I've got some longer term projects and can't show progress for any of that any time soon. I'll try to update with sketches and personal work, when I have the time. Here's some stuff to show quickly-

For Rite (Sorry Steve, I knew it I was just typing fast) publishing's Pathways E-zine

Chapter 13 is coming out with a new publication Tales From the Fallen Empire. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work on a cover image.

Be sure to check out their preview of the product on their website: http://www.chapter13press.com/news/?p=115

Can't show everything, but I can show these:

Might do a few things to it before I stick it in my portfolio, but pretty happy with it.

Here's some stuff for Rebel Ragdoll Press. They're cool with me showing my work, but I'm not sure about WIPs, so I'll just post what's done with.

Corel Painter 12 is actually fun to draw in digitally. The velocity pen feel SO real...

Whatever, it's done and I can show it. Working on my multi figure compositions.

I'm doing some stuff I can show when NDA goes away, but this one here's for fun.

2011-08-25T17:40:00.000-07:00

aaaaaannnndd..... STILL not done with it.

2011-08-20T01:14:00.001-07:00

Almost there...

2011-08-19T21:53:00.000-07:00

Here's stuff I can show. Working on all of it a little at a time (the demons from before, finishing them up). Portfolio enhancers or not? Can't wait to take the Beholder image a little further.

2011-07-28T20:46:00.001-07:00

DONE

2011-07-27T10:09:00.001-07:00

almost done with her

2011-07-25T12:40:00.001-07:00

I know I know. I need to update more.

2011-07-14T15:23:00.000-07:00

I always forget to update this, so it gets less progress shots.

Jersey Devil Anyone?

2011-05-07T23:49:00.000-07:00

Oh man, been working a ton. That old lady looked really funny, so I made her look more "normal". She's also become sort of a good guy... at least in the sense that you're supposed to sympathize with her?

Donesies. What did we learn here? Solidify your DAMN DRAWING BEFORE YOU PAINT.

2011-04-10T01:54:00.003-07:00

Ok, one more session to go before work tomorrow, then I'm submitting. Nighty night.

2011-04-07T22:30:00.001-07:00

For the ultimate fighter thing over at Artorder.

2011-04-06T22:03:00.001-07:00

donesies, at least for this concept

I'm calling it the QTP9000, haha.

Meant for fairly straight travel on pre-planned roads, so we kept the design sleek and fairly thin so it can dock with other units to be used as like a multi-vehicle (the wheel in the back goes up- I'll be doing more refined sketches of all of this). Here's the rough ortho. Now I've got a buddy who's gonna model it out, using this rough and then we'll assess where the design is going. Collaborations are fun.

2011-03-27T23:23:00.000-07:00

I think we're going with something along the lines of #5, first image posted.

Of course I'll likely wind up doing another 2 or 3 pages of variations, but we've got the basic idea down now.

This vehicle works as a personal transport, but also works in unison with other parts. The modular design incorporated by future-man allows this to join with a flying apparatus to become like a plane, seamlessly attach to a trailer for hauling of supplies, bus people around in larger transportation attachments, etc. The wheel in the back (there are only 3 wheels) goes into the body, like a plane's landing gear. I think sketches of the attachments will make this concept make more sense to those who don't get it with words.

An alien plant.

Face is still skewed when I flip it. I'm gonna do another "session" with it, then she'll be done. I'm rusty, but this is a good way to get back into it after vacation.

2011-03-20T10:32:00.001-07:00

2011-03-17T17:29:00.000-07:00

I was on vacation all last week, forgot to post this. I'll be putting up more new work soon, as I'm eager and willing to continue work on this project. Full speed ahead and all of that.

2011-03-11T12:33:00.001-08:00

Upping the date.

Reaching into his pocket for some death dust!

2011-03-08T22:58:00.001-08:00

How does this look on other people's screen? I'm trying to do that very dark/light thing, but I hope everyone can see some hint of reflected light in the shadow.

2011-03-07T12:27:00.000-08:00

can't upload gifs, and can't figure out how to delete posts...

2011-03-07T10:15:00.001-08:00

2011-03-02T14:55:00.001-08:00

OK MOVING ON AT THE MOMENT. Might come back. Might just use this as a learning experience.

2011-02-28T08:58:00.000-08:00

So, yeah. Thanks to Des Hanley a bunch for some compositional advice and such. getting there...

2011-02-25T11:45:00.001-08:00

And no one mentioned anything about the tusks! I woke up and realized they sucked. Still working...

2011-02-25T08:22:00.000-08:00

These characters are done, but the Mammoth still has a lot of fight left in it.

Dude. he's gonna get stomped!

Been doing non-paying work for a company that seems to have it's ducks in a row. Lots of fun.

Done guy's head might be too big.

Boom-Sha-ka-la-ka.

2011-02-11T08:49:00.001-08:00

Haven't been feeling awesome lately. Must not get sick.

