Patoot Stylings

I thought I’d try doing some super-deformed (SD) people. Speaking of which, I hope that one day there’ll be a new Viewtiful Joe game! Maybe him being in Marvel VS Capcom 3 will help boost his popularity and Capcom will soon decide to work on a new V.Joe game!

Work in Progress “RUN”

Here’s a tightly cropped snippet of what I’m working on at home. Nothing’s really lit, yet. I’ve just been working on the expressions and gestures (I’m sure I’ll still be tweaking these sorts of things until the end). Oh, and character next to the guy won’t be gaussian blur’d once the image is done (haha)

Pickup

I wanted to take a quick break from the stuff I’ve been working on and do a bit of a fun piece. I think most people who see my work don’t think of me as a “creature” guy, but I love mucking around with creatures! Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the tiny update.

Destination 1

Been noodling at this over the past few weekends. I’m kind of tired of it, but I learned a few new things from it! I just wish I gave the guy a more dynamic pose. Next time.

Weekend Arting

Some thing I’ve been toying around with over the weekend! Hoping to get more done throughout the week!

Thumbnails for images I want to work on. The theme is “Destination”. Same character(s), different parts of a singular environment, different palletes.



Here’s the WIP for the first image. The colors are partially inspired by “Enslaved”. I really like some of the color choices they used in some of the stages.

First time messing around with Sculptris. Pretty fun stuff, so far!

“the Road” Screencap Study

Another study from another beautiful film. There were a bunch of parts from “The Road” that I wanted to try to reproduce, but I really liked the mood and the lighting of this one. It was a bit tricky trying to capture the complexity and density of all the set dressing, so I tried simplifying some areas. Once again, the composition and the colors are off. I could have spent some more time tweaking it, but I wanted to get some sleep

“Sunshine” Screencap Study

I’m going to start doing some screencap studies from now on. I think it’s an excellent way to brush up on just about every skillset an illustrator needs. For me, I’m trying to improve or expand my color palette and mood. I recorded my process for this one (it was a very clumsy process, to be honest), but I ended up spending a bit more time with it afterwards.

Here’s the recording with some Daft Punk playing in the background:

Here’s the reference picture:

And here’s my sketch:

Obviously, there’s quite a few differences. There’s some minor issues with the composition. Chris Evans head is smaller in my sketch, and I’m sure there’s all sorts of color issues, too. Regardless, I’m fairly happy with how this one came out. But there’s definitely a lot of room for improvement.
