Head Paintings

Head Paintings from Bob Barrett's class. This class was unbelievably helpful! I highly recommend Bob to anybody. This was my first ever real media painting class.

Dinosaur Museum!

So, I can't believe I've never gone to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving point. Turns out, it's the biggest Dino Museum in the world! Here's some sketches from my visit. I'm not done yet, though. I'll have to go back, and I don't care if it's just me and all the moms with little kids! There were too many dinos to draw all at once!

Lantern design

Another prop design.

Happy Birthday, Sarge!

Sarge hates surprises.

Another prop!

I designed this saw for our senior film. I just painted it to add to my portfolio.

Prop designs

These are for my group's senior film. Dreamworks people told me I needed more prop designs in my portfolio...

Happy Power Re-work

These are from my final in Ryan Woodward's Character Design class.

Brothers!

A collaborative work by two artistic geniuses.

Save the Baby!

This was my final project for Sam's digital painting class.  I was trying to convey a strong story point in a single image, and I was trying for a Disney type style.

Tad, flustered manager of a hit boy band

This is Tad, manager for the hit band, Tha Hott Boyz. Looks like they're late to another practice! Darn those Hott Boyz!

This was my attempt to emulate the style of Stephen Silver.

My Alter Ego

Peter Deseve emulation

Here is a marginally succesful attempt to emulate Peter Deseve. I still like the polar bear.

Jim Lee style Sketch

This was the sketch for my previous post.

Jim Lee Emulation

I did this design in an attekpt to emulate the style of DC comic artist Jim Lee. This guy has the amazing powers of the cosmos!

John Wayne patch

Yer dang strait! WWJWD? There's a story behind this image. A couple months ago, a SPC Ryan "John Wayne" Rowley, a US soldier deployed in Afghanistan, contacted me. I'd drawn a caricature of John Wayne, and he wanted to use the image for a patch on his body armor! That was pretty cool, and I told him he could definitely do that. This morning I got this one in the mail. It's so awesome! The patch designers did a great job! There are only three of these patches in existence. I have this one, and Ryan has already worn his in combat. Thanks, Ryan, and good luck to all our troops!

Happy Power

Happy Power, Inc. burns clean smiley faces for a better tomorrow! This is the latest version. It's for Sam's painting class.

New Poll: Good or Evil?

For planning purposes, I've created a poll to show the ratio of good to evil in the current population. To gain more accurate results, please forward this link to each human.

Lightning Boy painting FINISHED!

At least I think so.

One Good Looking Dude

This was lots of fun.

Just about done

I think it's almost done! Sam says it needs more sharpness... Sigh...

Character Design Process for LIGHTNING BOY!!!

LIGHTNING BOY was always teased in school... That is, he WAS, before he stole himself some SUPER HERO GEAR! Try teasing him now! Of course, the ill-tempered fellow is looking for his stuff. Our hero is barely realizing that this may not have been the greatest idea after all.

Thanks to Sam Nielson for the critiques!

UPDATE-  Here's the finished Lightning Boy painting.

The Undertaker

Is this guy still around?
