Glen Sequence

This is my just-finished character design assignment. I had so much fun doing it because it really allowed me to explore more story into posing. Story creates so much more juicy work when you add it to a character design. Enjoy!

Life Deezees

Not much to say about these - Some 30 seconds, 3 mins, and 1 minute drawings... Comments?

Glen Poses

Here are some poses for Glen. Well not really "poses", but just some rough preliminary drawings. Design still needs tightening... Any suggestions on design? Or nice comments if you wish =)

Glen and Rusty

Here are some new characters I am working on. They are part of a story I am putting together. Glen is a disgruntled black sheep that feels sort of "hard done too", and is an intellect of sorts. He has a best friend named Rusty. Rusty is a happy go lucky Llama that dreams of becoming a movie star. I will be solidifying the designs for them soon, but the basic idea is that the two characters balance each other out, sort of like a yin and yang thing.

Nearly Finished Isle of Skye Painting

So here we are, now two weeks later on this painting I was tell you about. It's almost finished and I'm really happy with it. As you will notice, I decided that it needed a stronger foreground element so I drew in another ground plane and added a figure. I think having the figure in the composition creates a better story visually. There's not too much left to do except strengthen the mountains on the left and solidify the bottom half of the figure. I will post the final when its done. Until then, here's what I've got. Enjoy!

Star Wars Animatic Pannels

So here was a great digital painting excersise. These are shots from The Empire Strikes Back which I painted frame for frame to create an animatic for my digital tools class. It neat to see the effect of painting a pannel out from a still screen shot. They kind of look like concept art.

The Isle of Skye

Alright, so this is a new one I have been working on for a new book I am writing. I'm naming it "The Isle of Skye", after a place in scotland. It's completely digital, and it's the first time I have tried this way of painting (without real paints). It sould be interesting to see how it turns out. I'm excited about it, and I'll be posting some new digital paintings soon along with this one in its final form.
