Photography

Hey ya! Not sure if any of my watchers on this blog know that I've recently got into photography!
Bought myself a Canon 7D with a couple of lens.
I've been really having a lot of fun with it. And I'm hoping to make it some sort of side job! I mostly do it cause I freaking love taking pictures. Anyway here's my website, let me know what you think!

under fire

UPDATE: Painted some more :D 08-27-2010

here's some progress from this wip. I like the darkside direction I'm taking it :D

Been a lil stressed about crap that's going on, the painting helped! The always amazing Joe Vriens did the lineart :)

99.9% Done

Too much with the feathers??? LOL 

I'm nearly done! :)

Munny for work

It was assigned that my team design Munnys!

Something that related to Oakley. So i choose to design Hephaestus, God of Fire, craftsmanship. Mostly towards metal. A sort of blacksmith. And Oakley is big on Carbon Fiber and different kinds of metals. I kind of think of Hephaestus as Oakley's God. :) So I decided to try and create that. It's been hard. I probably spent well over 70 dollars on this thing. And started over twice! I just wanted to post my progress on it.

Wasted a cute pair of earrings for this :(

That was the result of my first attempt! My parents helped with this one. It was right after my terrible car accident :/  I didn't really have a clear idea of what I was doing. I just kind of just dove right into it. 

So on to my second try...

I repainted the face with the base color and bought a new Styrofoam sphere, bigger this time.

Hallowed it out.

I had some help with the face. Kelli helped me out with designing the face. Kind of looks like John Locke from LOST. haha.  Left the body the way it was. But added the black cloth to it.

Then I began the base the my Munny would stand on.

craved out pieces to make it look like a rock.

And that's all I've got pictures of now.

I'll post more tomorrow.

I'm about 90% done with it. I have to turn my Munny in early because Saturday night I'm leaving for the Yucatan!!!! I'll be gone for two weeks :D

It'll be my first time on a plane!!!

Work in progress

       

Got an awesome commission done by Joe Vriens, picked it up at SDCC! He also sent me the high res so i could try painting it! Every-time I go to comic con I always get inspired to create! It's hard not to, and I think that goes for every artist that attends that con. Anyway, just posting my progress on it. :)

Still not sure where I'll take it with the colors. But so far I'm happy with it. Also using a new brush from Charlie Bowater , that girl is FREAKIN AMAZING. I feel like i can now paint amazing things because I now have this tool. And not just any tool, Charlie Bowater's tool haha. We'll see how it goes :)

Thanks again Joe!

Man vs Machine

Actually now that I'm looking at it a day later, they all look the same haha.

EDIT 2: Ok, I think this is better :)

EDIT: Better?

WIP

don't think it's there yet :D

Still working on it!

Line art by the amazing Charles Holbert Jr. 

Colors by me

Finished?

I think i'm done. I'm pretty happy with it. :)

I used all three of Lauren's line arts. I think in instead of a Alphonse Mucha feel, I gave it like a story book page feel. Which I kind of like :D

quick

30 minute speed

40 minute speed

quickly painted this bird, ya. of course from reference haha

But the colors started to turn into the colors from my weekly creative review. Just of images I had on there. Oakley colors and whatnot. I actually painted directly on to my review. That's why the image is small. Sorry.

Still working

Still working on it!

"...Means No Worries"

UPDATE: was told that i should bring out the lineart more. Hope it worked.

I think I'm gonna admit that I have a HUGE fan-girl crush on Joe Vriens! :P
I freakin LOVE his art! I'm always inspired by his work and geez, he's really nice about letting paint his stuff!

He posted another sketch (inspired) and I figured I should paint it the same style I did for his Dhalsim sketch. I did this today at work, don't worry! I finished all my work. :)

Well anyway, let me know what you guys think!!!

Lauren's Mucha

I've gotten really inspired to paint this. Lauren was kind of enough to let me paint this. She said she was going for Alphonse Mucha style, So that's how I'm painting.

It's certainly challenging!!! But I'm really diggin it so far though!!!
