Tats not Tatas!

Some stuff and a wip. I'm posting large versions of my stuff here so you can see all my dirty mistakes.

Akuma Matata

Working on an Disney/Akuma piece too. I think I exaggerated him a bit too much but I guess that's how Milt Kahl used to do things. We'll just see how it goes. If you picture him with Jim Cummings voice (Pete from Goofy) it makes slightly more sense.

Hurst 3D

Doing a sculpt based on the cover of Earl Oliver Hurst's artbook. It's one of my favourite artbooks. :)

I've decide to come at this from an "Electric Tiki" angle. They seem to handle 2D to 3D sculpt translations so well. Currently blocking things out, trying to figure out at the proportions. It looks kinda freaky to me right now so I scribbled over a screencap to see if I'm going in the right direction. Going to tilt the head and remove the symmetry on the hair when I'm a bit further down.

Back to Business!!

OK, I stop and start with things way too much. Getting back into 3D. Here are some play arounds I've done over the last few weeks. Photoshop/Sai helps a lot when planning.

It seems to be helping me with my paintings for now at least. In that I'm getting better at volume and anatomy. Hopefully by the time I get ok at this 3D prints will be cheaper. Can't wait to do some vinyl figures, I love those damn those things. I guess I can use it for game design and animation until that day :)

Kinda Sketchy

Your Unique Like Everyone Else

Here's a girl w.i.p I'm quickly working on and a Spiderman paint sketch.

Been super busy lately and had to change my resolve about things. I'm in a sort of "Make it Happen" phase right now. Let's see what comes of it and how long this lasts.

Garbage Out

The moment I zoom out on a painting I hate it. But I also hate people seeing my lazy mistakes when posting high resolution images and close ups. Paradox.

Let's Learn to Paint

I'm starting to like how messy Painter is. I might actually be loosening up. Here's some tests I did while making brushes.




Any pointers are welcome. :)

Sai Junk

I might be trying to do too much in Sai. Looks like I have to bite the bullet and dip into Painter again. I hope the interface has changed since Painter X. Never liked it that much and boy was it unstable.

You know your a prude...

.....when you scribble speedy bras and boxers to cover up naughty bits :/

A million ideas....

....and no speedy way to paint them.

Hope everyone is having a fun Christmas or Holiday!!

Mirror

Been away for a bit haven't I. Work, work, work.

Let's Ref

60 minute sketch from a screencap. I made a few mistakes made in the set up, one being the canvas ratio. Next time I'll make sure its the same as the capture.
Not too happy with this one... long neck, screwy nose, under saturated background. I'll try a few more of these though.


And one 90 min sketch I forgot to post. Ref'd from some fashion magazine.

Speed paints

It seems that if I work on anything for more than 2 hours I get fed up and even start disliking it. Gotta learn to be patient somehow. Anyway, here's some 90min sketches.

Might finish this gal later, placeholder hair just looks awful.


Invincible, refed from a googled 3D sculpt of him.


The joker's in that suit.

Updating

Stay a Head

Lots of deadlines and office work to do :(...no time to chat. Here's some junk for you though.
