And now its done.
Alex Mercer is from Prototype:

Also, a random drawing for the heck of it:

His shoulder probably looks nothing like that but in my defense he's a shapeshifter soooo....

Yellow

There's a lot of unfinished work I need to get to, it all just seems to pile up when I'm not looking. While chatting with a friend I also realised that my sketchbook is now more text heavy than drawing. One day maybe it'll evolve into something a bit more interesting than rushed notes with rough sketches in the margins. For now you can have this, something I worked on for about ten mins at a time between everything else during my days off:

Its a radish.

Quick Update

Power Out

2009-12-18T21:59:00.000-08:00

I tried to update twice today and both times the building lost power. Fun =P

Morning Chill

Hush

So I've got two new pieces uploaded to my galleries. They look different from past works, kind of got obsessive on some of the detailing too (Morning Chill in particular seems to lack a true focal point), but I feel good about them. What are they about? Their neglected characters of mine. I never post anything of them since they exist mostly as doodles and words. It's about time I started paying some real attention to them I suppose.

Layout Update!

2009-12-08T10:43:00.000-08:00

It took a while but I finally got it up. Kept the design simple this time around, I'm happy with it. I'll edit the blog to match soon too, just to keep things flowing. I've also put up one new piece, its a little different from my usual stuff but....

Updates

2009-11-26T08:29:00.000-08:00

Things have been kind of quiet around here so I thought I'd at least post whats happening. I'm in the process of rebuilding my website. I have a few new pieces finished but figure I'll wait until the website is completed before posting them up.

I'll be back when its all done =P

hm..

Creative Quarterly

2009-09-08T17:54:00.000-07:00

Creative Quarterly 16 is out, or will be later this month since I got my copy in the mail. I'd post photo's of it, but I seem to have lost my camera usb. Great timing, eh? Anyways the point of mentioning it is to bug you all into checking it out, I'm in it!

Sandman

2009-09-07T18:56:00.000-07:00

Somehow he managed to come out in my latest paint, so I went with it. Its still really rough, but I kinda like where it's going and it may take me some time to complete.

Green

2009-09-04T19:33:00.000-07:00

You know, green can be a very unflattering color.

It WAS a speed paint....

2009-09-04T11:42:00.001-07:00

...Not so sure now, aha. I kinda wanna work on it more. I think I might adjust my layout too sometime soon, just mentioning. The banner is starting to bug me =P

Mimic

2009-09-01T18:05:00.000-07:00

A couple hours in ps.

Dramatic Wind? I think so.

2009-08-15T11:05:00.000-07:00

Quick sketch update. Computer is still dead =(

BSOD

2009-08-13T10:16:00.000-07:00

So it seems my computer is stuck in a loop, it can't load windows. Since it can't load, it flips to the blue screen then restarts before I can finish reading whatever the error might be.

My files are safe thankfully, I have backups of all artworks and the original files can still be pulled off the drive too if need be. I'll just have to work with my laptop until I can figure things out.

Rain

Portions of this are still 'incomplete' but I'm kinda burnt out at the moment. Don't know if I'll bother revisiting it anytime soon.Its named after this stupid weather we're having.

I think I'm going to update my gallery with a sketchbook section for these types of things. I'll do two or three more before I update it though.

...Its a tree =P

Sketches

2009-05-26T19:02:00.000-07:00

So from emails I've been getting I realised that some people assumed I worked completely in photoshop for most of my stuff ( O_o ). This is a good example of the quality of pencil work I finish before moving into ps. The detail and shading is kinda unnessasary but... its fun.

Before anyone asks, aside from the wasp I wasn't trying to mimic any specific insects. I'm not even sure I got the wasp completely right since I didn't think to use any reference till I'd finished most of it.

Fwoooom

2009-05-12T11:36:00.000-07:00

Found this on a usb I was trying to fix. The thing glitches horribly and refuses to work on mac's. Thanks alot HP... The computer company, not books ;}

This little turtle (he, uh... took his shell off, its under his head) was part of a wordless comic I did a year or two ago for my Sequential Narrative class. It took place in a silly little world, I'd used the assignment as a test for a bigger story I had planned though I've long since moved away from this line of thought.

Practise

2009-05-09T08:55:00.000-07:00

Hello, thought you guys might be interested in seeing what I'm working on right now.
During my last crit for thesis it was brought up how my people don't fit in with the rest of my work. My ability to draw human beings out side of my life drawing classes has always been a little lacking... So I flipped through some old sketchbooks, picked out a character I haven't drawn forever now and practiced with him.

Trying to give my characters distinctive features and structures, make them look like their own people... I think his head might be to big aha.
I'll upload a few grad show photo's later on too.

CMYK Magazine!

2009-04-17T09:18:00.000-07:00

Dive has been chosen to appear in Issue 44 of CMYK Magazine! It is the first contest I've ever entered so it was a big shock when I found out...

I'm soooooo happy!

Class Work - 'Bargain Bites'

2008-12-09T18:48:00.000-08:00

The last project we had to do for Pictorial Design was a cover for the San Francisco Chronicle's Bargain Bites magazine.

Thesis - Werewolf wip

2008-12-07T20:36:00.000-08:00

Yay, I posted something.
Progress is slow, as usual I'm starting to hate it as I work on it more and more. This along with two other illustrations are due this week.
