Hey guys!!

Still alive and kicking, working with some explorations with digital pieces. Keep things simple and wanting to have the mood in each piece different. I am my worst critic its a bad habit never happy with my pieces until i let go, i wonder if anybody has that feeling.
Anyways i also been working back into traditional paintings it was a spur of a moment kind of thing, its funny how art works.

So I'll let you guys see that soon,

Enjoy!!

hi guys,

Been working on more of theses landscapes, but lately I've have been over worked, so i just been taking it easy for a couple of days. Anyways this image turned out to be one of my favourites, the process took me about 8 to 12 i think, well i enjoy this one and again same custom brushes still trying to practice to make perfect.

The title of this was in the beginning of the process and so i kept it "Moment caught fishing"

Enjoy!!

Another weekly image!

2009-08-21T08:02:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!!

here is another forest image i did, again no references just wanna to achieve want i can do intuitively. This was a challenge, i wanted to push painting trees a bit further, I'm happy but I'm not satisfied as you never should...cause you learned more with your next piece and i attend to do so.

This one is called "Caught in the Mist Forest"

Man i gotta work on my titles...So anyways Enjoy!!

My weekly image!!

2009-08-14T20:35:00.000-07:00

2009-08-02T20:24:00.000-07:00

hey so I've been working on a new image, finish it but two different endings not really sure which one to choose from, let you guys decide. The process is a little new for me been using custom brushes, i like it alot, cuts the production time, instead of painting from scratch. On a side note, i finally found "my road" through painting landscapes i mean what works for me, this is just a stepping stone.

So anyways...enjoy!!

2 new images!!

2009-07-17T21:19:00.000-07:00

a landscape process...

2009-03-15T21:17:00.000-07:00

Quick post, wanted to share a small process of how one was made. Started learning this technique from an artist "leventep" wicked stuff from him, he shows you how he paints and he also tells you that he got this same technique of Craig Mullins. Exploring and creating chaos from painting, finding shapes, values, and colour. I'm just getting used to the idea and loving it!!

Enjoy!!

This piece is called "Lush Morning"

ahhhh...landscapes!!

2009-03-15T21:07:00.000-07:00

Ok guys...couple of studies i did today wanted to share with you. I started with custom brushes and start going chaotic just painting not knowing what would happen... these what came out of me.

Each of these studies took around 2-5hrs

Enjoy!!

keep studying...

2009-03-13T23:01:00.000-07:00

hi there,

another process of studying here, trying to finding an image using shape, space, value and trying to find a good workflow. Using a custom brush, it took about 2hrs...Enjoy!!

almost finished...

2009-03-12T07:03:00.000-07:00

hey quick post on "The Marine" working out the details here. Thinking about the background just don't know what it is yet, or is it just him alone. This piece is looking to be bigger...will see.

Enjoy!!

Studying...

2009-03-10T21:52:00.000-07:00

Quick post on some thumbs, trying a new work flow... its got me thinking differently but for the better.

WIP latest...

2009-03-09T22:36:00.000-07:00

so far work on the face for awhile, keep flipping the image, get the balance of it. Working the details here and there, placement light for glove and power suit just tinkering with the colour. Thinking about some logo's, symbols or tattoos for the suit, bring out the character a bit more.

Enjoy!!

WIP quick drop...

2009-03-08T12:32:00.000-07:00

quick post here,

same work more passes and details, working on the face...there's a story coming out of this. The pose in itself is giving me inspiration for a background, will see...

Another WIP...

2009-03-08T12:13:00.000-07:00

hello,

For the pass couple of days I've been working on a small personal project training myself and I'll show you guys the process. Having a lot of fun with this its going to be a wicked ride.

Here's the work so far...just a simple sketch get the overall right from the beginning, then i do a quick marker sketch, then the drawing took me about 5-6hrs, lol yeah i left the face blank on purpose cause i don't want to erase so much with my mistakes on drawing faces. Into photoshop i do some cleaning up, work on some colour, shadow, and fill passes.

Enjoy!!

Finished!!

2009-03-01T09:16:00.000-08:00

WOW!!! What a crazy ride this was, never thought I'll do it. What an amazing experience this has brought me. For those who know me i never rarely drawing like this, funny how dedication pushes you and i wanted in on this. Thanks for the people in cgtalk to bring this mini challenge for us and Maddsketch what a guy! Anyways here it is the finished piece...

General Ridder aka "Wrath"

ENJOY IT!!!

almost there...

2009-03-01T06:59:00.000-08:00

having a comment on cgtalk, i was working on the detail, making sure everything is working out. I'm still having some last decisions making on the final image, so far its looking good.

basecolouring...pt3

2009-02-28T21:57:00.000-08:00

getting nervous...detailing the piece is coming together I'm finally seeing where this is going. I flip the image i like it this way, the eyes were tricky to do so important to capture the soul of this general. Never the less the show must go on.

basecolouring...pt2

2009-02-28T20:05:00.000-08:00

quick post here working around the drawing details, details, more details and presentation. But seriously at this point you can go on forever, i gotta be cool, calm and collect.

basecolouring...

