a bit 'o mornin' life drawin'

from yesterday morning's long pose session at hancock center. i generally dread the early morning, but there's something therapeutic about painting while not entirely awake. i don't really remember how long i spent on this, maybe an hour and a half or two hours? cintiq companion is fun.

test sketches

couple of test sketches for a thing i'm working on. still haven't matched the style to what i've got in my head, but i think these are in the right direction. gotta push my shapes and colors more!

doodlin'

missed life drawing this morning, so i doodled me a dragon.

a truck

it's a truck! quick warmup study.

skull study

a sword for an undead king

here's a sword concept i did a bit ago for wraith king from dota 2. i think this is getting made, but who knows?

and here's a few concepts for the character clinkz, of a similar theme. i think one of these will get made at some point.

character illustration process

several months ago, i did some character illustrations for a local company, and wanted to show some of the process. pretty straightforward: sketch pose, line work, color/value block in, and clean up! still working out how to get it efficient, but that's the journey, eh? will post some of the other characters later.

i wouldn't be happy either if i had to wear all that gear.

DOTA 2 store
