thumbnailextravaganza!

first image is some rough thumbs created for my concept class in school a semester or two ago. bottom image was an exercise i picked up from daryl mandryk, which was to spend an hour doing 1 minute abstract thumbnails. definitely received an ass-kicking! will definitely be doing that exercise again. 



psuedo speedpaint

one of the last paintings i did at school. done in a day and some change. acrylic on board. i was told to approach it like i would a digital painting... definitely destroyed my brain.


a robot for a 2-year old

2-year old's dig robots, right? oil on primed paper. this was actually my first "completed" oil painting. done for a friend's kiddo. apologies for the crappy photo.



portrait study from life

a portrait study from life. done a few (?) months ago. had a blast with this one. oil on canvas board. apologies for the crappy photo




plein air

a plein air study out in wimberly from a few weeks ago. i can't wait to get back out there... so many areas that were way more beautiful than what i chose to paint :) apologies for the crappy photo


rolls royce study

started this a while back. will wrap this one up soon!


science vehicle concept sketch

from school last year... still need to finish this one!


axe!

axe concept i was toying around with for Axe from dota 2. 



speedpaint

we were doing 1-hour speedpaints at work a while back, which was a great exercise. we'd come up with a fairly vague (in most cases, anyway) prompt, and get to it.





doodles + experiments = funsies

 random bugman doodle, an attempt at one of robotpencil's processes, and some robot experiments started with photos. fun times!



self portraits//portrait studies

from my last semester at school... portrait studies from a live model, self portraits, and a sketch based on a self portrait.





1-hour movie still studies

here's a few 1-hour studies from movie screenshots. these are super fun. as you can see, the success rate varies, but each one provides a small wealth of knowledge.







landscape studies



couple of older studies from the internets

scifi env sketch


a leftover sketch from school last year. still think this one has potential, just need to fix lots o stuffs!
