Grasshopper bot!

needed a new post... I've got so much stuff i need to scan in, so hopefully i'll get a chance to post more soon.
Also:
Starting my prep for comic con! only 2 months away! whoot.

Gallery!

Twas the "99 pieces of art on the wall" galleries opening last night - besides it being somewhat of a sauna in the studio full of people and bright lights- really fun times were had.

these are the four pieces I submitted, and the moon piece sold opening night!!

wknd shannanagins

my roommate and I made a hungover painting this sunday.

fireworks are tricky things for a photoshoot.

dangerous girls...

you know who you are...

pool night.

Just a nice casual birthday party at the pool hall :) good times

Adventure time!

just a comic cover - one i don't exactly plan on drawing, but i wanted to bust out the cover in any case :)

ever listen to a song... and even thought you've heard this song multiple times... it suddenly makes way too much sense?

sometimes thats great. sometimes that sucks.

all depends

The Canoe Trip...

me and some friends embarked on a canoe trip this last Saturday... it was pretty crazy. Im going to make an updated image once I grab the photos.

hot chick

ya, know, cuz she can make fire.

poker night!

just some fun with photoshop curves :) and the nachos were tasty too!

an amazon woman or something...

The Swine Flu Vaccine

I've had a cold the last couple days... and with all this crazy swine flu craziness,
i couldn't help but feel paranoid.

But then it turns out that swine flu is a sissy wuss of a virus.

However, from what the media is making of it, it sounds like the black plauge part 2...
slow month for news i guess.

and i don't actually have it.

rock climbing!

haha, just a quick photoshop manip- myself and some friends have been frequenting the indoor rock climbing scene. super fun times. here is us on the real thing.

We would totally own that rock.

Spring sketchdump...

just the latest batch of sketches with promise... :P

need to keep up on my posting...

well... things have been busy... but then everyone is always super busy, uber fun ain't it?

been concentrating my artistic efforts on a gallery im entering in a couple weeks, I'm almost ready for print prep. exciting times :)

you know whats especially interesting? as soon as you find yourself drowning in projects, you think of 12 other things you would rather be working/starting on. But as soon as you have free time- you go blank.

stupid brain.

stay classy.

can i keep it??

still under construction...
I wanted to use this piece for an upcoming gallery- however I've been staring at it so long that i don't know what to think of it anymore, y'know?

your thoughts would be appreciated mates!
cheers

colour comp

trying out some colours with watercolour pencils- ill use this as reference for the final digital painting.

a reeeeallly big boat. that flies.

Im in the process of getting my first 12pg comic ready and coloured, the script is about 80% done, the main characters are nailed and ready to go... its all coming along.

The first issue takes place on a colossal airship, one that has a huge dining/dancing hall.

Think floating Titanic.

I think this sketch will help me with the final drawings, however I need some much more dynamic shots- I plan on using this sketch as a background painting in the captains cabin or such tho.

Cyren

Be wary of hot chicks with harps, you have to do anything they say.

mermaid progress

Mermaids rock.
Scanned in the first one, printed it out at 10% transparency and drew it again, this time making the hair look a little more like "seaweed dreads" ( copyright, me :p ), going to make a coloring attempt sometime soon!

also planning on checking out the River City Collectors Expo this weekend, just to see what thats all about, anyone ever been??

y'all stay classy.

some girlies

working on some characters/expressions, just playing around.

group shot

Fantasy Comic cover thumbnail.

ouch...

this is the equivalent of a doodle in vector, just a quickie
(ode to that fantastic scene in ff7)

the other, rather scary, mom

bit of fanart. lovely movie.

more abstract vector fun-ness. this ones called "diffused"
(there is no more depth to these pieces than "I think it looks cool" so don't go looking for some weird hidden abstract message. lol)

Freeze

jus having some fun with a freeze concept

Split

My follow up piece to "Frail" (older post)
thinkin i want to take another stab at this one down the line, but having a lot of fun with the messy broken style.

...I think I should also mention that I had just watched Mirror Mask for the first time, prior to doing this piece. I think it was an influence.

getting into photography.

just some of the shots I needed for a photography course im in. once you figure out what all 200 settings on your camera do, its pretty fun stuff.

the number three

this is what happens when a designer gets in an abstract/typographic mood. lol.

frail

some more sketches... i just realized how much I'm drawing women now. I used to cringe at the idea of drawing a girl, i think I'm getting the hang of it....

sketchdump feb

Been doing a bit of sketching on gray stock lately- and then i have a white marker which really makes things pop, fun stuff.

the creepy long figured things? ya, i just saw the movie Coraline (11 shades of awesome)
so thats what those things are :)
go see that movie! cheers

AFFFRRRROOOOOOO

"AAAAAAAAAAAAFFFROOOOOO!!!"

lol, im half wonky with sleep deprivation, BUT this movie was damn fine eye candy- they upped the anti about 4 shades since the original. kudos to gonzo studios.

people have been ripping on the storyline- but i had no complaints, be sure to check it out.
