Oh it's back

Quick post! Starting back on my Halo hallway. Just finished up the door hi poly and Zbrush pass. Here is where I am at.

Life drawing

Still chipping away, the last two weeks have been tough but the struggle continues, here are some of my better attempts.

More Life Drawing

Here is a bunch from this week. Starting to get a little bit of a rhythm going though I really need to practice more, my proportions are terrible :-)

finally

Alright here are the life drawing comps I have been trying to post for the better part of this week. Done and done!

partial post

well 3 days straight I have forgotten to bring home the flashdrive with my life drawings on it, so out of frustration I am just going to toss this little on up.

Just tossing up some newer sketches. The last two were done @ a life drawing class I took on Monday, haven't been to one in so long it was like stepping back in time :-)

First TM2 Sketch

Finally got my TM2 nothing left to do but use it :-) Here is my first one worth posting. Obviously I have much to learn

Runaway Sculpt Over!

Hey just thought it was high time I called it quits on this one. Quickly it became obvious that I'd bitten off more then I could chew :-) Here is where it ended up, plenty more that could be refined but I am just done with it, time to more on to something else. This was quite the journey.

Weekend Zbrushing

Finally found the time to play some serious Darksiders (ya I know should have been on this months ago). Really enjoying it, couldn't help trying to imitate the "demonic root like" textures used for the climbable walls. Here is where I am at, planning to add another level and then refine it a bit. Still a ways to go, has been a really fun sculpt, just very tiring :-)

First London Posting

Moved to London, started working for Digital Extremes. Digging it so far, now I actually have time to work on stuff! Here is some recent junk. The landscape is another shot from Wild China (yes I will find something else to source) and the second is a zb sketch I started one morning while making breakfast. Enjoi!

Small Watercolours

Just got back from a canoeing trip to Kilarney, tried my hand at a bit of watercolour during the down time. Really enjoyed painting "au plein air" for a change :-)

SK Sketches

Here are some sketches of my former colleague's @ SK, done during meetings etc. I've been meaning to comp these together for a while, only recently came into possession of a functioning scanner. Already missing you guys :-)

Little Still Life

Here is a little sketch I did a few weeks back. Forgot it on my sister's machine. Just felt like tossing it up.

Let there be texture!

Tough day today... decided to do some sketching to decompress. Messing around with simple chalk brushes. Wasn't quite sure where I was going but in the end I am happy with the outcome.

By Product Of Too Much Gardening

After an extensive weekend of gardening I couldn't resist trying a little plant painting. Again, another sketch that developed into a study. The overlapping forms definitely got the better of me on this one, but I learned a lot.

Cormorants

Painted these handsome fellows the other night, couldn't resist posting them. Really like the look of cormorants, they totally remind me of dinosaurs.

Greek Relief

Quick post! This one started out as another zbrush relief sketch, greek architectural style. Decided to play around with some wear/tear and took it through to finish. Was a lot of fun, might try some sort of decorative trim pattern next.

Wild China Sketches

I've always wanted to learn how to speed paint, it just looks like so much fun! Figured a good place to start would be with landscapes. These are a few small colour sketches painted from a documentary called "Wild China." Still trying to find my workflow, definitely going to keep going with these.

Back in Action!

Over the disappointment and ready to start working again! Haven't posted forever, thought it best to start small. Here are some scribbles of my little nephew Rowan doin his thing. A tricky one to draw because he never stops moving :-)

Mecha Painted

Ok, well I have been painting all day, here is where it is at, might have gotten a little carried away with the stains and what not but I was having fun. Will put this on the shelf and start on the texture for the door. Wish me luck!

Just finished up a logo for the merch company my buddy is starting. Used "beyond-wonderland" font from FontSpace, and proceed clean it up a bit.

mecha colour block'n

Haven't worked on this one in a while. Almost finished blocking it in. Not sure about the colours but I will try and few things and just see how it goes.
