illustration + design
My sketches from last week. I was a bit under the weather most of last week so I couldn’t stay up to late to do anything major in color. This week gotta get back into drawing animals mode again.

Misc character design #1
Misc character design #2
Found a great tumblr recently Flaber gaster tron that covers a lot of clothing and fashion from different regions. I am trying to expand my clothing styles that characters wear.
Another glorious snow day, spent the day filling up a few pages in the sketchbook and ended up doing this piece late into the night.
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.
Super cool pinup model little.miss.bambi always an awesome reference to work from.
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.
Cartoon Network recently premiered a mini series called Over the Garden Wall. It was surprisingly dark and very well done. I came across the Tumblr community’s take on the two main characters Wirt and Greg and decided to do my own take on fanart for the show.
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…
Almost at the end of Kill La Kill it’s been an amazing ride. This is the type of series as soon as it ends I will need their art books in my hands ASAP.
I did this sketch the other day and decided to spend way to long rendering it. I have no regrets about it.
My slight obsession with Sketch Dailies continues into the summer months apparently. The daily theme the other day was Wonder Woman. I am not to sure as to the genesis of this concept, I would like to revisit the design in a more detailed design at some point.
With World Cup right around the corner I wanted to do a sketch of a character based on the home team colors. I ended up scanning it and finishing the entire concept in Photoshop. Ever so often I like to post a visual walkthrough so people can see the steps I take in my creative process.
After the image is redrawn in Photoshop, color values are added afterwards a heavily dithered and distorted background image is inserted in the background.
Ever so often I like to post a visual walkthrough so people can see the steps I take in my creative process. Once the final sketch is done it’s scanned. After scanning the line art has color values added along with gradients and shadows based on light source. It’s always fun to think of something loud for the background sometimes.
