Dipper Inks

Dipper all inked up. I was practicing drawing Dipper last night for an illustration I want to do. I also need to practice Mabel and Grunkle Stan. I started refining the sketch so much that I decided to just ink it properly. I may even plop on some color later.

Hair

Some quick hair doodles from ref. Lots of fun! I'll definitely be doing more of these.

Txting

I've always been pretty annoyed when people text or play with their phones in any way while they're walking around the hallways. Mainly because I'm behind them and their phone usage causes them to walk slow as a zombie. This morning, I caught myself doing the same thing. For shame!

Zuko practice

Practicing drawing Zuko, when he was in Ba Sing Se, for a project I have in mind.

Blood N' Fur

Blood N’ Fur… sorry, but that’s a cool title. Sounds like a wicked metal band.

I'm outta here!

Just a quick scene sketch.

Quick lunchtime sketch

Was a bit bored, so I did some sketching.

Finally...

Finally posting some artwork. I've been out of it for far too long, so I'll try to upload stuff on a regular basis. I forgot how much I enjoy and love drawing, so I'll be very active!

So what's been going on with me? I've spent the last few years as a 3D character/environment/prop artist in the game industry. I've worked on a bunch of titles, including Fable 2, Borderlands, Guitar Hero 2, Rock Band, etc. I was getting a burned out with 3D freelancing, so I moved over to being a UI Artist at Microsoft. Other than work stuff, I've gotten married (nearly 2 years now) and have a baby boy, Wesley, who's nearly 1 :)

I have my work cut out for me. I have lots to learn, and I'm super eager to do so. I really need to work on my visual storytelling abilities, so I've enrolled in Rad SeChrist's online storyboarding class. Can't wait for the term to start. And yes, I'll be posting my assignments here for all to see.

I'm back!

I'm bringing this thing back from the dead. I've neglected it for far too long. To start things off, here are a couple sketches.

Some quick character busts:

color study

Here's a color study I did a bit ago but forgot to post.
