A Taste of Things to Come

Here's just a small taste of something that I'm working on, a little WIP, more to come soon....

TMNT vs Zombies Page 1

So here's a little something that's been taking up my time for the past two days. It's a homework assignment for my story boarding class, which obviously is a comic book page. I figured what would be cooler than to mix TMNT and Zombies! So I'm gonna color it up (thing Joe Madureira and Christian Lichtners style on the 3rd volume of Ultimates), and then add some word balloons and what not. Hopefully I'll be able to do 2 pages but we'll see; I'm outta town for Thanksgiving so sadly I won't have access to Photoshop Anyways, It's kinda weird to be drawing with a pencil again, I'm usually all digital now, but it's nostaligic. It reminds me of when all I wanted to be was a comic artist We'll I'll have the color posted up next week!

Skeletor WIP's

So here's my WIPs for Skeletor. Hopefully this will help some beginning digital painters as they can see the process I use for digital painting in Photoshop.

Skeletor-With Eyes

I wasn't sure which one I liked better, though I lean towards no eyes, so I thought I'd post both.

Skeletor- No Eyes

So I've had the urge lately to reminisce on my childhood and since He-man was such a big part of that part of my life I thought it would be fun to do something from that era, hence the totally evil Skeletor.

I thought it would be fun to do something in a film aspect ratio and I've been trying to work on more dynamic lighting as well. Hopefully the colors show up decent as it's hard to know how other people's monitors are calibrated. I also thought it would be fun to make it look like a movie poster as well, a fun little touch :)

I really wanted it to be like Skeletor was in deep contemplation, perhaps after just being defeated yet again by He-man.

One thing that I've recently thought is funny about Skeletor is that he's really an eternal optimist, always believing that he's one battle away from reaching his life goals (something positive that we can learn from him LOL)!

This took around 10 hours to complete from start to finish in Photoshop CS4, hope you enjoy!

Jack O Lantern WIPs

This piece shows my process through digital painting from rough line art sketch in Photoshop to final piece. Hopefully this might give some beginners out there one way that you can tackle digital painting, though there are certainly many ways and no one correct way out there. Hope you enjoy!
