sketchbook

some random characters from the sketchbook, thought it might be a good coloring exercise.


sketch for a potential project. i thought to myself, 'you know, i've never drawn a velociraptor before, hmmm...'

Tiki-Burger comp

worked out the Tiki-Burger location composition, that i had sketched out before in little blue scribbles. really trying to get a hold of some solid industrial design skills. i'll work on some color too.

landscape

an experiment really trying to get a hold of 'depth luminace,' 'occlusion,' and 'spotlighting,' in my work.

i'm a big fan of Thomas Scholes' environments. check out his sketches here, lots of quck stuff but plenty of gems. also his color work here

hovertank

concept i've been working on. could use some more little details (decals, stains, etc.) but i'm liking where it's going.

life drawing

a different approach. more sketchy, with this new mid-tone conte-charcoal pencil i picked up.


a quickie. just enough to block it in.

draw night

fun as always; hit up some awesome pizza afterwords.
this is: "a hillbilly summoning the devil to gain some shredding fiddle skills."

i've seen Adam up there before, and i'm always trying to spy his secret master technique. so while i did recognize him, the magic on the paper is so distinctive you can pick it out a mile away. but this time i got up the guts to pay him a compliment; props where props are due.

thanks Adam.

electric leaf

a quick mock-up.

WIP

hovertank.


beanstalk composition.

by the power of...

mmm... kung-fu....


character design for steam-Jack, a draw over of Berk's interpretation.

steam slums

a concept environment for an entry into CGSociety's "Steampunk Fairytale" contest. teaming up with the great Berk for a steam version of 'Jack and the Beanstalk.'
in our version: Jack lives in the bottom/slums of the great steam driven machine of London. dark, gloomy, disgusting. far away from the idyllic victorian worlds usually depicted:

monster

final version of WIP i posted awhile back http://chromiumash.blogspot.com/2008/09/1122.html

photo-mosaic

an experiment merging images of the living room from multiple perspective points. for example, i was standing in front of the door on the right when i took the first picture, which is where the image starts on the left side. then i drew over the images to make it a cohesive image and play with the colors.

monk character

doodled out a character during a movie the other day.

oldie

never before seen concept for the '3 Billygoats Gruff' troll. zombie cyclops version.
