Here is a painting I did last night.  It took me 3-4 hours and its the first time I have done a full on digital painting like this for years now, so I am a bit rusty.

It is the creature from my short film "Bedtime" and aside from being too dark  it may be how he looks in the film. I will have to do more tests to be sure.

The line art and actual design of the creature was done by Josh Cotton.

If anyone follows this blog, I would love to know what you think.

I will be doing a painting of the two other characters in the film as well as the environment soon.  Then I will be ready to try and recruit help in getting it finished.  If you are interested, let me know.

I just finished my latest project.  It is now on YouTube, so go check it out.

If you are still interested in seeing more stuff, here is one that was finished sometime around December.  I didnt do nearly as much on this one, but it was still fun to be a part on it.

 Its been quite some time since an update, so here are some morning warm ups that i have intended to post and never did.

The first is sketches straight forward.  I was trying to place them in a designerly way so that the sketches are accenting the longer poses.











On the next one, I was trying a different shading technique.  The shading didn't turn out quite how i wanted, but the figure drawing turned out OK.













The next one is just a few sketches cause that was all i had time for that day.

And then there is another Superman attempt.  I think this one turned out better though.  I like this one.

dialog test

I have been trying dialog out again recently. This is my latest test. Nothing special and really short. I just wanted to focus on achieving good facial expressions and a convincing lip sync.

I found the rig online and I dont quite remember how, but I am pretty sure it was through this page some how.

Let me know what you think.

fun in the leaves

These are a couple of videos we made after we finished raking the leaves infront of where we are living now.

I'll post a cooler one soon.

warm ups

I don't do a lot of fan art, but I thought that I might try. I used to draw Superman all the time, but I have been afraid of drawing him for quite some time now, as y knowledge of what makes good art has progressed and my recognition that my skills are not to that point yet.

but then I figured it might be time to face my fears and go for it. So here is my first attempt. I plan to do a more rendered version of this in the next couple of days, but here it is for now.

oh and I should mention that I tried to emulate one of my favorite sketches of Superman, which can be found here. Its the one on the bottom of the page.

latest project

so ... I recently started doing freelance and I completed my first project for a client last week. It was pretty fun to do. And in addition ...

they are going to fly me to Australia to be a part of the tour!!

...

ok, not really ... if you have an interest, you can check it out. Its a little over 3 min long and it was completed with nearly the entire adobe suite. It was a fun little project to do.

dont look it up on YouTube(becuase it has the word sexy in it, the suggestions are a bit sketchy, unless you just want to add to the number of "likes" it has), just hit the play button.

Then here is the website where you can find more info about the tour, and what the video was made for: http://sexyonraw.com/
