weird dreams of late

Uncharted Redesign

So my past couple of images is an Uncharted Redesign that I am working on. There is no reason for it. I just love the game and wanted to try my own take on it.

Ne ways enjoy. There is more to come. I have few more concepts to do then Drake will move on to a different part of the world. I am thinking Egypt!

Building Blox

Trying out new things. Game on!

I will be at comicon next week who's going? If you are I wanna meet you! : )

Lumaris Comission

Our Corgi Loves Hills

Should be handling freelance , but have been enjoying the more bright side of environments. Me Stef and our imaginary corgi chillin in the hills : )

For Stefanie

So Goro Fujita is my new favorite artist at the moment , should definitely check out his work (http://chapter-56.blogspot.com/) its friggin pimp !! ne ways his color inspired me to paint something for stef. She is the best!!!

Environment Tutorial

My friend Dan wanted me to do a quick tutorial about how I go about environments and this what I came up with , I will post the process with all layers in the near future , never really done any demos before so it was a fun experience. Thanx for looking

Enviro Test

trying to explore some new ways of painting , starting with photographic plate then painting on top of that with some custom brushes here and there and exploring new approaches. Any ways on to the next one

Plein Air

Referenced from the nice mountains in Irvine behind my work . Recently took some pictures at the new great O.C Park opening up just down the street from my studio, its pretty cool to take pictures and what not. They even have chess tables set-up . This was a simple painting based off my experience there! Thanx for looking

Lunch Break

Had a huge artist block of recent , definitely stressing me out and making think about things . Thanx to all who take time out to listen and give me advice. Here is a warmup painting I start before work and finished up afterward.

not really a character guy but id like to think so in my head lol
thanx for looking

Path to Transformation

Been trying to approach painting and life from a new perspective. Not sure what it all means yet , but I am doing what I can. In the meantime here is a warm up painting I started yesterday . I am trying to enjoy the journey more than the end product, and practicing having more confidence in my abilities.

thanx for looking

Desert Spaceship

Still studying how to paint vehicles and what not , and taking images to a rendered finish , luckily i sketched most of this out so it made it easier while painting it , look at tatooine in terms of colors. Thanx for looking!

I will post my process one of these days for those who are curious!

CDA Environemnts

This was some more high concept ish from my class. I will upload more of it later!

Caladan Close Up

So here is my close up shot of Caladan. One thing I learn from Jackson was keeping things in mind in terms of shooting a film. Though the big shape reads nicely as a first read , I would have to think of putting things that would be visually interesting so when I shoot from ground level I don't just see a big white wall.

So I am learning a good deal from cda class , friggin badass people in there! Peter Lee is in there!!!! dude is sooo good. Ne ways its halloween I should be doing something lol

Caladan Est. Shot

Here is my iteration on the establishing shot. I did a bunch of crappy sketches and paintings and this was the one I came to . Again sorry for the crappy post last week :) . I will try to redesign my far out shot along with my up-close shot

NOM NOM?

this picture is hilarious to me iono why lol. Ne ways i was doing sketches for a friends possible iphone game idea. It didn't fall through but I remember liking some of the sketches I did. So I ended up taking one and just started painting on it.

lolol.................

Edgar Payne Studies

Been studying a lot of his work and reading his book . Learning a good deal . I will try to keep up with these studies : ) . Took me about an hour , trying to become more comfortable with my color choices

The Arrival

Haven't painted as much as I'd like due to work. So I am trying to get back into the groove of things. Gotta re-inspired by peeps like Charest , Steambot, and Chadeisson . Also that shadow of the Colossus game. Any ways it took me about two days on and off. Starting to get a better grasp of my process.

Other than that I am trying to get into the cda environment class since Jackson Sze is teaching he is like one of my favorite artist so hopefully I can get in there as well. Other than that just trying to get better at art and being disciplined in all aspects of my life (ie praticing, listening, physical and mental stability all that fun stuff)

Well I have rambled too much. OFF TO SKETCH GROUP!!!

Taking things further

So painting started off as a simple edgar payne type study. Totally did not that end that way . What started out as a horizontal shot turned into a vertical shot . Jason told me to make it vertical then Dan kept telling me to take it all the way into space lol . So what was supposed to be small became this large ass painting. I took screenshots of all the detail lol.

On a side note I took Nathan Fowkes workshop this saturday. It was amazing. I am going to buy paints today so I can start practicing my painting and composition skills every night!

Speed Paint_The Vault

haven't done speed paints in a long time . I forgot much fun they can be. Trying to make it a habit to post more . Work keeps me busy . It is probably a good thing
