1 Minute Gestures

2012-01-23T13:51:00.000-08:00

I can't stress enough how important it is to do studies, and practice your fundamentals. Also I want to make a point that no matter what excuse you may have about doing them, just do them. Find time, even if you only have an hour! I did all these in an hour, and forced myself to only spend 1-2minutes on these. I learned a lot and found things I still have questions on. I know now what to go practice some more. Practice practice practice. Don't expect your studies to be amazing, if it's easy then you are studying wrong.

2012-01-20T14:05:00.001-08:00

Was looking at some Adrian Smith stuff, got me inspired so I started to do some brush studies, and found a way to mix it in a bit with how I like to paint. Needs more practice but I'll get in better control with it soon enough ;)

The piece above is something I did while I home!

By request some fragile practicing! I shall do more.. cause it was hard.. and hard means do more til you get the hang of it. :)

John Harris afterwork Study :)

2011-11-11T21:01:00.001-08:00

After walking around my co workers desk I saw this book with the art of John Harris in it. I became an instant fan. I love his sense of scale and atmosphere. So I took one of his paintings that I loved, and tried my own version of it. It's not a direct replica, but I sticked pretty close to what he did.

Another Lunch Sketch!

Lunch Sketches week 1

2011-11-04T18:28:00.000-07:00

So I've decided to start doing at least one sketch during lunch, Whether its a study or just having fun. Here we go. Let's see how long this lasts.

OLD DUMP!!!

2011-10-28T10:32:00.001-07:00

Lots of stuff I found and Decided to dump on you guys! :)

Astro Studies!

2011-10-21T20:30:00.000-07:00

I've been meaning to do a good realism study from photos. I don't like taking more than a few hours to do something, but I forced my self to spend some time to think this through. So after doing several attempts that made it hard for me to be quick and accurate with my proportions. I devised this interesting method of really separating it into segments. The more I thought of it as segments and individual shapes. It was much easier to draw something complicated, in a short amount of time. Once I nailed a good section I'd merge them down to have good layer management. The method was fun.

I think the point of why this worked for me, is it kept it simple. Also, the fact that each segment that was broken, created a strong hard edge. So it created nice and clean separations without excessive noodling and correction. The next step is to do this again and find a way to design and even finish paintings with a more of a realistic vibe. Anyways I hope this gives some insight. I learned alot, especially about how real strong shapes and values go a long way. :)

Inspired by Dark Souls

2011-10-19T22:35:00.000-07:00

Inspired by Dark souls. Getting Medieval and stuff! Also, to help get a good direction for the art vibe for a my classes project. I hope its all good.

Greg of War

2011-09-23T22:23:00.001-07:00

I listen to IGN podcasts all the time. But from time to time, they bag on my beloved Kratos. This upsets me greatly! Greg Miller put on his IGN review, KRATOS SUCKS! I understand it's all an opinion! BUT WHY GREG! WHY! :) I'm a huge fan of theirs so this is just my friendly retaliation to these attacks on our beloved angry Kratos. You sir, just like Kratos, yell a lot! So why not deck you out in your Missouri Tiger Colors, and chicken wing weapons and go toe to toe with Kratos. You sir will lose everytime. These are my words, not the words of my family over here at Sony Santa Monica!

BEYOND. ;)

So after reading several comments and taking a gander at my thumbs. I've decided to go with one of my thumbs that I actually liked quite a bit, and decided to flush it out. So far, I'm having a great time with it. And decided that this is where I'm going(for now). So I'm basically going to render this bad boy from here on out till the due date! So feed back on what I can sneak in (AS IN- People falling off his chest, or climbing his robe thingy, or moniliths around him) is greatly wanted as feed back to this dude! Even ideas on the color would be great!

All in all, any feedback will be heard and considered! Thanks for the help on the last round of feedback I shall go forth and render this beast. :D

Once I am done, I will upload the hi res version of this! :D

Basically my take on a Satan like god. Someone who is not only a god of those who are condemned, but is actually the hell you reside at when you are judged for your sins. Only then are you given a punishment relevant to your convictions.

"Thou not have knowledge of a benevolent god, but a god of torment truly exists in the hearts of the damned. Patiently awaiting their arrival." -unknown

Hi, So I was listening to the music from the new Clash of the Titans remake, and I was curious what that song was. I later found out it was the song from one of my favorite bands The Used. So I listened to it and got really inspired. Right after, I heard another song from them, and got inspired again. Making me think, hmmm how cool would it be to take how I felt from each song and do it all in one painiting. So I did, enjoy. :)

Here is another study that I did with designing to color. Practicing both my skill and my ability to design on the fly. As a concept artist it is important to never let your imagination be constrained by rules and formulas. Its better to apply rules and formulas after you have drained your creative juices onto your canvas.

1. I do a gray scale drawing to establish a design that I like.

2. This part I apply colors to describe the possible subsurface scattering found underneath flesh.

3. I apply a skin tone that I feel works best.

4. This is basically detailing and refining the overall design.

5. Final touches and I decided to give him a costume because he was too naked! Anyway, This is my general process for painting.

As for designing you have to watch me paint! or I'll have to do a long write up about subconscious and conscious designing and painting. Anyways :D Enjoy yall!
