“M”.

An illustration assignment for a class at school.  It’s a poster for my 4th year film “M” (working title) and it features Matilda. I vaguely tried to hint at a story even if it’s not readily apparent.  This was all drawn in Photoshop and rather quickly, about 5 hours on and off when all is [...]

Forgetless #3 Preview.

Alright, since I saw a preview of Forgetless issue #3 online – I guess it’s safe to post these up.  This issue looks incredible (I think) and the story is the best yet.  If you are interested in the book, go to your local comic shop and pick it up/order it in.  Thanks!

Life Drawing.

Here are some of my recent life drawings.  The time ranges from 30 seconds to 10 minutes.  I’m not a fan of conté at all; I can never seem to get it to do what I want it to do.  As always, enjoy.

Cecil Designs.

Just some designs/color tests I did for my group film.  I should probably scan the exploration sketches too, but that will have to be for another time.  Thanks and enjoy.

Orange.

A warmup painting of sorts for a project I am working on.  The painting technique was inspired from a painting James Jean did; I tried to give it my own twist, but I don’t think that was successful. One day I hope to finish it traditionally, but for now, the acrylic/digital hybrid will do, enjoy!

Faulted Perfection.

A while back I posted a Cloud Lady and her Writer (here) from our third year group film. After a lot of changes over a few months – we finally have this, a Boy and his Cloud.  I tried mirroring the old illustration / piece to this new one, not sure how successful it [...]

Forgetless Cover #5.

Busy busy times. The final cover to Forgetless, featuring Sara and the guy in a koala suit. Traditionally painted with some digital enhancements. The original painting is 16″ x 24″ or something along those lines. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, it being my first time working with acrylic washes [...]

Action Analysis.

… and it’s finally over. I tried to keep it simple, I changed her design a tiny bit – I wish I kept the old but next time I guess. Anyways, enjoy.

Sunny Days.

I’ve been doing a lot of traditional painting lately, trying to get away from what I am comfortable with.  Anyways, this was a christmas present for a friend of mine; also, “Happy Holidays” to any readers out there!
