Laughing Rat...

Quick little concept sketch I did for a spec job...

Nightcrawler UnderPainting/Sketch...

In the vein of my Wolverine Sketch that turned into a painting I thought I'd do a Nightcrawler next. Don't know if I'll do all the X-Men, but the last one was fun...

Figure it Out...

When I do my figure drawing, 98% of the time I focus on the female figure cause its always been harder for me to get the pose, attitude and subtly of the anatomy with women than men. It's defiantly more of a challenge and figure drawing elements translate from women to men easier, than the other way around. I'd rather have slightly feminine looking men than slightly manly looking women. Enough spiel...

Wolvie Painted...

Did this in an "Oil" Paint style.

Figures...

I won't always post my figure drawing stuff, but if there is a pose I like in the bunch, I'll throw up the whole sheet. I use berol color pencils (no erasing) on black strathmore paper.

Wolvie Quick Sketch...

Ball point pen sketch with some quick color thrown on it . Gonna have to paint this one when I get a chance...

Figures...

Zombie Gettin' Yucky...

Removing symmetry and getting uglier...

Wormy Painted...

Just a little friendly color...

More Figure Drawing...

I actually do 1 hour of figure drawing every weekday morning, to keep my chops up.

Wormy Sketch...

I will probably do a quick paint job on him in the next day or so...

Zombie Detail...

Starting some early detail stuff, before I remove the symmetry. I wanted to get a feel for how I was gonna lay in details and still retain forms. I think tomorrow I'll start the process of adjusting the really damaged side of the head. Then finish up the details.

Finally...3D Zombie Update...

Still pushing the general forms around, once thats done I'll need to remove the symmetry. Eventually I'll get to the detail stage

Lumpy Color Comp...

Photoshop and lots of new tricks I learned from some recent tutorials made the process even faster than usual.

Lumpy Monster...

I might need to paint this one up...

Fighter Sketch...

Another Robot...

Stepping Thru...

Black and white illustration, done in ball point pen and felt tip brush-pen.

New blog Design...

So I spent the majority of the day redesigning the Blog template, not an easy thing to do since I'm not a coder and it was a lot of trial and error. I like it though. But wow, theres no purple...

Luchador Sketch...

...Made up Luchador, I'll call him Mascara de Chupa.

Sometimes...

...its the accidental stuff that comes out the best.

In this instance I was doodling on my blotter sheet and liked this one enough to post it.

Profile Helmet...

robot concept sketch...

Post-Its, Post-its...

Mas Post It...

3D Zombie

Decided to see if I could do a high poly sculpt of the zombie I painted earlier. This is stage one and two. First the low poly mesh and then the first pass on the high poly sculpt. The low poly mesh is a little over 500 polys.

Dont have the final poly count for the sculpt yet. More stages to come...

Cyberguy Revisited...

I wasn't particularly thrilled with the first color sketch I did of this guy. So I decided to take another pass at him and go more monochrome blue.

I Love Post Its...

Give me a pad of Post Its and I will doodle all day long... I blame storyboarding, cause it was so convenient to make quick corrections or continue a scene with a Post It rather than completely redraw a panel.

Monochrome Hard Brush...

This was a weird little sketch in that I used a hard brush for everything, mostly me experimenting with something completely different from my pastel-ish style I normally use.

CyberGuy...

Quick little concept sketch, ball point pen and colored in photoshop...

Zombie Finale...

Finally got around to finishing it all up. Again a lot more than a sketch, but it was fun to do. Click on it for a closer view of the carnage.

Something 3D-ifferant...

Got a trial version of Mudbox, and thought I'd give it a whirl. This is about a 350,000 poly mesh sculpted with a Wacom tablet, however it started as a 24 poly cube. I sub-divided it 7 times and then reshaped, pushed, pulled, smoothed and made it into this head. Yeah I know it needs ears...

Zombie Progress...

Another few hours thrown at this...

Zombie Update...

Its a work in Progress this week. I am gonna post it as I work my way through it and hopefully finish it before the week is up. Trying to do a "Rembrandt" style with deep van dyk brown shadow areas and hi contrast light areas. We'll see if it holds up and stays within my plans.

Zombie Portrait...

This is the rough sketch for my next painting, took about an hour to do.

And...

...The rough sketch I started out with.

Skull Three...

Fun little composition sketches...

Quick easy and fun to do... click to see detail thats not really there. I should also point out these are heavily inspired by the animated movie Mulan and some of the compositional exercises in some of the Mulan workbooks .

Figure Drawing...

Couple of pages of figures...

Teensy sketch

Just a quick one today at near microscopic size...

More than a Sketch this time...

I decided to post a conceptual piece I did today, its a weird looking PlatyFish creature. My next step is to build it in 3D, do a high-res sculpt and texture it too. I'm pretty happy with it and can't wait to start building it tomorrow.

Click on it for a much higher res view of it...

Mondays sketch is finally up...

Surprise, surprise Skull number two...

Skull number one...

I think I'll see how many skull sketches I can get up here.

Another Graphic Look...

...Although a lot more sketchie lookin'.

Old Sketch Painted Up...

The Hulk is one of my favorite characters as a child and still is to this day...So I took an old pen and ink sketch and did a paint job on it.

Going Graphic....

Quick little graphic sketch of kylie Minogue.

Weird Painter Experiment

Sometimes liquid ink and pastels are not kind to each other. I think thats what happened with this weird sketch...
