I vowed to update my blog before the new year. So here i am at 6:00 on December 31 updating my blog.

I finally had some colorful things to post. the blog was looking a little depressing with all the sketchy gray stuff.

I started painting this several months ago and then stopped for some reason. But here's (what i think) is the finished version

Here's the movie poster for Daniel Brown.

These are a few sketches i made downtown. I found it slightly awkward drawing random people. Especially when they saw me sitting under a tree sketching them. But it was worthwhile. There's definitely an artform to sketching someone as they move by so quickly.

So this and the following several images are from my sketchbook. Don't ask me what they are cause i don't know.

These are just some thumbnails from my sketchbook.

It's not that i love baseball that much; but i think as an animator i'm drawn to the "kineticness" of a baseball player's movement.

I haven't had much training in graphic arts. but this is a job i'm trying to do for a friend. My big concern now is trying to print the thing out. It's a 17 x 20 inch image and one estimate i got for a print was 90 bucks!

I haven't done much in the way of painting in photoshop. so this was just a little experiment. But after doing it i decided to purchase a wacom tablet. Painting with a mouse is horribly unnatural.

The Twins

This is a work in progress.

It's my attempt at caricaturing my friend recording himself singing.

Daniel Brown

Some more Daniel Brown

Once again, this isn't my initial design. But he's a fun character to play around with.

I meant to give him more of a flat graphic look. But he turned out to be a hybrid of graphic and three dimensional design. It almost makes it a little creepier.

It's surprising how a suddle difference in proportion can impact a drawing so much. When i compared these drawings I prefered the character on the right.

His head is slightly bigger and his legs a bit fatter and shorter. It's suddle, but I think it makes a difference.

This guy always looks best when he's mad for some reason.

i'm really having fun with his face though. I like the idea of stretching and pulling his entire head. And showing as much of his inner mouth as i can possibly show.

This is my first time writing a blog ever. I wasn't sure what to write or show or anything really. So I just put together a mess of stuff I've been doing lately (which I'm sure is terribly interesting).

these are some character concepts. I didn't come up with this guy's design, but i've just been playing with his shapes and poses. I've been looking
at a lot of Lane Smith's work for inspiration.

just some more concept sketches.

SHADRACH, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO

I was just trying to have fun with basic shapes, composition and color.

This stuff isn't recent, but I thought I'd put some color in this blog.
