Birthday megapost

2011-01-10T02:30:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I have posted anything on my actual blog, so since today is my birthday, I figure that is as good enough a reason as any to do a mega art dump.

for my 3d lighting and texturing class

some ice giants for my concept environment class, different takes on the same scene

a quick still life

another environment, giant in the mist type thing

this was a storyboard i did for class

This is a character for a mini project type thing i have going on in my head. more stuff involving this soon to come.(maybe)

a tremors worm thing

And finally, some sketches for an environment piece I am going to try and enter into a contest at school.

anyways there you go, im going to try and be better about updating this blog. new years resolution!

part of a school assignment, Mixing the game "Shadow of the Colossus" and the film "The Goonies"

here is some black and white thumbs that i have come up with for some basic ideas about what this stuff could be.

the first two and the last two are supposed to kinda go together.

Color Studys

2010-09-13T09:38:00.001-07:00

Done for school. Pretty much just a master copy, but the focus being on getting the colors correct, not so much worrying about detail.

Beach Bum Jetpack guy

2010-09-06T00:02:00.001-07:00

an old character I never really used for anything because I realized he looked to much like Master Roshi,

I remade him for the fun of it. Original sketch underneath.

Color Study

2010-09-03T23:39:00.001-07:00

Part of a homework assignment, Color study. Just trying to get the colors and temperature right, not so much focus on the details

The original is done by Jake Parker.

also I am back! Washington was fun! I managed to find a decently rare (as far as i know) book in a used book store, Figure Drawing for All its Worth by Andrew Loomis! Im almost done reading it. Totally made the trip for me.

Leaving for Washington

2010-08-23T23:52:00.000-07:00

Im going on a trip to visit some family, be back in about a week. BYE!

Facial Hair Gallery

2010-08-13T02:21:00.000-07:00

So I finally read the last Scott Pilgrim book, and I was planning on writing a huge thing about my feelings about how it all ended, but I think I'm going to read it again, and really think about it intelligently before I write anything.

Mr. Strong

2010-08-12T03:12:00.001-07:00

He would be the most charming gentleman you'd ever meet, if it wasn't for his strange desire to wear that disturbing mask all the time... it is a mask right?

2010-08-07T03:05:00.000-07:00

Used a photo ref, tried experimenting a bit with the colors rather then just leaving it plain old black and white boringness.

Assault Joe

2010-08-05T03:23:00.000-07:00

Done for the a DAB weekly theme. I had to make a some fake videogame box art based on a randomly generated title. this is what I picked.

I am bad

2010-07-23T00:33:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't posted here in a while and I am sorry but I have been doing art! just at another place, The Daily Art Brigade A blog I started up with a few other people with just the idea that if you want to get better you should be doing work every day, and if you join, thats what you gotta do. anyways I figure I should at least post something I have been doing over the past few days so I dont totally forget about this place. I have been reading the comic book the goon lately and I really love it. some fantastic artwork and writing. Anyways when I saw the trailer for the upcoming film by BLUR I just couldnt stop myself from doing a drawing. Still in progress but I have been having fun making it so far.

Here is a work in progress, I had been working on it for a little bit, and I think I need to set it aside because I am starting to hate it. I'll pick it back up again and finish it real soon though!

Still contemplating what to do with the background.

Clint

2010-05-20T16:19:00.000-07:00

This was an old character concept for my storyboarding class that ended up never getting used. Not really a style I am used to drawing in but it was fun none the less.

Schools out!

2010-05-12T14:27:00.002-07:00

School has finally ended, its summer time for me, so here is some stuff I have been doing.

A storyboard for my story boarding class. First time doing a storyboard like this.
It was a lot of work especially since I was stupid and did the whole thing in one day.

I had to do a project for my asian art history class and so I choose to do a drawing and an essay on a few yokai which are apart of Japanese folklore. This drawing is about a creature called a Kami-kiri which is a creature that eats/chops of peoples hair while they are not paying attention/sleeping. The idea was too freaky not to draw. Had some trouble with this one but its ok.

This is a birthday card I made for my friend Rob Laro of his character Aethena

Finally here is my last 3D project for my 3d modeling class, a book.

I hope to start on a project very soon so maybe I can post more about it if it goes anywhere. until then.. I'm OUT!

Bad at blogging

2010-04-17T09:26:00.001-07:00

here is some of my latest expeditions into the world of 3d modeling.

digital figure draws

2010-02-18T23:38:00.000-08:00

More 3d hammer

2010-02-07T22:54:00.001-08:00

new gorillaz album coming out. I am excited

Big Posemaniac page

2010-01-30T23:45:00.000-08:00

I really love the big sketch pages that some artists have been putting out recently, so I figured I should try one too. I have really been trying to get better with my gestures, be more efficient with my linework etc. so I spent yesterday night and today, doing a big page of mostly 1 min gestures, although there are a few 30 sec gestures in there as well, this is the first time I did them all digitally with my tablet, and they are all pretty awful, but I am going to keep trying.

on a side note, 3 posts in one day! that's a new record for me I think.

