And now for something completely different - 3D!

Here is my one and only foray into 3D art for videogames. These were done as a test when I applied to Three Rings, over two years ago. At the time they thought they might be hiring me to work on Bang! Howdy, (now defunct) and I would have been doing lots of modeling and texturing. It was a western-themed game and I made this fun low-poly train as a set piece. It was never used for anything, and I think it was the last time I really touched Maya! Maybe I will post the character design test I did for them as well.

Terrible Yellow Eyes

Here is my contribution to Terrible Yellow Eyes, a tribute site to Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are." This was a lot of fun to paint.


I've also uploaded a desktop wallpaper version of this piece to Flickr.

Here is some process on the piece:

 
 
  
As you can see I change my mind alot when painting. I'm constantly trying different colors, shapes, poses, etc. Sometimes the whole thing can get so muddled that I will open up my original sketch file just to make sure I've still got the essence of my original drawing.

Maker Faire!

Hi Folks, just wanted to put up a quick note about Maker Faire. If you are in the SF Bay Area this weekend, it's an event not to be missed! If you've never been before, it's an awesome mix of art, technology, DIY, steampunk, and general eccentricty. Brittney and I will be selling our art wares in the Bizarre Bazaar all weekend. I will have the usual prints, buttons, originals, cards, etc...along with some awesome "Sustainable Sketchbooks" that are handmade, recycled, and have original handpainted art on the covers! Hope to see lots of folks there!

Seattle Sketchbook

Took a short trip to Seattle last weekend and had a blast. What a great city! Delicious food, cool architecture, beautiful parks, tons of dogs. What more could you ask for? I had time to do a bunch of sketches. Check em out!

Metamorphica Part 3: Some Inks

Here's the last batch of pics from Metamorphica. I used my awesome new brush pen that I am in love with.

 
They did a cool improv bit with a mask.
  
She looks like a creepy doll.
  
I liked this big stick thing they had as a prop.
