Character Design

I started sketching one day, this is what turned out. I've always enjoyed character design and concept sketching.

1 minute, 3 minute and five minute gesture sketches

Anatomy

Sketches from life drawing and anatomy.

Jack

The man, the myth, the Samurai!
Yeah, I have a thing for Jack, what can I say

Digital Coloring

This was an original artwork published by Impact.

I downloaded the line art and colored it myself.

Willis

Willis is my second Drill Instructor.
These are some profile facial expressions
rendered in Photoshop CS3
Willis, if you're out there....I hate you too.

Finally, I did some gestures with a character that

I've tried to stay with. This was free-hand drawing using a

wacom tablet and rendered in Photoshop.

Go Illustrator

Color flats done in illustrator. This was previous to
any 'in depth' rendering.

This was an illustrated character originally published by Antarctic Press.

I redesigned him and rendered him by hand using a standard HB pencil.

Materials/ Lighting

Created in Maya 8.5

Modeling, lighting and photography

done by me.

J-E-L-L-O

I animated some alphabet letters modeled by someone else.

The Guv

Observational
Drawing -
2b -6b Pencils

Architectural Turnaround

Animation of a modeled structure coming together

I need a Tank!

Originally, I had a storyline for my Drill Instructors that included vehicles...Tanks! ( to be more accurate) This was a render started in 3d Max

Those stinkin Drill Instructors

I didn't realize it at first, but when I initially began my long adventure on learning to develop characters, the first half dozen or so turned out to be Drill Instructors......Trauma I guess.

This was my first attempt at a turn-around of my D.I....StaffSergeant Philprick.....if you're out there somewhere.......I hate you:)

Depth of Field! ..Photography1 (Balboa Park, CA)

I wasn't too excited about the Photography class until I got ahold of that camera. Let me tell you, photography is awesome. Depth of Field is a great study..