2011-02-08T10:28:00.000-08:00

If you've been checking this out, sorry. I haven't been exactly keeping this puppy up-to-date. In a link, two posts below is my conceptart.org sketchbook. That's where EVERYTHING goes. Blogger only lets me upload 5 images at once... so say I do 4 pages of gestures then I've only got room for ONE more image before I have to make another post.

Oh well, here's a variety of what I'm doing, but not even the surface of it.

2011-01-25T18:22:00.001-08:00

So I'm starting up on new pieces again. Got some progress of the crowning of Emod, first king of Bura-Gor.

Yep, back to this old ball and chain. They posted backwards, oopsie daisy.

2011-01-24T19:35:00.001-08:00

Hey all. If you're looking at this and wondering why I haven't updated in a while... it's really because I forgot to post here. Most of my stuff goes into my conceptart.org sketchbook, which is here:

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=131980

I'm in a building stage right now, so sorry for the delays. I just didn't feel like posting a bajillion "learning experiences".

2010-12-22T22:59:00.001-08:00

Done, at least for now.

2010-12-22T11:06:00.000-08:00

My brother better love this....

2010-12-19T17:48:00.000-08:00

Whew. I have way more studies than I can post this time, so here are some painting progression for two of three pieces to be finished before Christmas. Family gifts- I hope they don't look at it. I don't think they will.

And, for the sketches below I'd really like to thank professional wrestler, Batista... for walking like a badass.

Some folks over at Conceptart.org convinced me to re-work my cyclops (plus I convinced myself). It wasn't going anywhere and I was in a slump because of it. I'd lost a challenge twice that I'd put on myself twice. So, this time I'm still not giving up, but I'm thinking about things BEFORE I start painting, not while. The last one was just not working for me... and if I'd finished it I would have put it in my portfolio- I don't think it was good enough anyway.

So, here (and the post below) are the re-workings of my cyclops piece.

2010-12-03T17:55:00.000-08:00

I've got one more to post, so I'll put my comments up top.

2010-11-30T16:33:00.000-08:00

2010-11-23T21:35:00.000-08:00

Not working (at work) as much. Working on art more.

2010-11-22T23:16:00.001-08:00

Must Update Must Update...

2010-11-10T23:39:00.000-08:00

Working MUUUUUCH. Speed paint:

2010-11-08T18:51:00.000-08:00

Good God I'm working a ton. I'm working so many hours between two jobs right now. Here's an update on the old cyclops. Allie thought I was close earlier... haha. No way. This guy is gonna take a bit, and I've got such little time. MUST PAINT FASTER.

2010-10-22T09:18:00.001-07:00

For funsies. While I work on that silly cyclops.

2010-10-21T21:50:00.001-07:00

UP-DATE. Work in Progress!

2010-10-21T18:51:00.001-07:00

This isn't for Tim.

2010-10-18T13:57:00.000-07:00

For Tim.

2010-10-16T14:11:00.000-07:00

Yup. Gonna go for the gold with it. Current progress:

2010-10-14T14:32:00.000-07:00

And another cyclops work in progress. This one will be better than the other ones...

It must be! I've been looking at the late Frazetta trying to understand how he does his separation of light and dark and his shadow shapes.

2010-10-13T14:01:00.000-07:00

Lots of day job work. I've been kind of lazy, too. Need to stop that!

2010-09-29T14:01:00.001-07:00

Snuck in some sketches. Well, two. Not using that space marine necessarily, but working on some preliminary stuff for a big space marine painting. Feet from Hogarth:

2010-09-27T20:51:00.002-07:00

Updating daily! Sweet. I'm gonna be honest- I'm gonna work like 44 hours in the next four days, so this won't necessarily continue.

Here's my work for the day.

2010-09-26T11:40:00.000-07:00

It's gonna happen.

2010-09-25T10:23:00.001-07:00

I really need to re-design my blog here. It looks really bad and if I'm going to be keeping up with it I need to figure out the settings available here.

2010-09-19T09:12:00.000-07:00

Getting ANOTHER job for a while and have a little less free time. I'm still trying to paint through it all. Nose to the grindstone.

2010-09-07T19:53:00.000-07:00

This is the done one I'm submitting. Posting it here to make sure it looks ok before I send it off.

2010-09-07T19:19:00.000-07:00

There yet?

2010-09-07T13:55:00.001-07:00

Updated for Tim's viewing. Almost there. Deadline is tonight, so I had better be.

2010-09-07T05:33:00.000-07:00

Thanks for what you've said Ally. haven't had time to implement it, yet. I really will try and work on that, as the switch between Painter and Photoshop has once again gotten my colors on hiatus. Aside from the color switches (as mentioned by Ally) this is what I'm going to render to finish.

2010-09-06T14:09:00.001-07:00

Updating often. I keep telling people to look and don't want them to look at the old one :)!

2010-09-05T23:45:00.001-07:00

Starting to make sense, I hope. Still stuff to paint... paint... paint...

2010-09-05T18:50:00.001-07:00

Update. Debating doing the raised hands in the background... I did it once but that painting won't be used again. This one has some sort of potential, I think... I'm still thinking about it. Comments?
