Pop Stars



Been doing a lot of other side projects, but here are some lady pop star art. The 1st is Kimbra based off of a photoshoot she had done earlier this year. The 2nd is Rihanna based off of her outfit here. I don't really listen to her music, but her attitude was just too cool not to draw.

Short Gifs

A while ago did a 48 hour animation jam with Eddie Peters using the theme "growth." One day it'll be finished. One day.

Lil Jeffrey's Return

I had started this a little bit ago following some linework of a friend. Found it again and added a few new photoshop stuffs.

OH! And CTN is here. I’m shy, but if you’re there say hi?

Dog Eat Dog

So, what started into one tileable picture of a redditor’s dogs turned into making one for my own dog. More are sure to come sometime.

GeoGuessr studies

Some quick studies using the ever popular GeoGuessr . Each about 30 minutes to 2 Parks and Rec episodes. Next step: more simplifying and stylizing.

It's Fall!

Another update within 60 days? Am I officially more efficient than the US government? A self portrait with a duck and some more redditors.

RedditGetsDrawn

Sometimes when I get a little bored or just need to mess around I like drawing/painting redditors/ taking creative liberties with their photos that they want drawn.

Super Secret Finale

Silly me, keep forgetting to pimp this video out. This is the senior project I worked on a team with.

PS. This is on my friend's, Nnenna's vimeo. You should check more of her stuff out too.

Shameless Fanart


Two of my favorite shorts from this last year. (c-c-c-c-c-crossover) If you haven't seen them yet, it's well worth the 5 minutes (each) of your day.
Started this a week or so ago... took being sick for me to want to finish it up.

Sketch Dump + Tumblr!

Here's a dump of sketches from the past month or so. One of the pages is from when I went to the Fun. concert in Seattle (please, no more puns about how... "exciting" seeing that band live is) and drew the band members as they tore up the stage.  The rest are from people in the airport and the Grove in LA.

ALSO

I have started a TUMBLR ACCOUNT to also post things on. I'm going to be updating both of these blogs, simultaneously when I can. So there's not much to be missing out. A majority of friends have both Tumblr -or- blogspot accounts and I want to get both sides.

Red Herring Productions

Phew, so incoming flood kind of. These are some of the visual development pieces along with a texturing test (we now have a really nice shader for things too!). It's a senior project that I'm working on with five other students starting around June.

It first started with the concept of two superheroes on a blind date, but changed to a father-daughter story about acceptance. The blind date one had a lot of cool ideas however there were a lot of story issues to fit into a 2 minute short without any dialogue. Our new plot has gone through a ton of iterations on story as well, however our team has some story telling masterminds in there. There's still even more work to show, so expect to see those soon.





Oh, the high concept is a super villain father expects to inaugurate his daughter into villainary on her 13th birthday. However, things don't go as planned as the daughter is already an aspiring super hero.

Tearaway

So I needed a tearaway/take away illustration for a class and did this in about an hour. It's fun to just do quick stuff like that, but I need to hunker down on polishing more things too.

People Places ... Pygmy Pie

An assignment for an illustration concept art class. First you go to a location (or several) do some good ole drawings and then you throw in a mythological character and then tie in a news event of some kind. So if this were a game of Clue the description would be something like this: Baba Yaga in the garage with a gas hose.


New Perspective Stuff

Another semester, more stuff for the game team.
We started going into a different direction with some of level layouts, including making a sort of hub world as an arcade.
Which means making stuff for an arcade and research!
The posters are designed after the names for the levels and since we needed something graphic quickly, they're made in the style of Tom Whalen's work. Check his stuff out if you haven't, it's fantastic!



Oh, hold on... I need one more chance to stuff the word stuff into this post.
Stuff.

Billy The Boy--More Pieces


Here is some of the title cards for the summer project. Either straight up photoshop or painting over renders.



The "Beauty Shot"


And Color Keys




Some Paintings




Painting flood of some stuff from spring semester. Playing a little bit of catch-up here! There will probably be another spam thread later.
All oil on board..I think 16" x 18" or so.
