Sick Post Bro .....No seriously....im sick

yeah feeling pretty terrible today as food poisoning from the other day left the immune system ripe for a cold to take root :( wah wah enough self pity more art decided to treat myself to some sci fi personal time and made a list still trying out new techniques. triangular brush. 100% opacity with no transfer effects, just some size and roundness with pen pressure. its always fun to make yourself think in basic shape and value. ill post wips soon but im too tired and sick for it now here is the list and what followed

SMG swords became this

He was at one point bright blue

poop

Streaming for fun and curses

i guess this is 3 hours from tonights live stream nothing polished but it was fun after an hour or so of really crappy noodling to figure out what i wanted to make. wow ...big surprise. a damn cyborg. i

think i sold jacob earl as my 1st "boss fight" tonight. ill explain laterzzz

personal work for the 1st time in a few weeks. maybe finish maybe wont

Sketching Gangnam Style

good fun streaming last night and continuing the gnomon workshops today

Good To Be STreaming Again!

trenchcoated cyber lady! wanted her to feel a bit older. Shes a badass who has seen a lot of action and its wearing on her mind. ill finish soon and start an image without the coat. unfortunately procaster crashed while saving so the second part of the stream tonight is gone baby gone. but hell i had fun!

Chadler Leslie Blastwell Esq.

Been a while! super busy with the new job so not much time for personal art (and i want to keep a few things to myself for the kinda secret project) here is a dude i painted tonight a character my friend's son and i came up with. thanks River for the fantastic name and brainstorming with me

HE IS RISEN!

final concept for the cgma 3d character modeling class! now for the ortho D:

Colorful Bastards

sketches half hour and an hour. no real intentions of going further due to my messed up schedule right now with the move, freelance and trying to sell a house but who knows. i would like to redo the tank punch and make it more coherent or a better action packed camera angle

Character Modeling Class: Concept Update!

the render is almost finished and i have aded a few color comps since the live stream my favorites hve the old timey pointer finger next step is a quick polish on whats left then clean up and tech decals :) i think at this point i should build some new tech decals and retire this set to the public domain haha

Pixel Pushersssssssss

Warm up fun from today. i have been replaying all of the castlevania games on the DS lately and it got me really inspired. this took too long. pixel art is tough man! i would love to do a sprite based side scroller but the amount of work to animate all of that? jeeeez

large Version here

Bastard Tiger

today's warm up went a little long :)

CGMW Master Classes.....

Part Deux we went with design one and i decided that he needed to be redrawn for posture and weight here is the process so far

aaaand i realized today as my daughter sat in my lap while working that i have never drawn her before! i must do at least one a year if not a book hahaha

CGMW Master Classes

so here is tonight's livestream! i am doing this job for CGMA's 3d character modeling class by Manny Fragelus (dreamworks) this will be a concept for the class to model its just a few roughs and a little head shot of a proud bearded man. he looks like he pinches women's booties when they arent lookin

Bastard Tiger

so i stopped streaming and kept painting tonight. i need to learn to walk away at bed time :(

i almost never do ID and this was fun. i have to try more and get away from all the organic stuff i do all the time. im using this for a personal project of mine and hopefully it will help inform other designs going forward

Secrets

me and Ryan workin' on secrets Heres his blog where he talks all self important-like http://ryanverniere.blogspot.com/ ryan is a fantastic writer with a ton of good ideas about game design as well as the verbal skills to articulate them in a manner beyond the cursing and juvenile baby spew that comes out of my mouth. ....and he has a bald spot but you didn't hear it from me.

Warm streamssssss

hour and a half warm up today on livestream

goodnight doooodles etc

goodnight doodle 20 minutes and another smudged up face

Its too damn late!!!

just a post work 45 minute pic. im going to work on her a bit more and then she goes into the montage

this montage is getting pretty long

Plugging away in my spare time. need to make faster progress than i did tonight. started noodling and lost all speed around midnight :/

MONTAAAAAAGE!

playing around, havin fun before bed

MAGIC!

just got some artist's proofs in the mail! i really just wanted to show this one off i finished it april of last year and felt it was (is) my only effective group scene i have ever done haha

Update with a quick color pass

most likely making this a group shot/ movie montage thing

winding down

wind down sketch from tonight

whaaaaa the huh

trying to do something different here for this weeks chow over at ConceptArt.org

Royal Robot!

it was awesome live streaming tonight! i did a bunch of weird sketches which i didnt save, and this guy. (and i worked for about 40 minutes after the stream) definitely nice to be able to get back into it. i sort of planned him as a cohort to the hunter a few posts earlier. perhaps an earlier prototype version of the cybernetics system

Half hour lunch sketch

while lamenting the availability of Tera on a mac (NERD!) i drew this over lunch :)

New Magic Card

This card was a ton of fun. I did this one start to finish in a hotel room in Shanghai while watching bad 80s movies and insane chinese cartoons

Hunter's Orange

Just added a ton of my friends to my blog roll you should check them out and make an evening of it :) hunter update and more doodling on the bang bang bang

I have defined the arm under the plastic environmental protective sleeve its supposed to be an organic synthetic material arm. it could be cool as hell to have it flip out and mutate doing a bunch of crazy shit. I like the elements of weird in sci fi but, had never really considered how it could fit into my own until now. sci fi should make sense but, hell, sometimes you just have to do things for the sake of cool.

and just fun in general here

BANG BANG BANG! speedie

about 30 mins super fun to do this loose stuff with a limited palette

The hunt is on! slowly

ju,ping from image to image a lot lately. i should just finish one! haha more materials and a possible camo textile on the hunter. probably going with the tone on the right did some serious arm stuff on her just to see if i could get it to read. you tell me if i pulled it off i figure once she is done revamping the pet's design should be a snap

STYLIZED!

having far too much fun. the stylization is something i am enjoying more than i thought. my over ambitious detailing may kill it but i want to try keeping the style while doing a crazy detailed render

Stylized?

inspired by my friend Adrian's recent posts, i wanted to try something a little stylized and fun

Lunch Sketches and Some Randoms
