Replicas from Disney

2009-07-15T23:09:00.000-07:00

Had some free time today, so got in 2 quick studies from the book "Dream Worlds." My goal was to capture the mood of the pieces and maintain the simplicity.

This is how I recline

Art Show at CSUF

2009-04-26T11:35:00.000-07:00

I recently had an art show at CSUF with fellow artist Brandon Franco. It was a great event and my thanks to everyone who came out to support us. Here are some shots from the show and some pieces I had in it.

Orange Puffmonster

2009-03-07T17:24:00.000-08:00

I made the background with acrylic while I was experimenting with textures, and decided to have a little fun with it.

Texture Time!!

2009-03-07T16:15:00.001-08:00

Here are a couple of texture studies, both in acrylic.

matte painting 4

2009-01-08T22:35:00.001-08:00

This is my first matte painting where I attempted to paint everything extra in the image. So the background is from a photo, and the castle I painted in Photoshop. Any suggestions/feedback would be really helpful! Thanks!

Car Wreck Composite

2008-12-02T01:26:00.001-08:00

Here's some more compositing practice. There are too many photos to put up that I referenced from, but these are the ones I started with.

Twilight Horses

2008-11-19T20:46:00.001-08:00

Here's some compositing practice. The bottom images are my originals I grabbed from.

Ruth's Story

2008-11-09T12:40:00.001-08:00

Here's an image from a story sequence I illustrated for my church. Its sort of a contemporary retelling of the story of Ruth. The photo I just grabbed from google image search, and the drawing was done in flash.

Animation Work

2008-09-25T21:33:00.000-07:00

It's been a little while, I've been extra busy now that school has started and I'm interning again too. But here's a little bit of progress in my animating. This shot is part of my final animation that I'm working on for class. The first clip is what I turned in and the second is a work in progress, with revisions from my in-class critique. If anyone else has more suggestions I would really appreciate it, because in terms of animating, I still have a LOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go.

my current state

2008-08-12T00:46:00.001-07:00

here's the beginnings of a new painting. more to come later!

landscape painting

2008-07-17T23:32:00.000-07:00

Inspired by work from the Art of Wall-E book.

Apple #7

2008-07-02T23:26:00.000-07:00

This one was done with the colored pencil tool in Painter. It was difficult to work with as I don't feel they behave like real colored pencils. However, I like the texture they produce.

Cubic Apple

2008-07-02T22:37:00.000-07:00

why have a boring regular apple when you can have one of these??? :)

Third painting finished, for now....

2008-07-02T21:09:00.001-07:00

Here's the third painting finished for tomorrow. I would still like to go back and rework certain areas, but it will have to do for now. I am having difficulty with the colors due to switching between the macs at school, my dell laptop, and the desktop that I print off of. It's more inconvenient than anything, so hopefully in the future I'll have a more consistent setup that I can work of off.

Final Painting

2008-06-25T18:14:00.001-07:00

Here's what I've got started for my last painting for my class. The assignment is pretty open-ended, we just have to depict action. Comments/suggestions are welcomed!

Character Painting revised

2008-06-20T17:51:00.000-07:00

So I went back and revised my painting after receiving some very helpful feedback. I enlarged the chair and pushed it back farther, and adjusted a few other details. So hopefully these things improved it a little bit more. Thank you everyone for all of your help, I really appreciate it. If anyone else has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

Character Painting FIN

2008-06-19T23:36:00.001-07:00

Here's the finished painting of the cowboy. He's changed a little from his original design, but I think it was for the better. I tried to be "looser" with this one, in terms of my execution, because I didn't like how stiff my environment painting turned out. Any comments/feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Character Painting

2008-06-18T22:19:00.001-07:00

Here's my second assignment which is a character painting. I decided to choose the lawman/cowboy category. Here's the painting in one of its early stages.

Quick Concept Art

Here's a quickie I squeezed in before leaving for work.

Environment Study Completed

2008-06-12T00:11:00.000-07:00

Here's how my environment project turned out. One thing I would definitely change is the composition, but it was a great learning experience.

Environment Study

Here's the beginnings of my environment study.

Apple #5 Oils

2008-06-04T15:45:00.000-07:00

Here's my 5th apple study, this one was done with oil paints. I have temporarily stopped doing apples and I have to start my other assignment now, which is an environment. But never fear, there will be at least 3 more apples to come, for all you fruit lovers. ;)

4th Apple Study

2008-06-03T22:31:00.000-07:00

Here's my 4th apple study. This one was done with digital water. Except the highlights were airbrushed, b/c I messed up. :P

Apple 3 Pastel

2008-06-01T23:18:00.001-07:00

Here's my third apple study in Painter, this one was done entirely with Pastels. Any comments/feedback on how I can improve it are greatly appreciated!

2nd Apple

2008-05-29T22:09:00.001-07:00

Here's my 2nd apple, this one was done with Acrylic brushes.

Also, after comparing the acrylic apple to the airbrushed apple, I decided to try and give the airbrushed one more volume. This apple was problematic for me because a number of reasons, but mainly because when I started it the light source was very even due to the classroom's fluorescent lights. I think my adjustments helped a little, but I lost some of the detail.

Learning Painter

2008-05-29T19:49:00.001-07:00

I'm taking a Digital Illustration class this summer, and we are learning Painter. We have the apple exercises, and here's my first attempt at it. This first one is done with all airbrush tools.

Please leave me feedback or any tips you might have, because I really want to get better with this program. Thanks so much!

Perfect Circles

2008-05-24T17:20:00.000-07:00

I was experimenting with my new rapidograph pens that I just got, just trying to feel out how they work. Here's a doodle, colored in photoshop.

Black Canary Sculpt FINAL

2008-05-21T23:33:00.001-07:00

Here is the Black Canary Sculpt in its completion. It went through some final sanding and a layer of primer. This is my third attempt sculpting, and every time I have learned something new going through the process. My Stitch sculpt will be sanded as well, and then I am going to move on to something new in hopes of learning and improving even more.

Black Canary Sculpt CONTINUED

here's how she looked before the bake.

I plan on smoothing her out more,if the baking goes well.

Here are shots from an environment I built in Maya.

Dialogue Test

2008-05-03T13:03:00.000-07:00

Here is my dialogue test that I made for class. I'm still not completely satisfied with animation, and would like to eventually put in a background, however do to time constraints, it will have to do for now. Any suggestions/comments are welcomed.

Animation done in Flash
Dialogue clip taken from "Over the Hedge"

Exit Gallery Installation

2008-04-09T17:27:00.001-07:00

Here's a photo I took of a really neat installation on campus. It was basically a room filled with hanging plastic with lights shining down, and a voice recording playing within the room.

Stitch is done! :D

2008-04-07T23:08:00.001-07:00

I finished Stitch tonight, and he is now baking in the oven.

I hope he survives his bake! :O
