Learning software

Hello everyone. I'm in the process of learning a new group of programs which include illustrator, after effects and flash. This piece is something I created with illustrator and tweaked in Photoshop.
I love illustrators stroke options so I decided to leave in some of my searching lines in the design.

Pod Design

Hello everyone,
I'm trying new techniques out and this is something I came up with. I'm feeling good about it and I'm going to continue ahead with my new discoveries. I'm also headed into the world of motion graphics and visual story telling. I'm excited to see where I end up.

Oh and my first Particle effect.

painting

Hey everyone,
I wanted to post this painting for several reasons. I recently interviewed with a potential client and was inspired by their ideas so this was the result of that. It also served as a little exercise I'm taking part of with my team, and that is to paint for one hr a day. This painting has two sessions within it and I think I'm around 3-4 hrs. Crits and comments more than welcome as usual.

Truth

Thus far my blog has for the most part been a recording of my growth as an artist. This post is going to be different. On this weekend where we all reflect on the events of 9/11 I find myself watching the news and surfing the web, looking for 9/11 information. I have been researching and watching informational videos on the subject for many years now. I would like to share a collection of You tube clips I have just finished watching and I must say I am disturbed greatly. There are 12 parts in all and I found the information presented to be unlike anything I have watched before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDVWlUy0BWo&feature=related

I was told a colleague of mine that one day you have to chose a side you believe in and today I am choosing the side of truth.

splash screen

Hi everyone. This post is a mock splash screen for an i pad casual game. Done for another art test. The idea is you control a squad of crazy bombing penguins.
I'm feeling good about my value choices throughout the piece.

space welder

Hey everyone. I watched the Hurt Locker the other night and the body armor worn during the movie inspired me to create this. This guy is a welder and he works on repairing huge space ships.
A small side note I thought the movie was really well done and it made a big impact on me.

AK-47 Texture

Hey guys here's an update of the game model. It's 1538 polys with 3 maps. I plan on getting this into a next gen engine and making it look pretty with effects.
