New year. Old Project.

Well I've finally decided to start a project I've been mulling over for the past year. It's intended to be a portfolio piece for a mock animated movie so that I can make a book to show future employers. I'm going the Disney way, I'm finding an old fairy tale and putting my own twist on it. But my twist is that I choose a very NON Disney story. Basically mine does not have a happy ending. This is just me playing with the character designs. The story takes place mostly when the character is older but it does spend some time in her childhood. And I've been stuck in my Children's book style for a while now so I thought this would be a good time to experiment with my painting technique. I'm going to try and push myself on this one, with a detailed background and extreme lighting. More to come. Stay tuned!

Getting back into Sculpting

Well it's been a good four years since I last Sculpted and I'm finding it a fun way to blow off steam. After seeing the Guardian's of the Galaxy (c) Disney movie this year my little sister asked me to make her a little Groot and Starlord Action figure. Funny enough the first piece I ever sold a gallery was an Alice in Wonderland themed doll I did my first year at college. I think I may do some more of these using some of my own concept characters, The little Star-Lord isn't finished quite yet I haven't hat time to finish his arms and little blasters. I have preliminary sketches for these two somewhere and once I find them I'll add them in.

 Toy design by me.

just a random art update

Character designs that I've been picking at in Photoshop. The first is a game character that I hope to develop into a small mock video game pitch to add to my portfolio. There will be five races and I wanted to do a male and female version of each. This was the Magi female attempted design. still working on the colors. The second is a little Viking character I've been doodling forever.

Just a random sketchbook drawing that I plan to paint soon. Satyrs are one of my favorite mythical creatures. That and Werewolves but I have a big problem drawing wolves/dogs, its a working progress.
