Strange has gone mad

A quick one... more Jonathan Strange fan art.

Spider-Man Stuffs

There is a very short preview of the Spider-Man show I am working on in Disney XD's 2012 line-up teaser. 21 second mark:



Can't wait to see how the season turns out. A lot of talented people's hard work went into it.

Who wears short shorts?

POSE!

Lunchtime Boxing

Some gestures from lunchtime today.

Costumed Life Drawing

I was able to jump into the last 25 minutes of life drawing at lunch. I haven't been to a life drawing session with costumes before. Pretty fun stuff, and there are so many talented artists surrounding you. Here are a few of my measly contributions.

Done with charcoal pencil. I love the line quality it can give.

Wedding

I play tetris on the internet before bed sometimes, and if I can't go to sleep, I stare at the ceiling and see the pieces stacking themselves. I guess that means I have an addiction.

So this is a story about tetris. And the jerk that it makes you for playing it.

Babies!

Many of our friends are having babies these days. They are small. They are cute. And they are the reason I have a lot of these pictures  to complete in the next few months...

This one is for the Campos's. Congrats guys!

Portfolio Site Up

I have a portfolio site up and running now with some boards and other work on it. If you are interested, the link can be found to the right, or you can click on the image below to get there.

A little exercise.

working out

It's tough to find time to work out in the day. There is so much work to be done and a whole lot of Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus to rent and subsequently sit down and watch.

Hands

These are some quick sketches to figure out hand positions for a captive in a set of pirate storyboards.

Some more old...

Working on storyboards pretty feverishly lately, so here is some more art from an old game that I worked on for iWin.

This first set of images are thumbnails from a montage concept that the player would see at different intervals throughout the game. Depending on the mode of travel the player had access to (steamboat, airship, etc.) and the area of land they were located in, a different montage cutscene would pop up. This is about as far as we were able to get before the project was scrapped, but it was fun to think about all of the different possibilities.

This is the interior of a hotel in a San Francisco-type western city. Pretty unhappy with how it turned out, but it's a process.

Brush up

My friend Nelson gave me some new brushes today. I don't know how to use them. I made this drawing with them.

2 Months pt. 2

Here are some sketches of the male lead.

2 Months

I got permission to show some of the work that I did back in October/November for a game that is (sadly) not being made anymore.

This is probably my favorite sketch that came out of the first brainstorm for the female lead.



These next two were the first that I did.








I will have some more up tomorrow.

Old Pirate Characters

Here is an old sketch from my tablet. I cleaned up the pirate girl and that version is in one of the posts below.

A Little Late for Halloween

These are some quick character sketches I did for a storyboarding project last month. The story centers around the little witch with the frog. Couldn't figure out what age to pin her at. I think keeping her younger worked better for the story in the end.

Speed paint of Robyn while watching the extras of Children of Men. Brilliant film.

Those are my blanketed knees in the foreground.

Coconut Queen

A game I worked on for iWin came out in August. It is called Coconut Queen and you can and should check it out here. Here are some development screens for the cutscenes.
