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.
