Shrimpy Dragon

I watched How to Train Your Dragon again yesterday and felt it was time to draw another dragon.

MERRY XMAS!

Seasons Greetings!
Here's my Christmas card for this year. If anyone wants some physical prints let me know and we'll work something out. Hope everyone is having a harmonious holiday.

TOMBO Brush Pens

Di gave me a TOMBO brush pen to play with yesterday and I think I'm in love with it. I feel kinda stupid that I never used them before. These things are an illustrator's best friend. They can fill page area quickly and can provide both accurate and robust lines with minimal effort. The line quality is far better and faster than anything that a Photoshop brush can do. Here are some doodles that I did with it:

Ninja!

What started as a warm up sketch turned into a day long project. This one's definitely more in the vein of video game concept art and I worked in a lot more detail and shading. I realize there isn't much of a background . Maybe I'll redo it later.

Hazy Afternoon Rabbits

I thought I'd try a new painting style.

Christmas in November

Here's some work that I did for the lovely Brittany Biggs. She hired me to paint props and backgrounds for an animated music video that she's directing. It's a Christmas themed song and should be complete later this month.

Designing from Life

Some life drawing homework for my character design class:

Girl in Florals and Paisely

I'm having a dragon for tea time

A character study that I made a quick and dirty color test for:



He's a little prissy, and a little over weight, but he makes good company and enjoys a nice cup of tea.

Sheep Dog

Graffiti Girl

Fox Friday

An old sketch that I finally decided to paint.

Must Draw All These Strange Womens

It's been decided that I don't know how to draw women well so I've committed myself to learning how to do it better. Here's a sketch to start it off:

"Pew Pew Tower" concept sketches

These are some character and concept designs for a game project I'm working on.

Here is the playable character, our plucky spaceman:




My team liked the white one the best; finished, vectored design:


A preliminary weapon design:


The enemies in the game, cute little space mice that have a nasty bite:

Character Design HW

I recently took a character design class at the Animation Academy. Here's some samples of some of my homework:





Really fun class, and I got some nice drawings out of it! I'll post more images later.
