POWER!!!

Here's the final of what I was working on in my last post. WIP included. Hope you like :)
I guess I should also mention that I've got an actually portfolio page up now. Yes, I joined Deviant Art JUST for this feature XD It's free too so that's a win right there. Check it out!

Work in Progress

Thought I'd update with a WIP I'm working on right now. Been getting a lot of good feedback from the ConceptArt forums and realized that I need to work on placing my characters in environments. I also need to add more hues in my work. In this picture I'm trying to tackle both of those problems (still have to get into color though).

Wraith Concept

Here's a wraith concept I've been working on inspired by the Sand Wraith from the game Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. I finally figured out how to make those animated gifs to show my WIP too. Hope you like it!

Finals and Figures

I completely forgot to post my final assignments for my classes along with a bunch of other stuff XD So here's what I've got!

First up is my Digital Photography & Photoshop final. The goal of the assignment was to take our own photo reference of a human figure and create a mythological illustration using a composite of images. In this illustration, a wizard is summoning rain to put out the fire in the burning city in the distance. I went ahead and put the separate images I used for this below the illustration so you could see what I put together. I ended up making a lot of color changes and painting in things myself (the coulds, lightning, rain, fire, steam, staff). I ended up painting on top of the figure as well (who happens to be my teacher XD)









Next is my Analysis of Form final which is simply just a portrait of John Wayne.


And just some figure drawings. The first one was my first attempt at using white charcoal. I enjoyed it a lot though and hope to do more drawings like this soon.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Here's a 1 hour speedpaint I did just for today...my weird version of Santa XD.

Gargoyles

Here's a piece I've been working on. I had more ideas I wanted to incorporate into this one but with finals coming up, it's time to move on.

Liminal Rez Art Exhibit by Andrew Jones

This past Saturday I was lucky enough to have the chance to see one of my favorite artists, Andrew Jones, at the opening of his exhibit. I've seen a lot of his work online but it was definitely great getting to see his art up close. He also closed the event with a Phadroid performance like the one here. Here are some pictures I took of the event.

Me with Andrew Jones!

For anyone interested, a lot of his work can be seen here and a video of how he works here.
