Love it!

I'm not sure why, but I really like the way this sketch turned out. Enjoy.

Comic project in progress post

Here is a nifty little progress set for the comic project I'm working on for my portfolio. I have the pencils, inks, and two stages of color. I'm putting together a completely separate site to host this project so when I finally finish this first page I will link it here for your enjoyment!

Finally! Workplace sketches return!

Sorry about the long absence, I've been working on my webcomic and comic book a lot and haven't been working on anything generic. I will post some stuff from those two projects when I have more content for them. Anyhoo, here are a couple recent things I've scratched onto paper during meetings(first one) or waiting around outside(second). BTW, the outside of our offices does NOT look like this. It was inspired by a bush.

Enjoy!

Another cool work project

Here is an illustration I got to do that was used in a sponsorship ad for a charity ball.

Enjoy!

Visit to the Folks

This weekend, my little family and I went up north to visit my relocated folks. So I took a moment or two to sketch a picture or their home.

Enjoy!

Cool project at work

That's right, I finally got a cool illustration project to do for my job! I won't go into detail, but I had to design two illustrations to be displayed at 18" x 24" for a tradeshow that would be used during a demonstration. I have included the finals, the mockups that I pitched and only one rough sketch, as I forgot to scan the first one at that stage. I have to tell you, I didn't get nearly the time I would have liked to complete these, as it was a hideous "Rush" job. I definitely had more planned for them.

Enjoy!

Daily Sketch Group

Here's a sketch I did for the ConceptArt.org Daily Sketch Group. The theme was for a creature: LARGE ARCTIC SPIDER HAS HEAVY, BLUBBERY, WALRUS-LIKE FLESH Enjoy!

Cool new Photoshop trick!!

I learned this neato trick for PS where you can make ordinary photos appear to be tiny models or minatures. Here are my first few attempts.

New Photoshop painting

This is a painting I did yesterday for a new agenda design at work. It was modeled off a photo from the web.

FINALLY!

Finally I have managed to drag my ass through scanning all my new sketchbook work! Without further ado, my up-to-date sketchbook post...

More Meeting Doodles

This first image is from last week, I was testing out my co-worker's turquise pencil in blue-then I inked it. He thought it looked like the lead singer for Midnight Oil, hence the lyrics.



This doodle was based on a 3CH instant "quick theme" which is a neat website that generates random topics for painting and drawing. The theme was: "A supersonic octopus reveals a police officer in the vestiges of a lost civilization". Here's a link:

I may try to paint this when I finish the cedar painting...

New Work! continued...

Ok, I finally got back to work on this piece, having added the sky...



...and finished the old timer. Things are moving right along!



I did some more work on the old timer, added some blush and water stains from the rain. I only need to color one glove and his boots at this point...



(I'm restarting this thread here, because the original will get archived soon)
I started painting tonight in earnest. The other night I blocked out my colors but tonight I started the detail work. Enjoy!
