Another Tiger Painting...

From Paintings

Hey everyone, I don't know what it is, but I seem to be on a big cat painting kick right now. Here is another digital painting of a tiger. I'm not sure how long this one took me; I was not keeping track of the time.

EDIT: This painting was done with photo reference (if you didn't already assume that)

Some Photos...

Here are some photos that I took during my Cali Trip (Summer 2008) and my Europe Trip (Spring 2007) that I have finally found some time to clean up for printing. Really only the last one is from my Europe Trip, the rest are from Cali.

Life Drawing - Oct 3rd and Oct 8 2008

Here are some life drawings from two days where I really had some fun during the sessions.

Absolutely Incredible Animation

From Absolutely Incredible

I "finished" my Absoutely Incredible Animation Today. I ended up running low on time, so I had to cut some serious corners. In the end though I'm pretty happy with how it turned out considering the time contraints. If I get time in the summer or Christmas break I will probably try to rework it.

As a recap, for the assignment we were asked to design a character and then animate a lip sync to a provided audio file provided by our instructor.

Speed Paint Attempt #3

From Paintings

Here is another attempt at speed painting. This one was probably a little over 1 hour.

Spped Paint Attempt #2

From Paintings

Here is my second attempt at speed painting. I limited myself to 1 hour this time and in doing so I think I tried to rush myself at the beginning giving me a mishapened tiger. I think the next time, I will still take my time to properly block the shaped in first.

Atempt at Speed Painting

From Paintings

Here is my first attempt at speed painting. Lets just say that there wasn't much speed to this painting. It ended up taking 2 hours, but it was a very informative 2 hours. Hopefully I will be able to cut down on the time these rough paintings take me. Just in case you guys didn't know feedback is always welcome. Thanks.

Death Final

From Paintings

Here is a final version of my "Death" painting.

Painting Death (Redux)

From Paintings

I needed to wind down before sleeping so I thought I would revisit and tidy up some of the painting. I also added some things to painting based on the feedback I recieved earlier today. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and opinions it added volumes to the success of this painting.

Character Design for "Trekkie" Character

From absolutelyincredible

From absolutelyincredible

Here are some designs I created for my Character Design class. The assignment was to create a suitable chracter based on a audio track that we chose. The final design (second image) will be used in conjunction with the audio track to create an animation for my animation class.

Drawings from Life Drawing Class

I had a great drawing session in life drawing class yesterday. More and more I feel like I have been returning to a more expressive method of drawing and I'm pretty happy about that. It feels quite natural. It unfortunately comes at the expense of correct anatomy and proportions but I figure I can always get that back in there afterwards.
