Big Ol' Update

I realize this is my second large update. I'm really going to try and not make that the trend. But for now here is a big ol' blog update. Some finished pieces and some unfinished pieces is what you will find. Hopefully nothing to offensive. Enjoy.

This is basically a response to something a friend of mine said one day.

A close-up of the lil buggers.

A Christmas card that missed the deadline. But I like the way it turned out. Inspiration was the old stop-go Christmas Specials, especially with the backgrounds.

My friend needed some assets for a Space Invader type game, and I saw it as an opportunity to pay homage to a recently fallen hero. This is one my favorite things I have done.


Ok so. These last two are not originals. These are end products of tutorials I did. I learned so much from both of them. I just wanted to show you how cool they are. Typography Tutorial. Space Tutorial. Go forth and learn.

Quick mock-up of a set I want to eventually build in Maya. If anyone one wants to take a crack at it, your more than welcome.

A dragon sea horse sketch.

Fox Cameo.

Some weird Mushu/Falkor mash up thing.

So there you go. Some polished pieces and some not-so polished pieces. I've got some more, that I will post later. But for now, this will do. All efforts to learn and find my place.

All these were done in PS CS3. I just bought some inking supplies the other day. I want to start doing more traditional art as well. One of my major inspirations has been these videos, http://www.youtube.com/user/jawboneradio. So keep an eye out for that.

Hope all is well.

Summit Work

Here is the aftermentioned big post.

This is some stuff that I did for Summit Church in Orlando. In the end it wasn't used, but that doesn't mean it will never see the light of day.

The characters are from the Base Camp Live children's ministry.

The characters were made in Adobe Illustrator, painted in Photoshop, and Grandpa Henry was animated in After Effects.

Hope you guys like.

Bon Appétit.




When Blogs Are Gone For A While.....

......They get big posts to make up for the absence.

Expect one soon.
