It's never too late to revisit the basics....I've been needing to do that for some time now, just been hard-pressed for time. This was fun, it took about 3-4 hours to complete, not including the time it took to devour that apple. :3

Another somewhat of a sketch, for the daily sketch group, just for some practice. I don't do enough aircrafts  so it was a nice change. 

An entry for the daily sketch group, I was given a basic idea to do a synthetic worm, and so, I went ahead and made this from the basic idea. I'm not too sure about how the worm turned out though, kind of looks like a train, haha!

A two in one day special! Because I forgot to post one yesterday!  

Almost forgot to post day 3's gestures! :p I've been learning some interesting methods from veteran artist, Glenn Vilppu. I've learned that there's lot more to the gesture that just racing to get them done. There's a very important way of seeing the model and getting that "feeling" rather than trying to just copy what I see.

Made it to day two! Let me tell you..sometimes these aren't as easy as they look. The trick is finding the line of action, within about 2 seconds of beginning the drawing. Which can be thought of as an imaginary line representing the spine. Then quickly set the positions for the major body parts, the pelvis, torso and head, and so on.

Something I had in mind to sketch for today, I wasn't really expecting it really. If only more ideas flowed through me as this has, I would have a manga published already! :P

I haven't painted in a while, and I wanted to give it a try and see what I can do. I'm not completely sure this is completely finished, but I kind of like how it's turned out so far.

Drawing done for a mythological T-shirt design for Deviantart. I'm thinking of actually putting this on a t-shirt, I wonder if anyone would be interested.

These were completed for a project I'm doing along with other students in Pre-Production. So far it's been really nice working with others for a common goal. I've been gone for so long due to not even having internet after I recently moved. Then my hard-drive decided to die on me. So it's been quite crazy over the last few weeks. I hope to get fully back on track with the updates. More on this interesting project soon! :)

If you've been in any math class, I'm sure you'd remember the grid were you plot points, X coordinates go left and right, Y, goes up and down. Then, there's the Z, which goes toward and away from you. So the challenge of this project was to create the feeling of depth in an environment. As if you were traveling into it, I of course, opted to paint all of the visuals myself in photoshop for necessary practice, because I could have used images from the internet instead. I wanted to give the feeling of going into another world, from a room with a broken wall, into a lush forest which leads to temple deep within. I really like how this turned out, and I'd definitely use something like this in any animated series that I'd do, because it truly creates the feeling of depth in the environment. To push it even further, I could have animated elements layered and really broaden the horizons.
