Sketches

2012-01-12T13:22:00.001-08:00

Here are some photoshop sketches I did these past couple of days to warm up. I'd like to do sketches like these everyday. They're really quick, maybe about 10-20 minutes at most.

Gears of War 3 Wallpaper contest

2011-09-28T21:10:00.001-07:00

This is my entry for the Gears of War 3 Artists United background competition. There are some really awesome prizes for this, so I thought I'd give it a shot. This is 100% Photoshop.

Work in Progress

2011-09-08T20:39:00.001-07:00

Here is another vector portrait for a poster I've been working on for awhile now. This part of the design is mostly done, although I may still tweak a few things before the final image is done.

Zipitone experiment

2011-08-26T11:31:00.000-07:00

This piece was created using some homemade zipitone. I decided to try making a halftone pattern in Photoshop then I printed it on some clear adhesive paper. I've got some original screentones from Japan, but I've always been hesitant to use them in case I messed them up. I like how this turned out and I really want to experiment with this further.

On A Street Bench

Here's an illustration I did mainly to practice inking. I was also playing around with storytelling in this image. I know there are some issues with it, but it was mainly for practice.

2010-10-02T06:04:00.000-07:00

Recently I submitted a piece to The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers art contest in association with New York Comic Con. My picture won 4th place and will be shown at Radio City Music Hall! I am trying to figure out a way to get to NY without breaking the bank. Anyways, here's the picture, Gollum Leading Master Frodo and Samwise into Mordor:

This is pastel on paper, approximately 25 x 19.

And here's a bonus Ent I drew:

My future sister-in-law recently got married so I made another wedding poster for her and her husband. Congratulations, guys!

Life drawings from Dr. Sketchy's

2008-12-16T08:19:00.000-08:00

Life drawing is fun. When I was in school I took as many life drawing classes as I could, and I was sore after I graduated that there were no life drawing sessions anywhere in Savannah. But now we have Dr. Sketchy's, a mix of Burlesque and life drawing, which turns out to be an interesting experience. The models are costumed, so there are usually different themes for each session. This month we had a tikki theme, definitely appropriate for December. Its run by Jen Marlow, and any locals should come check it out. Its a lot of fun.

Here's some drawings from the last two sessions.

Models: Image 1 - Nicole Edge. Images 2-5 Scarlett

New Art!

2008-12-15T17:22:00.001-08:00

I've got a bigger update coming within the next few days, but for right now I wanted to upload a poster I did for a good friend's wedding. This was done entirely in Illustrator and it was my first real attempt to learn vector illustration.

First Post - Judeau Fanart

2008-10-04T14:28:00.000-07:00

Well, I thought I'd get my blog rolling with a piece I did for a friend of mine who was moving. He originally got me into Berserk, so I thought it appropriate to let him know that I still enjoy it to this day. Judeau was a character I admired from the show and the manga. He is only in the manga for a few volumes, and was essentially doomed, but he was fairly good natured about it and goes down like a champ.
