Caterpillar and beetle girl

Putting a bit more time into their character design and thinking more about their personalities.

ParkBench Caterpillar

Amingo the Catcus

This started out as practise painting a green cactus..then it turned into my take of the Capcom character Amingo.(with one eye:) I love the Marvel vs Capcom Characters. I may visit some of them in this style in future.

Stranded

I had fun placing the pirates in the shade & dappled light under the palm tree.
I played around with sharp and soft contrastst keeping the background loose, more of a painterly look.

Pirate Line up

Red Pick up Truck

Yeti and girl

Desert Ranger

Witch Tree Home

Here's one i did for a CGMA assignment. We had to bring one of our color thumbnails to a finish. "As the witch returns home form her long journey..she finds that someone's moved in.."

Moon Bloom Girl

An exercise i did for a CGMA class- exposure for darks. I exaggerated the moons brightness to have that bright bloom effect. I dont usually paint more values in the dark areas thats why i had fun with this one. #Ryan Lang and #Tyson Murphy are both awesome color and light kings:D

The Knight family

This one i started out with the Templar Knight dad for an assignment focusing on silhouettes.
The dad was based of square shapes. I then added the mum (triangle shapes) and the son (round shapes)

Characters Line up

Characters for a card game i'm working on.

TinyAcres TitleScreen

TinyAcres TitleScreen

Here is a builder guy. I wanted to try a more sculpted stylised face.

Kids Line Up

Heres a kids line up i did for a character assignment.

Waitresses

Here are some waitresses i did for a character course with Stephen Silver. I had to base the women of three shapes - An apple, banana and a triangle. I thought it'd be fun to give them a German theme.

Dragon game

Some Characters and buildings i did for a dragon themed game i worked on.

Serpent joyride

Here is the World of Warcraft Tribute piece i did.
The book will be sent out soon so i'm excited to see other artist's
creative entries. I almost went with a tiger with this one but once
i saw the cool flying serpents in w.o.w i had to go with that.

Shape Monsters

Here are some monsters i did for a character course that i'm doing with Nate Wragg. The goal was to create monsters out of simple shapes.

Tree Panda and Forrest Sprite

Zelda Tribute

My Zelda tribute. Based of the Wind Waker game. There was always a sense of peace and maybe a little crush when Link would finally meet up with Princess Zelda.

Yellow Jacket

Hail, rain or sunshine Yellow Jacket Express always delivers..eventually.

This one was for a group blog, the theme was - Yellow Jacket.

Bubble Dragon

The Large but friendly Dragon slowly emerges when the panpipes start playing.
Countless bubbles are spat out the red bubble pot plants when the music plays.
The dragon enjoys this, he hums along and pops the bubbles on his nose.

Pet Fair the game

Here's What ive been working on lately. Pet Fair and Little Dragons app for ipod and ipad.

Check it out if you like the art:)

Kids - TV animation series pitch

Heres a 3 kids i designed for a TV animated pitch i did for Liquid Animation. I was aksed to come up with a different look to other tv animated kids. I gave them Big heads, big hands, slim limbs and longish necks..appealing?hmmm dunno yet. Straights vs curves is also something i tried to incorporate in their design, specially around the head area. Maybe one day these guys will be animated:)

Groovy Gal & Fluff Dog

For a change i wanted to do a graphic style pinup girl with a red-orange palette. I guess im trying to challenge myself to draw more stylised anatomy..more characters..its good practise. Definately gotta practise more on my characters and develope a style of my own eventually.

Forrest Bunyip - Speed Paint

This one started out a speedpaint. I liked the colors so i touched it up and added a character. I made him a bunyip( The Australian version of a bigfoot i guess) and a mystcial butterfly...who doesn't like glowy insects:b will he catch it..will he let it perch on his finger or will he gulp it down?

MegaMan Tribute

Well it turns out that i did make it into the Udon's Megaman tribute book after all:D I'm excited to see the finished book with all the other entries. I was also fortunate enough to have my 'making of ' this piece in the Magazine C.GArena (Vol. 6 issue2. If you want to check it out.)

The title for this one - 'After a hard day's work'. I wanted to add more ware and tare to the characters, more evidence that they just had been on a difficult mission and now they were going home. I'll prob go back and add that in the near future.
