Fail.

This was supposed to be for a kid's book, but the client didn't like it. Now I get to do it again. Yay!

Back Again

Yeah yeah, I know, it's been over a year since I last posted anything. I don't know much about online etiquette, but I'm pretty sure that's a no-no.

I know I've said this before, but this time I really mean it: I'm gonna start posting more regularly from now on. You'll see.

Anyway, the sketch up there was going to be for Illustration Friday last week, but I didn't have time to finish it. The topic was "immovable".

More to come, if anybody still cares.

Landscapes

Did a couple of landscape paintings. I've never really been very good at them. I have a hard time creating the illusion of depth that's so essential to a successful landscape. I guess that means I need to keep painting them until I can figure it out.

...Ugh

Uh... yeah. Didn't like the way the rest came out. Didn't really like this one, either, but it was the best of the bad I guess.

WIP

Here's a crappy photo of a painting I'm working on and a quick Photoshop sketch I did the other day. I need to work on the lighting in the painting, and the hands are kind of iffy, too. But it's a start, I guess. Still haven't done the character renders, but since I'm working on them now, I'll post them for sure next week.

Sketches

So it's been awhile, but here I am again. And this time, I'm gonna make it stick (maybe). Anyway, here are a few character sketches, and I'll try to post some full renderings sometime next week. Hope you like.

Sand Surfing...

Ok, I know surfing on sand probably woudn't work too well. Even if you attached a wind sail. I mean, you might make it down a single sand dune, but there's no way you're getting up the other side. Then there's the added pleasure of grinding your face in the sand when you wipe out. I'm sure someone's tried it, though. Maybe there's video on youtube...
