New Demo Reel

just a new demo reel that is going to be sent out about... hopefully find a job.

Awe Inspiring

Friday afternoon, i went to check out what was new at ConceptArt.org and to my surprise, Andrew Jones was having a live stream lecture about Beauty on saturday from 1-5pm. well i couldnt miss this. so i paid the $95 fee and when the time came i popped on as well as 23 others from around the world to hear what Andrew had to say and show. He talked about beauty is can be the essence and focus in a piece of art. and after an hour of talk, throwing questions around and watching his slide show, the audience get to see Andrew's creative proses. and i must say, just from him using only premade shapes and Corel Painter, he sure developed a whole new style in the digital art world. i really admire this guy and find my self inspired by him. really glad i got to see his lecture.

check out some of his work @ http://androidjones.viewbook.com/

Some New Characters

some characters that i starting to adore. really love the style of them. may do more with them later.

Don't Feed the Animals

this was a stop motion animation that i done at MCAD for my Independent Study. really love how it came out, may do more with them but with foam latex. the clay versions here got all busted up and kept cracking and such. so i'll have to remake them.

Small Illustrations

here are the finished illustrations/character concepts that i whipped up in photoshop. these were from early random sketches that i done.

...sketches....

just some sketches that i done at spyhouse.

More Thumbnail Samples

here are some more little thumbnail sketchs from Andrew Jones's Demo. really like how these patch came out. i am starting to notice that adding a little bit of color can change the feel of them and how they can look.

Andrew Jones Thumbnail Demo

been playing around with an idea/style that Andrew Jones once lectured on. i bought his Massive Black downloadable video and picked up some interesting things from it. so i done some ideas/sketches based off of this. how it works is basically you use -just- the 2d aspect of zbrush, exporting it into painter, adding on some more shapes and so on and then into photoshop were you copy the layer and then flip it. the idea of doing this is that it is suppose to train your mind and your eyes in to picking out what you see. some people see characters, architecture, robots, monsters, vehicles, or armor/clothes. lets see what you see from these.

(note) some are just simple 180 flips cause you can literally have about 50 different versions of 2 of the same shapes cause once you move it, it doesnt look the same any more and you may be able to see something different than before.

A Quick Still Life

Nothing much to add to it. Took me about an hour and 20mins. Did this as an exercise for someone that is Mentoring me via ConceptArt.org. The image is a lil poor cause i couldn't scan it due to the size of the paper, so had to take a picture of it.

More Drawings

Some more stuff i had done.

Just some Sketches

i never really posted my sketches that i have in my sketchbook so gonna be posting some here. some of these sketches i ~may~ touch them up some and do some quick coloring to them. some of these are modified versions of pre-existing characters other are just ideas or concepts for certain classes.

ANIMATION! WOOT!

heres some other animatons that i have done while @ MCAD

this Video is a Internship with Motown Records. had to do a snippet/shot animation for it.


this was my final for digital illustration. had to make a short animation for it and i went over :)

I'll Miss You...

I know it has been a while since my last post, haven't really been all that productive. Last week on~ Tuesday I believe, I revived an email from my mom stating that she had put my dog Lacey down. Yeah it sucks and all that and I'll miss her but at the same time i understand why she did it. A) She was getting weak from laying around so much and not being productive her self. B) From that, she was having health issues. C) Walks with her kept getting shorter and shorter. D) I been away from home for soo~ long with school and now work and living in Minneapolis that I got detached from her so the news of my mom putter her down didn't have much of an impact on me. She was a sweety and enjoyed spending time with her and giving her attention and she all ways loved to cuddle. So yeah, I'll miss her.
