Skull Island Layout

Second layout class assignment. It might be cliche but my idea was that after a small plane crash this was the only way onto the island and the characters would metaphorically be swallowed up by the place.  Enjoy.

Western Town

My first two layouts for (surprise) Layout Class. The assignment: draw a western town then do a 180 view of it (the opposite direction). I liked it though it was a bit nerve wracking at first. Then I remembered I know how to draw and just did it. Enjoy.

Catching up

A bunch of stuff. A Collaboration I'm trying to design a P.I. for (he's not standing on the building I just have a small book to draw in), people I saw at the DMV one morning, random sketchbook doodles (for Color Kittens, Batman, a random Mutant, and Giant Movie Director Movie Monsters: a giant Mecha Lucas that can only be stopped by a Mega-Spielberg or Radioactive Coppola. The other two coming soon.) Finally the last four paintings from my landscape class the bottom left of which was meant to be a master painting that we copy and learn from and I got the okay to copy a background from the "Thundarr the Barbarian" intro. That's it for now.

My lovely fiancee whilst waiting in line for the Dark Knight Rises, Andrea reclining, giant monster fight with Kevin C. and adapted children's book for class. Enjoy.

First Oils Ever

First ever oil painting. My tree is a bit rubbery but I really dig the group of trees on the right in the mid-ground.

Batman Sketchbook

Bartoons and End of the Semester Round-up...

End of the Semester. Last of the Character Design class drawings and part of the final in the form of Barbarian cartoon characters. The villains did not turn out as great as I wanted but I like these guys. Batgirl was the last day of drawing and I redid the one pose in my sketchbook. Anyway back to doing comic pages. Enjoy.

Godzilla Only Appears at Midnight...

Random sketchbook doodles. The second is what I've been doing while I was bored waiting for class. It's an exercise in making Krumm and Nox's universe bigger as they walk through a weird market on an alien world. Third is three relatively "quick" drawings of my fiancee for class and the last two are from the model in character design class. Enjoy.

What's New in Character Design...

Yes that's Mr. T. Yes I'm sick to death of drawing him. Hands and feet and shoes that he never asked to review. The Phantom makes me laugh in that he wears the mask on the wrong side of his face. There are a couple of cartoons based on the models that I did during lunch. Pocahontas and Rapunzel are from using a character sheet and using the live model to draw them in the pose we were seeing. A cartoon barbarian girl and then random model drawings attempting to make characters out of them as the class went on. WOO!

Asteroids

So I did this today. The paint is like a pearlescent blue so when the light hits it it looks kind of metal-ish. I'm amused. Another step in bringing space a little bit closer. Micro Machines Star Destroyer and home made Ring World (or halo) for scale. I think one day I'll wake up and notice that I've made all the pieces for a "Smacked in the Head" miniatures game without having realized it.

Imagination Class and boredom

Had to shade the previous drawing in a different way for class.  Enjoy.

Imagination Assignment 2

Character Design Week One and Messin Around...

From Top to bottom. Simple Character Turn around, Life drawings from character design class and some styrofoam asteroids I'm making just to have (micro machines Millenium Falcon for scale). I do appreciate that after a year of being in school my work area is finally starting to look like I'm in my animation major.

Drawing from the Imagination Homework #1

One point perspective, Drawing from the imagination (with some reference). Homework one. About 10 hours, Three Star Trek Movies and part of Predator 2.

I am the Bat, Left Lit World and the Last of Clothed Figure...

So for the past month and a half I've been consumed with "Batman: Arkham City". Highly recommended, big thumbs up. Based on that I also had a Batman themed Christmas it seems by getting four Batman Graphic Novels and a few action figures so there's little surprise that I doodled Batman on my own which I'm very happy with since I've been trying to draw a good Batman head since I was 8. Also included in this post are Left lit doodles inspired by the clothed figure drawing class. And segueing off of that here is a Clothed figure drawing from the class.  When NOT playing Batman and being sick my November/December has been consumed with a secret side project that I'll end up posting about in the coming weeks. Until then.
