After seeing Disney’s Big Hero 6 recently I began looking into the concept art for that film. In particular the loose brush work that some concept artists use for their concept work.

I wanted to try learning this technique it has a really cool look. For those familiar with current Marvel, Gwen Stacey is alive and she is Spider Woman on another earth.

This painting technique is just blocking out basic colors and afterwards just dark value lines to accent shapes that would otherwise get lost. I am still tweaking and trying to figure it out.

Sketch Dailies Illustration 11-19-2014

This year I realized I developed a bit of an addiction to Sketch Dailies. Usually on the way home I think about the character design if it’s really good I start right away.

It was fun just using rough 5-10pt brushes not very complex and it has a simple fun look to it.

Quick Illustration 11-15-2014

Did a quick sketch while drawing some other stuff. I wanted to see how quickly I could render her if I took a couple of shortcuts compared to my usual rendering process. I came up with a couple of tricks I need to try on something with more environment in it.

Inktober Halfway Mark 10-16-2014

It’s been a tough Inktober, in retrospect forcing myself to do this during New York Comic Con weekend was a bad idea. I took two days off and drew a couple Sunday night to make up for the days I took off.

The great part is I am really getting comfortable with brush pens this time around.

Sketch Dailies Front Page 10-01-2014

Yesterday was the first day of Inktober, my goal is to actually make it through the entire month.

The exciting news is Sketch Dailies actually posted my Dredd sketch on their page. This might not seem like a big deal but to me it is. A number of my favorite professional illustrators routinely get posted on their site.

Destiny Doodle 09-08-2014

I am pretty psyched to finally get my hands on Destiny. I was a huge fan of the alpha and beta versions of the game.

Even though I have never been a Call of Duty player, I keep hoping an RPG would come out that could give me that awesome gameplay experience.

Here’s to hoping Destiny is it…

This year I came across a great thought process site called Sketch Dailies. The basic premise is everyday the admin post a theme and artist from all over the world submit their own take on the daily theme.

The other day Baobhan Sith was the daily theme. After doing some research on the theme fyi: it’s a Scottish fairy with feet of a goat that entices young men, I came up with the following concept.
