Halloweeny

some Halloween fun...

Tweaks

I originally did this last April, but there was a couple things that always bugged me about it, so I spent a couple hours fixing it up last week.

Another thumb...

...worked up in Painter. I've been liking that of late... I may keep working it, I may just leave it as is.

Close Encounters

Something I recently went back to after a while. I took an old colour sketch and spentlast week working it up in painter using some art pen tools, then finished it off in CS3. I think I'm getting better at a more painterly approach. I did most of the work on one layer, which is a much simpler approach than I normally take. I tried to keep it loose in areas and not overwork it.



and a detail...

Long time no post

So finally here's a small update. To anyone who actually checks this thing for new work - my apologies. It's been a great summer, but I've had almost no time for personal work. Anyway, I worked up one of my colour sketches a while back. I used Painter for this and really liked the way the Art Pen brushes actually update the cursor with the brush pen, unlike photoshop where you have to guess at the angle as you rotate the stylus.

Anyway, I hope to be posting more often as the weather gets worse and I start doing more personal work in the fall. Thanks for looking.

Vent

Hey hey,

Still really busy these days, not much to post other than this piece. Click the thumb for a bigger version.

Stuff from the last while...

I haven't made quite as much time for personal work for the last little while in favour of more bike riding and getting some stuff organized, but I've been chipping away at a few things.

Another page of colour thumbs...




A paint-up of the character sketch from the last post. This personal project is definitely gaining some momentum in my head...more to come.



This piece is from a sketch done in 2006. I had the idea a couple years before that even, so I'm pretty stoked for it to finally be done.
