What a difference a month makes. This is a speed paint I did twice. The left is a month ago (45 mins). The right I did today (30 mins). I'm happy to see improvement. I have been doing at least one a day. I'm on day 42!

Visceral Games Test : DEAD SPACE World
This is some old artwork I found from earlier this past semester. I was recruited to do an art test for Visceral Games (EA), makers of Dead Space and some others. I was asked to create an environment piece in the style of the game. This was my pass. It was fun, sooo different from what I normally do. I didn't get the job...

1 a day / 30 days
Here are 30 speed paints done in 30 days (45 minutes or less). My new habit and hopefully addiction that won't get derailed. Its easy to say you're gonna do this and then quit. Artist Goro Fujita came by SJSU and recommended doing this saying it wasn't easy, but so helpful to him. I don't see much of a leap, but I did get faster. We'll see how month 2 goes. For now... here's my first 30.

Hey. New work that I did this week. I'm revisiting an earlier project and started with some color & design explorations. Next pass will be to texture & light these. Just felt I needed to post something again...

BFA - Collabo...
This was a background I provided for my classmate Kathleen O'Brien for her final animation project. It was a quick turnaround because her other collaborators fell through. It was fun to get back into the mix and really like working with others, especially when they are pleased.
The Top image is the background I did. Below is a shot of the animation profided by Kathleen... I think she still intends to get the lighting to match the background just right...

FOR HiJiNX
So... I entered this drawing for HiJinX Comics brand new Art Contest. The contest was draw your favorite super hero just pen/pencil on paper. I got it in under the wire, kinda waited till the last minute, and yes I realize the perspective, anatomy, & crotch problems... (I also like the energy of the thumbnail version better) But Robin (Dick Grayson version) is really my favorite character. He's the one I grew up with, the one I grew up loving and wanting to be. Anyhow, this is it. I was happy a) to get it done & b) just entering the art contest. All good fun!
UPDATE: Apparently, I won the contest. Not a lot of fanfare, not that I needed it. :D I got $25 of free new comics so that was pretty sweet. Thank you Dan from HiJinx Comics

KINGDOMS OF CAMELOT: Marketing Art
Property of Kabam! (formerly Watercooler Games)
These small illustrations are marketing art for the Facebook Game "Kingdoms of Camelot." I got a cool little gig at the beginning of Summer/End of School Year creating work for Kabam! (formerly Watercooler Games). Each week I'm contracted to create 10 original ads (shown actual size) as advertisements for the game. These usually go along the side when you look at your FB page. Maybe/Hopefully you've seen one and it compelled you to play the game. Iits interesting to find out which ones were effective and which really... really weren't. I'm surprised each time.
Big Props to my last semester's teach Ariel for helping us out with the gig!
