another HUGE lifedrawing session

This time it was with the Wonder Geeks Activate! folks.

They invited some fantastic cosplayers/models to put on a top tier lifedrawing event with plenty of content and great prizes! I even won one!

A very big thanks goes out to Adam Tupper, Cherry Valance, Audrey Hipturn, Dex Morgan, Champagne Sugar, and Shawn Hundsdale. I really enjoyed my time spent drawing today and feel the 6 hour long stint I stayed produced some really great work.

See for yourself.

CoreTechs:Tactics Trailer BG pan

Trying to paint up the first of the panning backgrounds from the CoreTechs:Tactics backgrounds. It's a pretty huge undertaking. I've never tried to tackle something of this magnitude before and it'll take some serious experimentation with painting style to get it to where i'm hoping to take it. I'll post progress shots of it as I go. Here's a greyscale of how it started and a shot of where I'm at now.

Progress on Magneto

WonderGeeks Retro Images

Another 30 Day Challenge that I'm already a week behind.

So my buddies put together a Villain 30 Day challenge and I'd hate to miss out on at least some of the fun. I don't have time for fully finished pieces so it'll be sketchy on these images. I just can't NOT do a few of the proposed characters over the month.

Coretechs: Tactics doggie redux

Misunderstood that the dog unit I had been designing was meant to be entirely synthetic in nature. So after some tweaks this week we have this!

BUTTONS!

I recently invested in a button maker for upcoming conventions and art shows.

To break it in I put together some promotional buttons for my public signing of my first childrens illustrated book, The Littlest Knight.

Coretechs Dog

That's right. Call of Duty has one and so does CoreTechs: Tactics.

WGA RETRO: Preview 2 Rogue

Here's a preview sketch of my next Patrick Nagel-esque print under production for the Wonder Geeks Retro-Activate Show on June 17th

Dr. Sketchy's: SuperFriends!

Had a blast at last night's Sketch Session at the Mercury Lounge. Edith Chartier and Cherry Valance yet again proved their skill and prowess as magnificent models. Thanks for the great evening. Here are the fruits of my labors!

Wonder Geeks Activate Retro Show! Monday June 17th at Zaphod Beeblebrox!

I've been accepted in another Wonder Geeks Activate art shows and I've been working towards making some great pieces to go with the shows theme. 'Retro-Active' I've spent the last few weeks studying various prominent pop artists from the 70's to 80's and have been adapting their styles to make images of some of the famous characters from videogames and comics of those eras. Below is a sample of a work in progress of Samus Aran done in the style of Patrick Nagel's portraits.

Some fun with Portal 2

A quick John Snow sketch

Another structure design in the works

New CoreTechs Concept art

Began work on some building concepts today working off of some greyscale roughs I made earlier.

Below is a Brethren Building.
