Yet another sketch page

Didn't have alot of time today to color up an image so I just scanned up a page out of my current sketchbook. Not much more to it than that. Enjoy.

Little Pirate

Don't let this guy's size fool you. He's one tough hombre. Most other pirates you see have a peg leg or a hook for a hand, or even an eye patch, but not this pirate, and you know why? Because he doesn't ever lose a fight, that's why. You should see the other pirates that cross his path. Not a pretty picture I assure you. Enjoy.

100 posts!

Wow a hundred posts. Sorry it took so long to get to a hundred. I've got no excuse except for laziness. Looks like I'm getting a bit more on track though doesn't it? This was a drawing I did today nad then quickly colored up. I'm having alot of fun putting more color on these images than just a flat wash. I've been doing this type of thing at work too and it's been really fun and really instructive. Hopefully all of my paintings will benifit from this practice. Enjoy.

Pig

I'm having a really good time painting these up. I'm pretty pleased with the results too. This is a pig I drew this morning. Don't know why. Sometimes you just gotta draw a pig. Enjoy.

Character Sketch

Here's a quick character sketch I did awhile ago. Had a bit of fun coloring it up.I've got a bit of catching up to do it seems. Enjoy.

SOOO COOOOOL!

Something got released on line today that I thought you all might be interested in. If you go to gametrailers.com you can find a movie trailer for the game I worked on. It's not so much a trailer as an intro into the game. When you start playing this movie pops up to get you up to speed on who you are and what's happening. I think it's pretty funny. What do you all think?

Here's the link. http://gametrailers.com/player/21163.html

Enjoy.

More bellhop.

Ok well here's some more of that skeleton bellhop that I did last week. Spent a bit more time coloring him and I have taken away the pencil lines so it's all painted now. I usually fall back on the pencil lines as a crutch and so we'll see what I can do with this thing now. Enjoy.

Ghoulie

Sorry about another week without updating. I took another week vacation for a family reunion. It was alot of fun to just get out and break away from my normal routine and set up a new routine of swimming with my kids and basically playing all day long. I can get used to that. I did do some drawing while I was away and I'll start posting some more of those sketches here. For now I'll post one I did this morning at work. Don't know why I felt like drawing this guy. He is the product of another work meeting where I just start drawing and I'm not sure myself what will happen. I quite enjoy doing these. It's nice to just draw without any agenda before hand. Enjoy.

Skeleton Bellhop Now In SKELOCOLOR!

Decided to color this guy up a little bit. I've been very lax about doing any color work and I really need to remedy that. I also need to work on my painting skills in general so this will be good for me. Anyway, I plan on spending a bit more time on this guy so we'll see where it goes. I've also decided he needs a name. So any suggestions any of you all might have please let me know. Enjoy.

p.s. Spent about 15 minutes coloring so far. Let's keep track shall we.

Skeleton Bellhop

Hey ya'll! Ok, I'm going to try and do better about updating this thing. So for now I'll just give you a quick sketch I did of a skeleton bellhop. Had some fun with it, and I just love the skeleton. He reminds me of the mexican day of the dead stuff that I think is so cool. I'm not really sure what hotel this guy works at or if you would even want to stay there given who they hire, but I've heard that this bellhop is pretty nice. He's not too chatty and he always provides service with a smile. Plus I've heard that if you don't tip the vampires working at this particular estabolishment, they bite your neck and suck out your blood. Skeletons are a much better way to go in my opinion. Enjoy.

Obaday

Wow, sorry it's been almost a month. Just laziness on my part. Sorry. This is one from my sketchbook. He's a character in a book I just read. He wasn't the main character or anything but I thought that a character witha pin cushion head and clothes made out of pages of books seemed pretty interesting. Enjoy.

New Sketchbook

Hey ya'll! I just got a couple of new sketchbooks. I've been hearing about these moleskin sketchbooks for awhile now and decided to see what all the fuss was about so I ordered a couple of them off of amazon. So far I'm liking it quite a bit. The paper is really thick which I like. I'm going to start throwing some watercolor on some of the sketches and I think this paper can handle that pretty well. It's a little smaller than I'm used to but that's ok. It's nice to have something very travel sized. Anywho this is just a random assortment of stuff from the new sketchbook. Enjoy.

Meeting Sketches and Warmups

I've been so crazy lately that I just haven't kept up on posting here on my blog and I've accumulated quite a few sketches from my morning meetings and warm up sketches as well. I decided to just dump them all on you. Enjoy.

Shark boy

This is a project I have been excited about for a long time now. A couple of years back I found a website called The Monster Engine (at www.themonsterengine.com oddly enough) and at the site you can see pictures that young kids have drawn and then the artist has taken them and painted them as beautifully as he can. The end result is just gorgeous and alot of fun. Right then and there I said to myself that when my own kids were at that stage to do a recognizable drawing I would paint it up. Well my son has gotten to tthat stage and drew up this picture of Shark Boy (fromt he movie "Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3D" which he is totally in love with) and I snatched up his drawing and painted it. I had so much fun doing this. It was a hoot to paint a drawing with shapes I never would have drawn. I still have my sons original drawing and I'm going to get a frame that I can put both his drawing and then my painting in together. Anyway, that's the long way of saying I took my son's drawing and had fun painting it myself. Enjoy.

It's a bear

It's a bear. Really not much more to it than that. Enjoy.

Lion Lad

As promised yesterday here is Lion Lad, Hyena Man's sidekick. Whenever Hyena man saves someone they always think it was Lion Lad that did the saving, after all, he's a lion right. Hyenas are just scavengers, right? I think I need an innocent weasel who always gets blamed for the crimes now. What do you think? Enjoy.

Again

Well I spent a bit more time on this guy. I'm having fun with it so far. It's hard for me sometimes to break away from a loose sketch and try and make something a bit more finished and refined. So this is good practice. I'll keep going on this one for awhile and we'll see what happens. enjoy.

Hero Hyena

This was a fun idea I had a couple weeks ago. My wife is a die hard fan of animal planet and she was watching a show about hyenas. There was a guy speaking about how hyenas have a bad rap and everyone looks at lions as these noble creatures and hyenas as mangy scavengers. He was trying to get people to change their opinions on these animals. That's when I came up with the idea of a hero who is a hyena (and very good at it by the way) but whenever he saves anyone they always thank his dorky lion sidekick, because, well the hyena can't have been the one that saved me. it must have been the noble lion. So here is our hero. Tomorrow I'll post up the lion sidekick. Enjoy.

Let's try this again.

Ok. I've been out of it for awhile now. It's not that I haven't been drawing or any of that. It's just that I've been lazy and haven't been posting any of it. So with out further ado here's something new for ya'll. I really rather like this sketch so I think I'm going to tinker with the colors on it a bit more. I just felt like drawing one of those hindu gods with all the arms and such. They're so cool. I have another one of Ganesha that I'll put up soon as well. For now Enjoy.

Skeleton Sketch

This is a sketch I did yesterday. I just drew a scribble on my piece of paper and looked at it until something came to me. It turned into a skeleton. That happens alot. Go figure. Enjoy.
