Wicked Fun

I had a little time so I added a little painting I finished a few days ago. It's for a personal project I've been working on when I have a little bit of time.

Some more fun

Here's another I had a really fun time with. ever since college I had this little character I would draw off and on when I was bored in class and finally I have a world I can put him in. And this little guy lives in a world with dragons and fun rock formations. It's a big world and a little guy- pretty much how I feel right now. :)

New stuff

So, it's been FOREVER since I update this. I've been extremely busy with my regular job and other freelance projects, but I've still had a little time to work on my own stuff. Posting is a completely different matter however. That said, here's something new and a little different. I'm really starting to be inspired by artists like Brittney Lee and Erwin Madrid. While it's not exactly like them, I really enjoy the whimsy and overall design with each of them, plus it looks like they have a lot of fun in what they do. I think we in the business sometimes lose sight of that. I have but I'm getting it back lately and enjoying every minute of it.

Uphill

So, here's another shot I did. I put all three characters in here again. I wanted to establish their personalities just a little bit with where they are in the composition. For instance the squirrel is very bouncy and excited and the bear is very content and eager to explore- they're the positive gun ho adventurers. The beaver on the ,other hand, is lagging behind and not quite as enthusiastic as the other two but, no matter what, he's still with his buddies. Cranky and griping a lot, but with them.

The Revelation

So here is a composition I finished a bit ago. It's my three characters finding out that some other creatures have begun to intrude their woods. I think this is the first tine I've shown all three characters.

Climbing

So here's a painting I did a week or so ago. This color scheme is very much inspired by xiangyuan jie. If you haven't visited his blog you are truly missing out. His work in inspiring and his paintings are incredibly beautiful.

Trailers

Here is a shot I did a few weeks ago. I love bears but I also like beavers. They have such a funny little body capped off with that flat tail so I had to put this little guy in my story as a sidekick. Here I just wanted to have a little creature approach another very strange looking thing he's never seen (a trailer). He doesn't know what it is or who lives here, all he knows is he's never seen one of these things and really, it can't be all that bad considering how pretty and shiny it is.

More to come...
