I've been experimenting with art styles for a new personal project with a programmer friend of mine. The game is being developed for the Samsung Gear VR, and that's all I will say ;)
Creatures!
I'm working on a personal project with a couple friends, and am designing some Tamagotchi creatures. I'm trying to work in a a more rendered style than recent projects.
Making the Art of Thrive 'n' Shine
It's finally finished! This is a game that I had the privilege of being the art director for. It took two and a half years to make, and the art team and I worked our butts off to get the game shipped. Check out this behind-the-scenes look at making art for video games in an indie games studio!
Baby Mario!
I decided to try out a little bit different style and subject matter than I have been painting recently. Some techniques went really well, and some I could improve on, but I really like the bright watercolor-like aesthetic...may have to experiment with this style more.
Also! I have updated the Sci-Fi and Fantasy Portrait gallery and added a new gallery called Painting Drama. Check it out by clicking on Work in the navigation :)
Holiday-Themed Sketch
A portrait of a coworker inspired by old school illustration like Normal Rockwell. Hope everyone had a great holiday break!
Composition Studies
Here's a study I did for a composition class. I was experimenting with different brushes and using photos for textures in these.
Ink Sketches
Here are some composition sketches made with Micron pen, Sakura brush pen, and a gray Copic marker. Really loving ink for sketching!
Frank Frazetta Figure Studies
These are a couple figures studies out of a bunch I did for an illustration I'm working on. They are based on figures in illustrations by Frank Frazetta. They were done in Micron pen and vine charcoal.
Mmmmm....Cheeseburgers
Here is a Cheeseburger demo painting that I did last weekend. The video breaking down the PSD organization and painting process will be posted on my demo section the the site soon.
Underdrawing in mechanical pencil, and digital painting done in Photoshop CS6.
The site is up and running!
Hello world!
