TATA GALA: FIN

I just finished this last night, where I stayed up later then I want to admit because I was in the "zone". It's a bad habit that needs to stop. But a question for anyone that feels like answering. How do you feel about the type? Is it good? Bad? Would you like to see me submit it to the gallery with the type on it? Or is it more appropriate to have it typeless? I can't make up my mind.

TATA GALA: 2010

Hey! New project to get crackin on. This is an annual event on its fourth year running called the TATA Gala. A fun and unique gallery show for breasts and about breasts and includes just painting, design and photography. This was brought to my attention last week when Jon Schindehette did a post on ArtOrder about it. Sounds like a fun thing to be apart of so I pulled out the sketchbook and got to work. So far so good, but I am still finding my way through this one.

Armored Adventurer: UPDATE 2

So far so good. You may have noticed this one is a tad different haha. I had flipped it while I was working, as is usually a good idea once you reach a certain point, and now I'm thinking it's a stronger composition with him facing this direction. I am still thinking I may try to make its armor a bit more interesting as I continue to flesh things out, but there is always that classic fantasy feeling with that more historic feeling armor.

The Next New Thing

Just a new character shot I am working on. It's really just an opportunity to work on some strong lighting. I'm still messing a but with the shaping of that lighting through the trees in the back, but all the major things are nailed down so I figured I would throw it up.

This Past Week...

This past week I had decided to try to divide my time a bit, by updating and applying to a lengthy list of graphic design studios in the city. Before doing so I needed to really update my GD portfolio a bit. Nothing major, just a few new projects and an updated intro page to my website. Since I had nothing major illustration wise to post from all the work this week, I figured I would go ahead and post these. All three are paintings some of you may remember, they were all school assignments that were intended as use for book covers. Although I know that It isn't my job to add type as an illustrator when working on these sorts of projects in the real world, it doesn't hurt to throw some on and drop these bad boys into my GD portfolio. I still have more GD stuff I want to work add to the book, but after a week of cranking stuff out I'm gonna chill out and sketch over the weekend.
