Wk11 final for my painting class. A complete utter failure in lighting and texture. The figures are not bad except for the (lack of) faces. I ran out of steam and time and this will be retired as a learning experience, never to be truly finished.

I painted this in two days at enormous size in Photoshop. It's for my social science class, a commentary on the lack of growth in tradition and ritual regarding the veneration of our ancestors and elders in contrast with the unchecked growth of medical technology. Increasing the length of life in neglect of its quality.

Fudger!!!

Spent all day trying to overcome creative-mega-block! Anyway.... stick with what ya know n stuff.

Heres two semi-old characters finding one another in the woods. This is probably not going to be my final layout or lighting or anything. I did many thumbs on many different subjects in different layouts and picked this one and this is the first lighting sketch i did so....yea.... whatever.

Working on a final composition for painting class right about now funk soul brotha. Heres a WIP shot of my OWLBEAR painting! The BEST Dungeons and Dragons monster for a level 1 party. Awesome!!! I remember back in the Mike and James days, playing dungeons in Daly City and my ninja decided to go solo and scope out a cave and provoke an owl bear and lure it outside and hide behind the paladin and take pot-shots once in a while until it was dead and the party was damn near close. They were not happy with that ninja let me tell you.

Anyway here's the picture. Wanna finish it later, add some more details into the owlbear and from there establish better lighting and environment and maybe some human victims for scale. Its a little different from the one pictured in the Monster Manual but it gets the "point" across. Hm hm hm! Puns.

Latest painting for class. Supposed to do a character. The background and the rest of the character was unfinished and pretty shitty. Banged this out from start to this in about 5 and a half hours. Not as fast or as good as I'd like to be. Next assignment is to do a creature so we'll see how that goes.

Midterms. I did this painting. Took probably around six hours not including snack and coffee breaks. Didn't really breakthrough into something viewable until the last 45 minutes. Not great but not monstrous.

A Real update


Im taking digital painting this quarter at AI-SF. Its pretty cool, so far we've done land and cityscapes and this week have moved on to interiors. Im looking forward to vehicles and characters. I think some things might get cut out of the syllabus on account of some students only wanting to be able to paint textures and not giving a real shit about knowing how to paint or expand their own illustrative styles which pisses me off. Anyway heres some of the stuff I've done so far that seems to be working.

Hey people. Im starting a new blog.
Its a lot less lame than Deviant-Art, which is mostly anime-dorks and emo-kids.

So I've never been real good at keeping journals or logs of any sort. Hopefully I can upload a new pic or two every week. Watch my progress and what not. Develop ideas and keep in touch with other artists...yada yada yada...anyway... lets figure out how to post a picture on this thingy. Well I guess that worked! Thats a crow monster that attacked me in a dream, well they're were two of them. Very scary.
