Creature concepts

Been a while since I posted anything, so here's some background characters I've been working on.

Some quick concept sketches for an upcoming project

Here is the background with the on-screen assets

2D side scroller level

Here's a section of a background I've done for a 2D sci-fi scroller:

Here's the full image (rotated sideways for scale):

Cave Man cycle

A run cycle for a 2d cave-man character. Going to try and do an entire series of assets for this character.

Bastian & Rocky

My 2 cats.

RKA Finished

Zero-K Battle Scene

Here's another one from the open-source rts game Zero-K. I wanted to do one with a full background.

Finally finished

Finally finished this one... it took way too long to complete. I worked on it in stages taking unreasonably long breaks in between. Well, enjoy.

Steampunk Sally

I finally finished up this one...

Starting a new painting

I'm trying a different approach with this one. I'm starting in black and white so I don't become too distracted by vibrant or badly placed colors. Now that I'm about half way there, I'm going to switch to colors. This way the painting won't have that metallic shine that a lot of black and white paintings do that are colored at a late stage.

Sci Fi Female Concept Finished

Finished up this one. On to the next one :D

Finished another one!

Special thanks to PIXELovely for the gesture drawing tool (http://www.pixelovely.com/gesture/) which was used for the last illustration as well as this one... and probably many more to come :)

Yay! I Arted!

A few more poses for Amelia

Well I've decided on a name for this character... Amelia (obviously ;-) ). Here's some fun action poses:

Different poses

Having started at my new job, I've been off the cintiq for a while now... but here is a set of poses for the girl character I've been working with lately.

(also, the new job has been great so far)

Backpack pencil test

Experimenting with heavy inanimate objects...

Rough plummer sketches

Some quick scribbles of a plummer character

More progress on dance sequence

Here's another rough pass of the dance sequence animation.

Dance rough test

It's been quite a while since my last post. I've had a few false starts for other animation tests, as well as a small side project come in. I have made some progress on a leica reel (or basically a very very rough pencil test) for my Goober character dancing. I'm hoping to flesh out these sequences and get it cleaned up so I can have some good animation to show off. Enjoy.
