Here are a few studies for a short film I am making. Some head shapes and body type explorations as well as a more thorough design. They are very early designs, really far from the final result.

These were part of a series of commercial beat boards I did a while back. The idea was to do multiple commercials each one representing a flavour of the product that the company was selling.

Stepping Back

2011-05-01T00:10:00.000-07:00

Starting to work towards a more gamer esque concept art style. Totally inspired by Cliff and Jason.

2011-04-26T21:23:00.000-07:00

Throughout the production of our film Knighty Night I had the pleasure of creating the colour script of the film. I shrank some storyboards that were created by my fellow group members, Alanna, Rachelle, Matt, Ian and Omar, then painted over them so we could identify the right colours for the tansitional scenes between the real and dream world sequences.

It shall be named Lucifertown.

2011-04-23T02:17:00.000-07:00


Here are some primary shots I wanted to use for my action analysis project. I wanted to go for a gloomy town.


Here I deveated from the origional gloomy idea and instead wanted a grim yet inviting world.

2010-01-31T16:37:00.000-08:00

I felt this image (although utilized for the background of the other) deserved its own post. I like the composition and the lines. (this is the one I started with then decided to expand because had around 3 weeks)

BUSHIDO HAS ARRIVED

2009-06-15T01:13:00.000-07:00

Just arrived and about to sleep!!!

;P A digital painting I did for my internship portfolio.
A while back I tried tutoring a really good friend of mine ( I still do up to this day) she was always intrigued by my ability to generalize certain areas of the painting completely. As you can see it isn't fully rendered, usually I try not to fully render every pixel, however I do patch up the essential focal areas.

Ships>>>the space kind

2009-06-10T23:20:00.000-07:00

Here is a digital sketch (40 min about) I remember sleeping half way when drawing this, looking at it now, it looks meh. Finally finished organizing my stuff for the trip, and I figure I am ready as I will ever be so why not just post a couple images :). enjoy ( trips on the 13th)

2009-06-03T22:08:00.000-07:00

{Image of some fruit that I devoured...mmmm tasty}

Lately been very busy with planning the trips and what not on my grand expedition. Its going well a lot to plan and organize but I will probably be able to manage it all (hopefully) As for thee old blog, I think that for a week or so I will hold off on posting stuff because I will probably be a bit busy with work while interning and what not and unfortunately the work I produce as an intern will not be posted up, due to NDA regulations and the good old contract. But there is hope, I will probably be posting here and there so keep an eye out and stay tuned. (here is the first photo I took with my new Cannon Rebel XTI :)

The city life

2009-05-31T02:31:00.001-07:00

Here is a quick 1 hr digital rough that I came up with a couple weeks back, I liked this one out of multiple and decided to finish it but to be honest I like the bw version.

Inspired by vids I suppose

2009-05-29T11:58:00.000-07:00

I was watching some FF vids and was kinda inspired to do some strange rock formations.

Some more stufffz

2009-05-29T04:24:00.000-07:00

Here is a drawing that I did quite a while ago, I still remember me trying to get this done in record time however it took just a bit longer. Insomnia sucks btw :(.

Wanderer

2009-05-27T22:56:00.000-07:00

I started drawing this random image that was floating in my head then 3/4 's of the way into it I flipped it and decided that it would look much better rotated. Goes to show how the creative process is so unpredictable. woot.

Hey hey hey

2009-05-19T00:23:00.000-07:00

This started as a digital figure painting, however I got home and tweaked it to the point of no return. Add some tats and you have .....well judge for yourself. (some close ups are also included)

Above is a digital painting (+ close ups) I did in the last few weeks of school. I really don't remember what inspired me to do this, but as with many of my digital paintings, I was probably watching my Planet Earth dvds. ( I enjoy them very much)

Bones

2009-04-24T20:16:00.001-07:00

Throughout first year animation, Mark Thurman (our 1st year life drawing teacher, a true master of all that is the human figure) had assembled a project in which we drew various sets of bones. These are a few of the ones I had done. More art is on the way...a lot more.
