Surroundings

Did this one this weekend.  This is a character/creature that i designed a while back and decided to put her in an environment that fits her style.  Lotsa twisty things.

The Hamster Space Project

So I finally got around to finishing this piece.  All in all I'm pretty happy with it.  It was good directional lighting study if anything else, plus I had a ton of fun with some of the background details.

Simple enough.

Turnaround

I finished this turnaround of this kid character and his crazy invention a while ago.  The machine was really fun to design.  Basically the idea is he created this machine to do his chores quicker and easier.  It sucks things in like a vacuum, and ejects the equivalent mass in pizza, chocolate milk, or baby sloths (because who doesn't want a large amount of any of those things?).

Your average kid genius.

The Flip-Flopinator.  Great for cleaning your room
and acquiring large amounts of pizza.

Moleskine of Past and Present

Here's some old pages from my small moleskine sketchbook that I scanned/cleaned up recently.

I like the idea of prismacolor markers,  but using them on this paper pretty much ruins everything before and after that page.  I experimented with a marker-looking brush in photoshop for the one above (I cheated).

Get Outta Here Guy(s)

Since I'm home, I thought I'd finish up and post this sketch from my small Moleskine sketchbook of a friend here in Troy, before I see him later today.  Enjoy.

"Catchphrase"

I'm not sure how I like presenting a two-page sketch.  Sometimes I like leaving the page seam because it's something you work with while composing, but this way it does look a bit cleaner.

Amy's Birthday Sketch

It's my sister's birthday this wednesday, so I thought I'd post this sketch i did of her.  Happy Birthday Amy!  No hard feelings...

Amy being negative, for whatever reason

Look Mom!

Finally.  Finished this guy last week.  I was really happy with the color palette in this piece, I think it fits the mood fairly well.  Let's hope it shows up on your screen like it does on mine...
