Mugs

Every now and then I'll embark on a Brush binge. Should the bounty be fruitful, I'll run the new recruits through my comfort zone; mug busts.

Somali Spook

A contribution made to a weekly themed character design group. Like most design groups born of a neat idea on lunch, it gave way to other personal endeavours. Had a good time thinking up this somali pirate ghost.

:First Pass

Some left overs from the cutting room floor. Didn't want them to go to waste.

:Creature Discomforts

Been noodling around with ideas for enemies a good 2 weeks now. Decisions were made to tackle these guys with some Creature Box-esque comic book aesthetic. I'll follow up with some colour once the forms follow all the functions we'll need in-game. Until then; cheerio.

:Chia

Watersmudge strikes again. Safe to say I'll be exploiting this poor little brush for quite some time. I'll admit, I botched this portrait. Chalk this one up as a learning experience. Watched a cool little video over at ctrlpaint 'bout referring back to old works for a sense of progress. Wise words to those of you formatting your blog to post 'recent' or 'better' work ;)

:Canadian Olympians

Said I'd post this back when I was working on it. Better late than later. Did illutrations for this 1.5 week project at work. Nathan Goddard was our motion artist that put them all together.

:Watered Down

Found a cool watercolour smudge brush. Tried it out on a portrait. Works rather well. Took about 90 minutes.

:VSV Hero

This'll be the last post on this game, promise. It was pretty fun working on this early in the project. Deadlines have a way of curbing what you want and what you have time to do. Not to say deadlines are bad, quite the contrary; endless iteration can wear you out. All that to say, I enjoyed the little extra time I had with these. Enjoy.

:VSV Bot

This particular piece is a little glimpse into yet another project I've recently wrapped on. The character in question is none other than the games driving motivator. Perhaps I'll have more details for you lovely folk once the game goes live in a few weeks.

:Vi to the king

Didn't realize there was a Stats tab to track traffic. Apparently people still come here...

Done this around the time I worked on the project below. Friend of mine was looking to colour his art work. Gave it a shot.

:Crashin'

Roman inspired Crashed Ice warrior. It's actually an Olympic sport. Check it out.

:Brawlin'

Little teaser of a project I'm illustrating. Soon as I am able, I'll post the project in it's entirety. Stay tuned.

:Creature Croc

My first time trying to paint a sketch. I've been drawing inspirado from the good folks from Creature Box. Hope you enjoy :)

:Concepting

Finally getting around to fleshing out an idea I've had slow cooking for years now. The ingredients are pretty standard; Action, adventure, mythology, and a pinch of grandiose. I'll pepper the page with my progress for all you faithful visitors and stumbler upons.

Cheers
