Photostudy 01-27-15

Winter finally showed up here in NE so that means snow days yay. The best part is working late into the night, people that know me know I love after 1am it’s so calming.

I recently got into the habit of quick sketches from my social feeds and ever so often a photo comes up that I need to do an illustration of.

John Wick Illustration 01-19-2015

Finally got around to watching John Wick. For me this is the perfect type of film, a man pushed too far finally fights back with an unstoppable force.

I spent a bit of time on this illustration with the John Wick soundtrack playing in the background.

Process Post 01-02-2015

The first day of 2015 and Sketch Dailies has won me over all over again. Great idea to go with Marty McFly to start the new year off with. Luckily the tv had Back to the Future on tv. I wasn’t able to really draw anything earlier in the day but just watching it for a bit gave me a couple of funny concepts.

New Year Celebration Process 2015

With the New Year around the corner I thought about an image that would kick off 2015. I have been randomly watching Samurai Champloo late night so it’s pretty easy to see where the costume design is inspired from.

Ever so often I like to try digital painting with the short brushes it really has an effect on my character designs.

Always Experimenting 12-28-2014

Some late night casual skimming through some classic manga has driven me to experiment with a more realistic look. I am going to blame it on all the synth-80’s music I have been listening to.

Once I figure out some problems with shades and more steady line value all the way through, I definitely want to try doing some prints.

Christmas Card Process 2014

Last year I got into the habit of creating my own card for the holiday season. I wanted to deviate from the traditional card concept I started with in earlier thumbnail doodles.

It’s always fun to apply new techniques I have learned throughout the year for the yearly holiday card.
