Sunset Silhouette

Super-fast speed paint inspired by my drive home this evening.

Just some simple silhouettes against the darkening sky.

Witch Tower + Figure Drawing

New concept for the Witch's tower for my film! :D

Also, my figure drawing midterm portfolio:

Painting

Painted a thing. Just a rough idea. Still figuring out how to paint mist/fog.

Sketch-Up Stadium

I downloaded Sketch-Up today, and started working on a stadium for a board. I've had the idea for a while, but finally decided to actually get started on it! Sketch-Up was surprisingly easy and fun to use.

Here's what I've got so far:

I'm still messing with it a bit, and there's still the obstacle course-thing to work out. Should be fun! If anyone's got any advice for working with Sketch-Up, I'd love to hear it!

Daily Drawing

I didn't know what to draw today. I started drawing some random lines and shapes, and BAM this happened. It's actually only the top half of the composition. The rest should be up on Monday.

Daily Drawing

Just continuing on the painting!

Also, I updated the Storyboard and portfolio pages a few weeks ago, but never mentioned it in a blog post.

Daily Drawing

My next painting project! The re-imagination of the Witch's castle. Just a quick sketch with some tones thrown on. Refinement and further work tomorrow.

Daily Drawing

While I suppose I could leave it here, I'm still not quite finished with it. I don't know if I'll get back to it on Monday, since there's another scene I have in mind for next week, but we'll see.

If anyone's got some feedback on this, I'd love to hear it!

Daily Drawing

Wooo color dump!

Just working on getting the values/hues around where I want. Still pretty rough, but getting there!

Finished painting tomorrow~!

Daily Drawing

Now for something different!

This is the rough line work for a painting I've started. Instead of a daily drawing done in a single day, this one will be completed by this weekend instead. It's a nice break from finished colored character pieces.

Also, this will be used as a color/lighting/bg reference for the film! So there's that too.

Procrastination!

So it probably isn't the most accurate thing to say that I am procrastinating. I am merely taking a break between backgrounds so that I don't get annoyed with them. Yeah. That one.

I meant to post some backgrounds on Sunday, but then I think I blinked or something and the next thing I knew it was Tuesday. Time is an interesting thing when it's spent in two places: sitting behind a Cintiq coloring, or in bed sleeping. Anyway, enough of this writing, time for some pictures!










In case you're wondering, these are a few of the backgrounds for that project I mentioned in my previous entry. They have been re-sized to only a quarter of their actual resolution, but I don't think HD-sized images at 400dpi would fit very well on a website. Presuming that they would upload at all. Sooo... yes. Back to work then! After all, I have about another... oh... 65 backgrounds to do?

'Til next time!
