In color! ... Sorta

Hey you three guys that visit me!

Here's a progression on my spectrum entry... I don't know if I'm gonna make it, but I'll try. Either way I really want to finish this. I keep telling myself I'm gonna pull it into painter and start rendering in there, but so far this has been a Photoshop only show...

Let me know what you think!

Thundercats... Remember them?

I found an old sketch of Cheetara today, and for some personal training time at work, I colored her.

I played with a technique where the underpainting so to speak was just a dark gray blue for the shadows, and a light yellow/creme color for the light side, with little blending between the two.

Then with Painter's watercolors, I "washed" some local colors over top, giving a nice watercolory texture. Then I blurred it in photoshop.

Kinda fun. :) Happy Friday everybody! Enjoy the weekend!

Oozor!!!

This is something I just simply colored. The REAL work was done by the following friends and artists extraordinaire...

The artwork was drawn by Cody Constable (Buffalo-Bill-Man on the he-man.org forums)

The text and logo treatments were done by Ric Nicholls (Sllohcin on the he-man.org forums)

If you want to learn more about Oozor and his uber cool mini statue kit created by Tom Tolman (Royalt1us on the he-man.org forums) then check out this link right here! It's a lengthy thread, be sure to check out all the pages to see Tom's progress on taking the design from Ric and sculpting the finished statue. Oh and not just a cool sculpt, but all the casting and mold making that goes along with it. Tom Rocks!

It's a part of a very cool fan project that Tom put together on he-man.org. Ric Nicholls is the creator of the character Oozor.

How many names can you keep straight now eh?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

May 2006 leave you peacefully, and may 2007 bring you new adventures and bright hopes fullfilled.

I feel bad I didn't get anything up for my favorite holiday, Christmas. My new years resolution will be to actually do something for Christmas next year. Something big and worth while even.

This is a fun little piece, I took an existing image of Castle Grayskull that I painted, maybe I'll show it here someday... And I wanted to see what that creepy ol' castle would look like with a nice coat of snow.

I was inspired largely by a couple of things, my spectrum entry below takes place in the snow, and also, over the last week I was at my parents house in Monroe Utah, where it dumped nigh unto a foot of snow on us all, leaving the landscape in a beautiful, pure blanket of snow. Magical I tell ya... just plain magical.

Enjoy!

Spectrum entry... WIP

It's been a bit o' time since my last post. Too much Christmas fun. And Just so it's known, I probably won't post much until after the new year also. But one never knows what a day brings, until the day hits you so...

For our Imagine Learning Artists challenge, we're submitting to Spectrum!

This is a sketchy work in progress on mine... I have yet to figure out half the figure and I still don't know what kind of made up animal next to him.

But I wanted it to be wintery, and again, like that wierd horse creature I posted, this is coming outa my head, a character of mine that hopefully will come to life in a story I have yet to write.

Centuaresse...

Done! Wow, this ended up a little more "Narnia-ish" that I'd expected.

I did this for our work challenge. Check out the other entries here: http://imaginelearningartists.blogspot.com/

I'm overall happy with how this turned out. But I think the more I worked on it the more frustrated I'd get with it for whatever reason.

I'd love to hear crits on this one!

Have a great Day!

Orko's girlfriend?

A goofy sketch of a goofy character.

Nothing more, but a bit of fun paint sketchin' this morning.
