digital painting

Brushing up on my digital painting skills and made this character. Metal reflection isn't the dopest but I'm pretty happy with the way the piece turned out overall. The is my first attempt at digital painting.

more illustrator

I really like Illustrator. I've made a couple of different cool pieces. I finished my pig sheriff a little while ago and I really like the way it turned out. Here's something new I'm working on.

illustrator character

I've been trying to pick up Illustrator, Flash and 3DS Max. So many programs to learn, so little time. This is a little taste of what I'm working on in Illustrator. It's a pig sheriff I drew a while back. There's a lot of great Illustrator tutorials on this dudes youtube page.

I've learned a ton of 3DS Max with this dudes tutorials too.

Not done yet. 20 percent-ish. I'm liking Illustrator so far.

russian city

I've been working on some Russian city with Stalinist type architecture. I like how the snow is looking so far. I'm working on a tram car with a full interior and a bunch of other props to populate the scene.

lin fung temple environment

Trying to bust out another environment before graduation. In this project, I'm primarily trying to use a lot tiling textures textures in smart and efficient ways. I'm also thinking of using like a grand total of one 1024x1024 texture sheet for all assets. Maybe I'll change that though as I progress.

desert update

I've been working on finishing my desert environment so I can present it in my demo reel. I've made a lot of updates and changes to it in the past few weeks. I think I'm almost done with it now. I really do like the way it's turning out. One thing that's bothering me is that it's all yellows and oranges and brown. A nice complementary color like some sort blue or a deep red would really help the scene out and make it pop. I'm thinking of having a nice royal blue flag hanging on one of those pillar structures. I wonder if that would be historically accurate though...?

Also, I need more foliage models and textures. The ground needs to look more thick with bushes and grass and stuff.

website under construction

I'm working on an official fancy pants website for my portfolio work and portfolio class. Take a look.

Wix is a pretty dope website creator. I think I'm going to buy www.standardgamecompany.com and point it to my portfolio site. It's only like 9 bucks for a year.
