A little sketch exercise from observation.  Just stuff I needed to do daily to keep loosening up on things like gestures and forms.  Some hit and miss.

A piece done for Chiu Stream contest.  The theme for it is "Frankenstein".  Lots of great entry on this one.  The winner for this receives a Mike Mignola original sketch.  Great comic artist, popular for hellboy.  Every week Bobby Chiu holds a contest and invites a guest artist for interview.  A great opportunity for these weekly contest is that you at least participated, have fun, and of course build up on your work.  Happy Holloween!!

I went back to some of the early concepts of the first creature that was posted back when I started this post and painted up two of the leg concepts I worked on.  These two design did not make it into the final character, but I enjoyed so much just painting it up.

This is a model sheet I did of a muscle anatomy for a rat warrior I worked with for my 3D modeler Artist John Varner to construct and model.  We went through many phases of design especially to see what works and what didn't before we decided to build this character.  The muscle was a main concern of this character for it's look in terms of the design outcome.

Crusade

This is a piece I did for a client some months ago.  The idea was a crusade type outfit and for a female.  I wanted to give it a different look than the typical Joan of Arc.  A lot were mixed traditional and digital work.  Not sure if I like the stance on this rock thing but the client was pleased with it.

Like Father, Like Son

Another one of them fun sketches randomly picked from my mini sketchbook.  Since they looked almost frankenstein like I edited them together and gave this piece it's name.

sketchbook 1

Been so long since I've been in here and thought it's time I should put something up.  This is a doodle page, one of many that I get so hung up with the gritty details and the nonsense rendering.  But still a good exercise with it, after all what are sketchbooks for.  More to come, enjoy!
