New film idea

Hey guys I'm developing some stuff for a new short film.  I'm not sure if you guys have seen the game Journey, but I am looking for it to look sort of like that.  Anyway here are some things that I've been drawing for it. Most of them are concepts of the main character and the his home in the sky.

                      

 

I'm working on modeling the his sky house, I'm thinking of making the round one with the fans on the top.

Was just playing around the other night.

couple new things

Proof that im still working! :P

Here are a couple things that i've squeezed out during the last month, between frantically trying to run faster on life's little money treadmill, and tying to keep a social life so I dont go crazy! 

I guess both of these guys were style exercises, one dark, and one more animated and light. I have recently been enamored with the awesome work of Corey Loftis, so if you've never seen his work you should check it out....

Its making me fall back in love with that very graphic animated style, that you dont really see in video game stuff anymore. He is responsible for the look and feel of the upcoming wildstar game, which looks super refreshing and fun to boot....so yeah. 

Anybody else been lusting after a specific artist/style lately?

It's been a while, so I'll stick this up.  About 30 min or so tonight during RA rounds.

I might go more into it...

a new thing or two

So I know I'm always harping on how great the 1950's are as visual inspiration, but now I'm going to to attempt to prove it and dole out some concept art. So I'm playing with mech designs right now/trying to learn how to paint metallic surfaces. 

Major revelation: They are impossible to paint in the absence of an environment because as long as something is reflective, it's reflecting its environment. I think it's super beneficial to lay out a really simplistic idea of what the color in your environment is so you can temper the local color of the reflective object (be it steel gray or turquoise) with those other colors in mind, making them warmer or cooler as appropriate.

It seems like something I should already know by now but I consistently try to paint reflective surfaces without establishing in my mind what's around it.

Small submission

I needed something to shake me out of my painting complacency. I haven't done a whole lot lately because of the 3D stuff that I have to do for work. Which of course, I can't show yet. 

Anyways, I wanted to ask, who'd be up for a skype desktop sharing paintjam? I don't know what everyone else's schedule is like in the summer time, but having an online paintjam would be a good way to keep up accountability to paint in our free time, and we could have a theme if we want.

New and sorta new work.

Some more work gearing up for the spectrum show. Tried to update the shaman piece to fit the new portfolio. This is the first time I have ever gone back to an old piece. Not sure how successful I was but I was a lot of fun painting that warthog. 

aliens!

- So I know that this is the same old crap that im usually up to, but they are done, (ish), and im trying to keep a semi regular posting schedule, plus, I fucking love drawing aliens. When I feel in a rut, and cant get myself invested in a piece, aliens are my good ol standby:)