2009-02-28T15:25:00.000-08:00

Alright i got the basic colour done, pretty basic on what I've done here. i broke the image into 4 sections started playing around with colour. still unclear on what the final would be but its coming along. But again this stage is fun, cause i'm just enhancing the orginal piece.

the next stage would be start thinking about the special elements eyes, mouth, logo and presentation.

Enjoy!!

tones...

2009-02-27T08:57:00.000-08:00

hey quick post before i go to work, just working the tonal areas punching darks and lights. Enjoy!!

pencilrendering pt3

2009-02-26T23:10:00.000-08:00

Got off from work early and went right into it, 5 hrs later finally done guys...Well the drawing for that matter. i hope you guys are liking it and enjoying the process.The next stage will be concentrating on the tonal areas, I'm thinking punching out the highlights with some colour not too much don't want to take away the penciling, and start thinking about presentation.

Ohhh maybe a small back story I'll do that when I'm at work...lol!!

pencil rendering pt2

2009-02-26T08:45:00.000-08:00

This is why i like this stage so much, you can push and pull shapes and see where it takes you. I must say I'm getting little edgy but that's normal i gotta get to used to it. Regardless here it is...i hope you guys are enjoying the show!

pencil rendering pt1

2009-02-25T21:12:00.000-08:00

hey guys came back from work and went right into the drawing. i start by using my favourite graphic pencils, from this stage i start from the flattest part of the drawing or background. I always start on the right side of the page cause I'm a lefty, graphic pencils smudge easily. i go along with the drawing which part is in shadow/light, small details like rips, indents, scraps, cuts, scars etc. I don't want to paid too much attention on one part of the drawing but as a whole/composition.
Funny thing happen as i was going along with the face trying to draw the hair on a dead guy didn't cut it for me but then the hair to me almost look like a spider's leg so i went with it. Let's see where this goes...

On a side note...

2009-02-25T10:51:00.000-08:00

About a year ago... i got some bad news from doctor stating i was over weight and heading towards diabetes. So i had to do some major cutbacks on my food intake booooooooo...and no more sugar. Hey are you guys aware that Tim Hortons coffee sucks without sugar...i am!! I digress, now its been almost a year by the end of march and good news i loss 30 pounds my blood sugars are low, and my cholesterol.

HIGH FIVE!!! that's right i said it!!!

quick update!!

2009-02-25T08:40:00.000-08:00

rough start...having post issues in cg. Since I'm new there i have to wait like 24 hrs before they decide to post my WIP and to join the challenge. But I'm not going to let that bother me!!

So i decide to go with this one, it has a good feel to it. The other one was really looking too sinister to me.Anyways i put a little work on photoshop just some planning or thought procees just to see if you guys are following me.
I'm having somewhat a story coming of this guy still don't know where this is going but its gonna be fun cause the next step I'll be working the overall, details, and shading in one fell swoop.

I'll show you guys the steps...ohhh and his name is General Vash Ritter

and....here we GO!!!

2009-02-25T06:28:00.000-08:00

hi!!! Just here to let you know what's going... a couple of days ago Maddsketch and i were discuss about War dominance, its a world known to artists out there and we should just go for, so I'm trying for cgsociety.com and We have nothing to lose but gain!!

the theme is War Generals and you have to make a portrait out of it, its mini challenge from the main event. This mini challenge is due on Monday mar 2nd so its gonna be a ride!!!

i got some thumbnails drawn up, from the back a menu from lettuce joint and drew two light mark sketches that i have to choose.

some new stuff

2009-02-16T15:33:00.000-08:00

here some recent drawings, again these were all done with graphic pencils 2b, 3b and 4bs and enjoy.

A Plethora of Monsters pt2

2009-02-06T14:01:00.000-08:00

A Plethora of Monsters pt1

2009-02-06T13:53:00.000-08:00

Here's the first batch...enjoy!

a Unit 350?

2009-02-06T13:12:00.000-08:00

This is my most recent drawing, had a lot of fun but it took me awhile to do. i was trying to come up with a robot just to see if i can actually do one.

How i work is pretty simple first a simple marker sketch than an overlay piece of paper on top and the fun begins. i use graphic pencils my favourites are 2b, 3b and b. i render as i draw but i make sure my pencil strokes are same direction, i also think about basic shapes and tones its just my personal way of cleanness.

Hey!!

2009-02-06T12:12:00.000-08:00

Hey guys, i should've done this along time ago...

Straight to it, a little info about me, i'm part-time artist, i work a day job. I love to draw, design ever since i was little. My goal is to work into the gaming industry, i went to sherdian and sencea for 3d gaming for 2007.About a couple of months ago i started drawing back to basics, these are what came out of me. My old self was all about environments so i decided to break out of my comfort zone so...enjoy the ride.

its only the beginning...lookout!!!