3D MODELAN

2010-01-30T19:17:00.000-08:00

here is the sledgehammer i posted earlier, now with a quick texture. so far i am pretty satisfied with the results.

Old stuff

2010-01-30T16:51:00.001-08:00

As promised, here is some photos of work i did last semester, for my figure drawing/painting/portrait class
all of them are done from life while in class.

the same old crap... NOW IN 3D!!!!

2010-01-27T20:20:00.000-08:00

I am taking a 3d modeling class this semester, and here is the first thing I have made. its a sledgehammer!

yep.

sorry

2010-01-22T01:41:00.000-08:00

sorry for the lack of updates recently, i have kinda been holding out on some photos of my work from my teachers last semester, but i have yet to receive them, i should probably just take the pictures myself so i can get them up on here. school is starting back up too so maybe that will generate some content for this blog. i also have been working on a little project as of late, so maybe i will allow myself to post some stuff from that. MAYBE. so ya, no pictures this time. IM SORRY!

today i am 20 years old.

2010-01-10T01:39:00.000-08:00

uggh. hope everyone is enjoying the new year. we're in the future!

Altered beast assignment

2009-12-05T13:24:00.000-08:00

Here is another project i have been working on for school. a similar assignment to the Masque of the Red Death one, only this time I am reinventing the old arcade game "altered beast" I am not totally happy with what i have but i dont really hate it ether, I just gotta finish it.

brief synopsis. its a side scroller beatemup and the basic gameplay elements are the hero transforms into a different animal every level of the game. you fight a boss at the end of each level who transforms into something crazy. so my take on it is the game is taken out of ancient Greece and brought to modern times where an old wizard is brought back to life and some punk dude is out to stop him. thrilling story, i know.

updated Masque of the Red Death Designs

2009-12-02T19:09:00.000-08:00

just some shots of what i have done so far. still a ways to go.

happy thanksgiving

2009-11-26T02:14:00.001-08:00

I think this picture is actually a chicken, but who cares they are both delicious!

another master copy

2009-11-22T00:04:00.001-08:00

also done by JSS
first is the original second is my copy
not perfect, some proportional issues, but good practice. i might go in and fix some of that stuff later but for now i am going to leave it.

Gesture workshop

2009-11-20T23:36:00.000-08:00

went to a gesture drawing workshop today, wow i am terrible at it. definitely going to work on that more.

also, i read this little list of things to think about when you are drawing done by prom, so its worth a read for just that alone!

http://androidarts.com/thoughts.htm

that is all for now.

2 heads

2009-11-19T10:48:00.000-08:00

Masque of the Red Death designs

2009-11-15T22:46:00.000-08:00

I have a project for school where we have to do designs for a story, and I chose Edgar Allen Poe's Masque of the Red Death. its still pretty early in the project, and what i have so far is still pretty rough.

medieval flying clothing

2009-11-02T01:18:00.000-08:00

the assignment i was given was i had to do a concept based on a randomly generated word. the word i got was medieval flying clothing. i like this guy a lot and i would like to spend more time developing this but again, i dont really have the time to do so at the moment. so here it is.

2 characters

2009-10-31T02:28:00.000-07:00

two characters i made for my character design class
i am fairly happy with them, but i wish i had more time to really make them super awesome. happy Halloween!

edit: ak wow the contrast is kinda crazy. ill have to keep that in mind next time i work on the laptop.

2 poops

2009-09-28T01:54:00.000-07:00

two homework assignments i did.

one was to design some farm animals that would live on another planet
the other was to create some simple form out of the silhouettes i created earlier.

wasnt sure if I was going to post these or not, but what the heck, why not. better then nothing I suppose.

Warhead Mockup

2009-08-20T02:47:00.001-07:00

i struggled with this a bit, mostly because I did most of the figuring out as I made it. I think I will be doing a few more of these as I continue to refine this idea, but maybe not right away, I don't want to burn out and hate myself.

i am so hungry right now.

Just got back from seeing it, and it was SO GOOD! best scifi film i have seen in a long time. i cant wait to see more movies from Mr. Blomkamp.

Warheads concept heads

2009-08-11T02:46:00.000-07:00

just some concepts for possible powerups/different weapons

Warheads

2009-08-10T03:25:00.001-07:00

this started out as a little doodle and it kinda grew beyond that, but I didnt want it to be a totally refined piece or anything. This was based off a sketch i found in an old sketchbook for a fake video game idea i had, called warheads where you play a guy with a gun for a head and it would be a side scroller shootemup type game, where you can get different heads that do different things.

Why the hell arn't you reading RADICAL BOY??

http://preachertom.livejournal.com/354336.html

I just came across this webcomic the other day, and i think it is hilarious! you should read it too! its a comic about a hipster guy who is in a video game, and it parodies a lot of video game conventions and hipster douches. He pretty much acts the way people play games in real life. The picture above is one of the pages i find particularly funny.

you can read the whole thing on one page HERE
