Some painting practice...

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

First Draft of "The Hunt"

An early look at a rough of one of my current projects called "The Hunt"

Thangtime

Some Illustrator Practice:

Mouse Pages

These are a few sample pages from the childrens book I finished recently

Santa Sketches

These are some sketches from a recent project

I have not updated for a while so I thought I would take you along one of my current projects. This is a character for a popular blog site.

1. First the client provided me with a reference photo. He asked that I use the image only as a starting point. In the end he wanted the sites character completely unique and exaggerated. So thats what i did. I began with some drawings similar to the photo, then abstracted from there.

2. Once I showed the client the rough sketches, he decided on one and I proceeded to color with a raw painted look. The client was inspired by the abstract rough and decided to work the site around it

3. After roughing the first design, I was shown a mock up of the blog site the character was to be used for. I then decided to provide an additional option that I thought may work better for his site. The client agreed and I am now detailing the third image.
