Red Dragon

Trying something new,  a mid-week dragon project.

Also check out all these unrelated sketches I forgot about until now:

Predator

Roar!

A little break from the normal. Drawn for fun as well as an alumni blog in free time after work. I enjoyed Predators, it was exactly what I thought it would be, a wild romp through the forests with predators going after some silly archetypes. There where explosions, and they where glorious.

Until Next time!

The Infected

Fangtooth

SpiderSnake

Fleshbabies



Zombies

These are what the hero will fight. All of them are related, and came from a virus. The tree goes infection> Zombie> Eggsack> Fleshbabies> and then evolution into any number of creatures, borrowing DNA from living things. Had fun with these, done all in photoshop. They may change pending a crit.

Also, heres a color test on a sketch of fangtooth:

SURPRISE!

Says the Party Monster.

Needed a break from everything else. I doodled his head on a thumbnail I working on, and then decided later go go and sketch his body out. I might do a more detailed rendering later, but for now heres this. The more detailed one will most likely have body parts here and there and a martini glass in one of his hands.

'class' work is starting to pick up so my time for personal work and posting on here will probably be limited to once a week. With the exception of this guy, or girl, or whatever. PARTY MONSTER!

Monster Sketches and a Building

So these are some quick sketches for developing a monster. Pencil, pen, and copic markers. There was a lot of experimenting , but its pretty clear i like creatures that stand on thin pointly legs. The creature at the top with the human scale is the one i chose in the end. Though i put him in another project, i will do a separate rendering of him soon.



This is an orthographic turn around for a smaller building that one might find in the east village or pretty much anywhere in NYC. I found and modified some images that might best fit the surface textures of the building.

Hopefully ill get some more new stuff up here soon. Until next time, hoohaa!

Near the End...

Of two things. One being this current project. This is a slight re-design of the character Muno. I combined the older version of his character, and the recent design, into one, older looking design. This is pencil with some quick photoshop over it.

The other thing that is ending soon is school. Im all over the place with producing work, applying places, and classes. The job search is a harsh one, but must go on!

Demon WIP

So I've been working on and off on this thing for about a week now. I had originally done it quite hastily for a demo, and then after some peer review, some issues where brought up. I am currently changing those issues, mainly in his right wing and overall composition, but here it is as a work in progress. As part of the re-working of it i have extended the frame, which is why there is an unrendered portion of the tree. Had some fun with the lighting and texturing. Should be done soon....

The head is basically one of the Chimera creatures from the game, Resistance Fall of Man. I think its a really sweet design, but i would have liked to see more non-humanoid designs. So here you go, but now its a demon. Whos having a conversation with a fairy (light source).

The Fowl Larva

So this is what the bigger creature grew from, a larva of sorts. Continuing my new process of no pen work, and just focusing on form value and texture. Think it turned out pretty ok. More soon...

Final Fowl Creature

Ok, here he is. Its clear that ive used some photo collaging for background texture. Pretty much my most detailed thing ever, not just because of the photo textures, i definitely put in extra time to make form without actual line work inside his shape, and NO pen.

more soon hopefully!

A Fowl Creature...

Final-ish version of previous "Bird-Man" looking creature. Definitely went in a different direction.

Pencil/Photoshop . No pen this time.

BIRDMAN!

So this is a quick photoshop render over a pencil sketch. Originally designed for a creature class, it has been pointed out that it is too human. Dispite it not being my final design, i couldn't help but render it, as i love rendering. So now its just a bird-man hybrid for myself and portfolio. This isn't the exact process but helps to break down some of the layers. Most notably the light layer which is the second from the bottom, gives it the most life. Not so bad for not that much time. This was a nice change as i usually go in with pen over the pencil before the render, i might do more with just pencil and rendering.

Piranha Bug

This was originally done in pencil, as with the last Creepy Crawler, and then gone over with some pen. I decided to post the one with and without a background as it is easyer to see all of its structure without the background.

Goodnight!

Creepy Crawly...

I'm working on some creepy bug designs, this is the first of the few. Going to take a break tonight, back at it tomorrow. Job search is going ok, sending out lots of internet things, soon to be snail mail things.
