nature, and thunder. In this version he has lost his connection to the Earth and runs a For-Profit Military organization. (Basically [...]
