Development Work

This project didn't seem to get any traction and it's been a long while that i've been holding on to this. I think it's a good time to throw in a little bit of colored work here. This was part of a Moon Girl pitch, taking a stab of what our heroine's layer might look like.

Brushwork experiments

I definitely don't do enough brushwork in my art, something i need to explore more aggressively...

Whaaaaaaaaa...

Not sure i have a better title for this at the moment.

Design Process

Having currently spent most of my career in TV animation now, i realize these processes of developing ideas from blue sky to something finished is getting pretty rare for me. Ironically, i got to do it instructing a Prop Design class for CGMA a little while back. Even though designers in the trench tend to skip, or at least, breeze through this process, i strongly feel it's important for everyone to be able to hit design targets. It doesn't really matter how it comes together, in the end, it just needs to be cohesive and comprehensible. This series wasn't necessarily industry specific, it's simply a walk through from idea, to inspiration, exploration, rendition, and finally if someone needs to make it, orthographic. Everyone should have the ability to carry out a design from the beginning to end. I suppose if you can't, you don't really get to complain about how it was "interpreted." ;)

That one time i got to develop something for a little bit.

This was early on in my career at Supervillain Studios. As time has moved along, i realized i seldom ever had the chance to throw a few ideas around before taking it further down a development path. This guy was designated in-house as the "Stryder," but i prefer in the end, calling him "Chubbles." Basically, a flying sac fish that these Hamster guys travel on. One of the funnest times in my career for sure, and back when i drew on paper! Oh, and the Citadel. Chubbles gots to go somewhere. Wasn't terribly happy with a bunch of other sketches i did, but this one is still a gem to me.

Rockabilly.

My Buddy Dom Aiken is composing/ recording a new Rockabilly themed album. I thought i'd help him out with an album cover for it. My first pinup!

The Macross project begins...

These are the first in a series i plan to flush out. I just don't see a whole lotta folks attack the subject matter yet, so i thought i'd give it a go! i definitely still have some plans for both these guys, so these are still a work in progress.

Mecha!

For a car design guy in the school days, i don't have a whole lotta robots in the portfolio...
