TYE

I've been having a lot of fun with this project! Here are a couple details of the progress so far.

Espresso Chimp

Another Commission

Style Samples for Sand Castle to the Moon

Here are some tests I'm doing for the style of a new childrens book I'm working on for a client here in the Bay Area. Though the watercolor look was nice, I believe it is too distracting. Though there is a lot more testing to be done, the first design exhibits where I plan to go with this project.

The "Above and Beyond" Winners!

A Tribute to Maurice Sendak

These are color tests for a piece meant to commemorate the amazing work of Maurice Sendak on the story Where the Wild Things Are. To those of you that do not know, he just celebrated his 81st Birthday!

Final Version Coming late August. For now, here is the sketch and a color test:

Graveyard Layout

Going back to the voodoo idea, here is a very rough layout what we are calling the "Voodoo Graveyard" shot.

Some Sketches

I had a lot of fun sketching concepts for an old voodoo lady. After running along witches and old hags, I landed on a evil gypsy that I'm rather fond of.

The Hunt: Update

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd toss you a peek into the progress of a project I began a while ago and have since drug out of the closet and back onto the drawing board.

Sneak Peak

Here is a quick look at the progression of a character I'm developing for a Childrens Book.

Inspired

Last night I was sick as a dog, yet after watching a good movie I pulled together the motivation to brake out the paints for the first time in too long.

The Undermonkey

Torn

This was one of many designs. We went another direction, so this was never finished. The final version would of had a large sword, viking armor, and tattoos among other things.

We're Close Now

Another jungle scene I'm working on

A Tiger Color Test

This is a texture test for a crayon look I wanted to use on my next childrens book

The Many Faces of Seth

Here are a few pieces I forgot to post a while ago. Using only me, myself, and a mirror, I attempted some of the most difficult facial expressions I could come up with. The fourth one in particular, required that I close one eye at a time in order to achieve realism. These were done in a single sitting with the intention of becoming faster. Times range from four hours to 45 minutes. I drew until I could draw no more!

Sad Coffee

A quick bit of color practice
