Previous painting I did for my painting class this past fall,
Basically its about how certain songs may influences the generations
and in this piece its not in a good way.

Surfs Up

Slowly but Surely

Testing highlights here and there but I'm nearing the end of this digital illustration. Have been working on and off jumping between other projects but I'm going to bring this piece to a close soon.

Values

Still a work in progress. Value study for illustration, trying to get the lighting right. Im going to post up the color study later.

"Just Right"

Final Image for 1st issue of Just Write magazine

Added pupils to the character to humanize him more, felt too evil or mutant, I guess... 1st of 12 issues to come. I want to really challenge myself with these pieces and plan to work to the bone on my winter vacation. Thats my way of the ninja!!

Magazine Final Draft

cover for writing magazine Just Write set to release Nov. 26. Kind of a writers forum allowing anyone itching to tell a story, poem, etc. to submit there work to be published find out more information at the website www.uandijustwrite.com

Worked on creating focal point and eye movement with this piece by pushing parts of the drawing back with cool colors and pulling colors foward with warm.

Magazine Cover Pencils:Thumbs to Final Draft

24 Hour Art Challenge

During the 24 hour Art Challenge at SCAD My initial goal was a set of 6-12 characters, but I woke up later than I wanted too so, I did 4 characters all together and one illustration piece. I worked on achieving a character each hour to push myself conceptually and just keep drawing. The Illustration took the longest because I was getting feedback from my peers and adjusting the foreshortened proportions. Overall I am happy with the result because I was able to do the characters with out reference and pull from my head. One thing I learned is that I need to go darker with my pencils ( as you can see)the line work is a little too light. The Illustration line work is complete but I still want to render the picture in Coral and PhotoShop!!

Logo Design

The final revision of the logo completed for the client I did a few to give a broader choice selection. I personally favor the versions with the stars instead of the square dots.

Revised Character Design

I decided to revise the previous character design because I was not satisfied I like this one alot better than my older version. This Friday there is a 24 hour art challenge at SCAD and I'm planing on creating a whole world for this character and an additional 6-12 characters to live and surf. The concept on my mind is post apocalyptic world which gives me alot to play with so, this will be my assignment.

The Golden Compass

Interesting survey to see what type of "Daemon"( persona in the form of a animal) personality a person has, I took the survey twice and wasn't too surprised by the results, but maybe you will, so try it out. Based off the movie coming out on December 7th The Golden Compass the trailer left a sweet honey flavored residue in my mouth anticipating the release. As I grow more aware and interested of the concept art present in movies I inspired by the Golden Compass's concept artists imaginative solution to creating the world the characters reside.

Logo Design

Sketch for a logo I'm currently working on for a mortgage company.

Poster ad

Some more work 'm doing for Mr. Headley, author of "A Stolen Life". He needed some posters to place in a bookstore( what bookstore you ask, well I'm not sure) to advertise his masterpiece.(www.astolenlife.com)On Thursday night He sent me some pictures I could possibly use I was under some serious time constraints and needed to get them done for this past Friday. I came up with several simple ideas and gave him the last above the text ,but which is better I don't know?

Figures

Character Design

Some character studies for the thumbnails below
I'm still trying to figure out a concept I want to convey with
Obviously, its gonna have something to do with surfing but I'm still
playing with the idea.
