Here's some quick 20 min speed paintings of the Oregon Coast!

New Contest Illustrations

Logo Design for A$AP MOB contest on Creative Allies. Wanted a simple and readable design and headphones resonates hip-hop for me. You can see the design and vote, show me support here!

This one was for a t-shirt and toy design contest on Threadless. Threadless and Mighty Jaxx collaborated together to put together this contest. The winners recieve cash prizes and their design made into toys! How badass is that?! I had to enter just for the facts that I haven’t learned how to 3-D model yet (at least this kind of detail) and I have always been interested in toy design. 3-D printing can also be rather expensive! I created robot #27, the first robot to be made with a synthetic and robotic heart. I can design robots forever so expect more of these in the future perhaps and maybe I’ll end up printing them myself on shirts, as toys, or maybe stickers… hmmm stickers sounds like a plan! This contest and my Threadless profile can be found HERE.

 Detail

 Drawing

Here's a master study of a painting from Brother Bear, I stopped after 2hrs of work, it was definitely tough trying to match colors and brush strokes but I'm happy with it.

Indian Speed-painting Study

Here's a painting study of an Indian girl I did after a long break from digital work. First I laid down a gradient and drew a girl sitting in front of the sun from some reference I found. Second was my initial block-in stage trying to match colors from a sunset. I used a lot of warm colors and neutral oranges and yellows. Then just refined and softened up edges until I didn't need the lines anymore.

Player Map

Player map for Autonomous City in Chromogenesis. I wanted it to be more like a futuristic scroll the player would open and use like a touch screen, highlighting points of interests with a finger. The next step is to design the underground map area and interior maps for when the player enters a dungeon or a building.

Chromogenesis Heroes

Here's the first 3 heroes I did for my Chromogenesis story. The first one is the main character Hue, who has the power to manipulate color using a futuristic airbrush called a Chromograff. I did some call-outs for it and of a mask he would wear while painting.

Chromograff

The next two heroes are supporting characters that would be playable in my game. They are Amp & Bass and are twins that manipulate sound. One of my first digital paintings I ever did was of Amp, but it took me forever and is pretty horrible, but hey it was my first time painting in Photoshop. It's a crazy improvement in my digital skills since then, so I figured that would be worth it to see.

Grad. show tease... complete the puzzle ahhh hahahahaha!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! For this speed paint we picked from B-Movie Monsters... The Mutant. The Mutant is from the movie This Island Earth. For this one I made the mistake of looking up what he looked like before I started which was a mistake. I wasn't super happy with this one because I think it's too close to the actual design but oh well on to the next, although I am digging his glowing mouth.

WENDIGO

1 hr. prompt for Halloween... Wendigo a monster from Algonquian native cultures. Wendigo is a malevolent cannibalistic spirit that possess humans or a monster that humans physically transform into.

Speed Paint

Got some new Photoshop brushes so I thought I'd try a hour speed painting. I went 10min. over the hr. because I wanted to add a monk and some depth of field. This new brush set had some nice textures for the block in phase. This painting was a nice break from all of the buildings and more inorganic landscapes I've been working for my Grad. show project.

ROBOT!

That Color layer Glazing technique again because I did it wrong on the spider. Except now I feel like I messed up something in this process a different way this time... oh well third times the charm.

This one started as a drawing in my sketchbook with the prompt of "Robot Segway."

Drooling Spider

I made a random prompt generator with a cellphone app and a long list of nouns, adjectives, and so on and one of the first ones was "Drooling Spider".

I made this sketch for my prompt in a little less than a hour and it sat in my sketchbook for a while. Then, learned a new technique for painting under sketches from a teacher, so I figured I'd try it out on this guy. The technique is interesting but I'm not sure how I feel about it. I think I'm going to try it out on some more of my sketches since painting in this process was pretty quick.

Sketch Dump #1

Been up to tons of drawing and projects but instead of posting and showing everything, all I've done is let them collect dust.

Quick sketch for a Life Painting comp.

Quick sketches with Tony Benedetto

Left one of me was done by him and this right one was of him drawn by me.
