Del Rio progress

UPDATE: I'm done! lol This is probably the most photo-real I've ever gotten with my painting. I'm really happy with it! Thanks to my roommate for the lineart and to Devon for the inspiration!

Painting my roommate's sketch. I'm sorta all over the place with color :/ 

Been awhile since I've painted. I'm trying to go for a realistic feel. Which isn't my norm. We'll see how it goes. I'm calling it the "Del Rio Progress" cause my buddy wants to see progress shots. I'm sure you can guess his name :P 

Lookin alil zombie-like

Someone paint the left eye for me!!! -_-

I'm going all over the spectrum :P

Water Mouse

Just got some new brushes from a fellow artist!
Totally loving the watercolor feel

Scribble

Felt the need to paint something. So i went over to my constant inspiration Joe Vriens blog!!! Actually his deviantart, and found a sketch he did.

when i let loose and just scribble with the brush I feel more relaxed and I get something i like. haha
I know that's how you're suppose to paint, but sometimes I have other things I'm thinking for the painting then just going crazy with it and not caring.

I'm really pleased with it :)

Space man

Finally was able to paint something that I was happy with!
I always hate how I'll paint something awesome and then paint shit for months! It's like my power level was used up to create something awesome. Now I have to wait for my power to be at maximum, before i can paint anything worth posting . :( aaaaaaannoying!

So when I was able to paint something today! I was extremely happy.
It's by Sean Reilly, my co-worker/close friend. While he's mostly a 3D modeler, he's known to draw from time to time. I've been trying to get him to sign up for a blogspot. But, yea. He's been dragging his feet on that one!

Anyway, I'm loving the colors. I have this other painting I'm working on and these were the colors I wanted to use. But again, i was painting shit! So I stopped working on it. I'm gonna have to pick it up soon because Etoli gave it to me to paint. Aaaand since I live with her now, haha I can't escape it! haha :P


The image really inspired me to paint, so Sean scanned it for me :D

At first he really reminded me of Kisame Hoshigaki, from Naruto. So I kept thinking "blue" lol
I just went with it. I'm pretty pleased. :)

FINISHED!!!

Whoo, i'm really happy with it :D

Take 2

Alvin Lee Coloring Contest

I'm entering in Alvin Lee's contest.
But I'm having a hard time with it. So i'm just gonna post what I have and hope some of you will have some suggestions for it. I gotta be honest, i'm really out of steam on this one. :/

I think the last one is the one I'm going with.

Epic Juice

I was invited to be apart of this Sketch Group Blog called Epic Juice.
Which is part of a sketch group on wednesday at the District in Tustin.

These paintings were in my first post :)




painted from refer.

Finally

Here's some art I'm working on...

Eh, I might take it in a completely different direction. We'll see. Still feels messy to me.


The artist is from dA, check out his work!

I'm going with this one

This is the one I went with :D
I'm pretty happy with it!


I could see this animated for a Gorillaz music video.

Colored by me :D

Pushing that last post down....

Boy, that last post is obnoxious to look at!
Anyway, July is coming up fast! I can't wait. Oakley is sending Lacey and I to CGcon so that should be fun. Sean actually suggested it as a conference for us to go to. It's turning out to be one of the most anticipated conventions of the year. With of course San Diego Comic Con just two days after it. Which I'll also be going to :D
I'm excited to go, but I seriously don't want to think about all the money I'll be spending there. ;p;

Anyway, I'm working on this painting. It's for Joe Vriens! I found this drawing in his scraps and I was inspired to paint it. I actually started it last year and finally, tonight decided to continue with it.
But I'm having trouble with the direction I should finish it up in. It's pretty much done either way.
But I don't know which one i like, yet.
So i'll just post it here and see if anyone has any suggestions :)

Well ever since John and I decided to go see Mike Tracy's art show, we felt inspired to paint with actual paint and brushes instead of the digital ones haha. Boy, did I miss CRTL + Z lol
