Sunday Drive

This started as a sketch in my sketchbook:

Scanned and painted in Photoshop:

A self portrait done in Vector art, to be used as a new Avatar:

Tank Boy

First thing I've posted here in a very long time. Hope I can post some more stuff soon.

Coffee Drinkin' Hipsters

And here's some of the preliminary work for the last post;

I hope to have more stuff soon....

Something New for the New Year

Over the Holiday break from my job, I've been working on something new: 

New 24" HD Cintiq!

I just recently picked up a 24" HD Cintiq and I am really loving all the room to stretch out. I don't think you can ever have enough real estate:

I've been super busy since I started at EA, and haven't had a lot of time for personal stuff. But over the Holiday break I worked on a revised Logo for the new San Francisco Hockey team "The Bulls". I couldn't change it much, they just wanted me to make what they had look better. They were really pleased with what I was able to do with it, while not changing it too much (I thought I was never going to work in Illustrator again, after I left Color Labs):

Surf's Up!

Time to grease up and hit the beach here in the bay area, 'cause it's October (our best weather of the year).

Further Exploration

Still exploring this guy. I'm not sure if I like this direction yet. I'll have to look at him for a few more days to decide. His face reminds me of the actor Phil Silvers (Sgt. Bilko, for anyone old enough to remember). Here he is anyway:

Another Character Sketch

Finally, something that's not western themed. This is a fun character I was working on this week, hope you like it. Kind of looks like the "Early Bird" buffet line on a seniors cruise :) 

Video Turntable of my Zbrush sculpt

Here's a video turntable of my Zbrush sculpt.  

You can see a higher resolution version in my web portfolio here (click the top right thumbnail image):

Zbrush Sculpt

It's finally finished! After spending the better part of my spare time this summer teaching myself Zbrush, I've finally finished my first Character Model Sculpt. It was a really difficult transition, having only used Autodesk's Maya for 3D work in the past, but it was well worth the effort. Zbrush is amazing, once you get the hang of it! I had a lot of fun and I'm really happy with how it came out:

And here's the Orthographic Drawings I created to sculpt from in Zbrush:

I'm hoping to create a couple posed versions of this character and render a turntable video to put in my Web Portfolio soon.

Another Version

I wasn't really happy with my first pass at this character (especially since I wanted to try and sculpt it in Zbrush). So I reworked it, and here's another version:

I'm still working on the Zbrush sculpt, but I'll post it soon.
