sculpting and painting W.I.P.

Hey everyone, been working on a few projects as of late and I wanted to post some images. The first 2 are sculpts in Zbrush which started with the amazing Zsketch and Zsphere features. The third piece is a painting I have been working on. My goal in this painting is to not draw the forms but to paint it using shape, value, color.

catapult concept

This was an idea for something at my last job that never made it. A demon catapult that throws massive mine balls that explode over the enemy to rain down magic bone fragments like a cluster bomb. I found it buried in a folder so I decided to keet going on it. I thought it would make for a great toy.

Pen sketches from the hospital

First off it is so frigin good to be home with the family together. Emily is doing fantastic and we go for our follow up in early Feb. Watching are little girl fight to get better for 2 months straight has made me a different man. She is only 11 months old but has already taught me so much. If my wife wasn't such a big help during all of this I really don't know how I would have made it through. I love you babe.

These sketches were done during the late nights awake at the hospital. I worked on technical drawing, penmanship and one point perspective a lot during this time and had many drawings to edit through. These are the ones I enjoyed. My wife actually picked most of them. Happy to be home and blogging again!!!!!!!!!!!!

skeleton_warrior

Hey guys, I have been painting this guy here and there during the baby's naps. I am really excited about him but on the other hand realizing it's time to do some kind of illustration. I'm going to work back into this old environment sketch and see how far I can take it.

ship_sketch

So I did this sketch the other day while my wife was hogging up the computer. I'm pumped about it but I just watched a video lecture by Scott Robertson, an amazing draftsman and designer, so I'm looking forward to making some more designs and hopefully work on getting tighter or more exacting.

HellBoy_3d game model

Hey guys, here is a render of my finished model for a contest on Gameartisans. I learned MANY things in making this guy and hope my next one kicks this one's ass!!!!!
