Bumbernuggle

I started this tonight at Trevor's.  I'll try something more interesting with the lower legs tomorrow, but for now... sleep.

You remember when I said I'd post updates as I progressed on the M.U.L.E.?  I lied.
Here's where I left off on it.  I was spending too much time on it and just lost my focus, so I thought I'd step away from it for a bit.  That was like, a month ago...

I've been really trying to improve how I approach environment pieces, so that's been my focus for the last month.  There's still too much noodling going on, but I do feel more confident with each one, so I guess that's something.




This weekend I spent some time on the iPad using Procreate.  The lack of pressure sensitivity or adjustment layers has really helped me free up and get back to the actual drawing like a real artist... with a small rubber nubbed stylus.
Expect a lot more of these.

M.U.L.E.

Modular Utility Land Explorer
Something I've been playing around with this week.  Still has a long way to go, but I want to get better about showing progress. I've been trying to spend a little more time on the initial sketch so I don't waste as much time trying to design while I paint.  It's been a refreshing change of pace.
The variants are way too fun!  I'll be doing a lot more of those before I'm done with this thing.

Sketches I'd Like to Finish


Just started this one so, there's a lot of issues here that still need to be resolved.   I don't do enough vehicles and this one isn't too terrible so I'll definitely finish it.


An experiment in lighting.  It's a shame I got so far on this with such a boring pose.  Oh well, I could waste time fixing it or I could learn from it and move on...

Some quick composition studies using the lasso and gradient tools.


I might go back to this one and resolve some of those lighting issues... maybe?  I don't know...

I did this one a while back on my phone using Sketchbook pro then took it into Photoshop and threw on some adjustment layers and made a few tweaks for fun.

I don't really do all that much fantasy stuff, but these were really satisfying to work on.  I'll probably go back and finish the giant at some point.


This was for a CHOW on Conceptart.org from a while back.  It was an excuse to try out a different sketching style.

The Void

It looks like the cover I did for WildFire's upcoming line of RPG books, The Void, has made it's way onto the internet, so it's time to show it off.
There's a few interior pieces that I was pretty happy with as well, hopefully I can post those up soon.
