Green Lantern Sketch

A sketch for a friend of mine for his Birthday. He likes Green Lantern...a lot.

Sexy Fairytale

I created this for the J.Scott Campbell contest over at sketchoholic. I debated with myself quite a bit as to whether I should paint this or stick with a comic book style. I did try for an hour or so to paint it and it was turning out pretty horrible. Another one finished around 3 am or so.

Secret Santa

I painted this for a coworker of mine for secret santa. We have always joked about me making something unlike all the cute stuff I've been practicing lately. So...here it is.

Flight!

The topic for this contest was flight. I named this one "flight buddies" however. I remember I actually made this between the hours of 11pm and 4am. It was the first piece completed on my new Cintiq now that I think about it. The engine was a pain but I was happy with how the perspective overall worked out. I also painted this in passes much like how I would render out passes in 3D and composite in After Effects. For me it works better this way when there is complex lighting problems to solve.

Tonal Topic Entries

Guilty Pet

Most often when I'm starting a painting I tend to lockup on how to treat color. For me it's easier to handle form when working tonally-without color. Until I feel satisfied with rendering forms I may work more in black and white. Hopefully soon I'll make the big jump to working with color straight away. I'm looking for tips. sidebar: I think I might be colorblind.

Monday Morning Sketch Guy

Random warm up doodle which I liked. I used a value strip which worked out pretty nice for free flowing tonal work.
