So if you know me personally, or even through my postings… I really love to start something, hate it the next day and try something else! Well this is one of them! So I really hated the pose for the Sorceress (which I called a Warlock, but my friend told me that Warlocks are dudes… and she’s certainly NOT a dude) so I sketched out another pose, which I’m way more happier with, and started tightening up the linework for color!
I’m also VERY bad with backgrounds (which is super important for storytelling) but I always jump into the character first and think about the background after :/
I hope you guys/gals dig it! and I hope I don’t hate it tomorrow :D
Cheers!
She was hanging out on my desktop for awhile, figured I should do something with it. I sketched out a background for her, so i’ll be adding that next.
I figured I would post these up since i’m starting to wrap them up within the week. They’re all work in progresses. I’ll be posting the whole project in a couple of weeks :P Enjoy!
-Cheers!
Hey everyone! Here’s what i’ve been working on for the past 2 months or so. I recently went back to LCAD to take advantage of my alumi free semester class! I decided to take Visual Development with Luc Desmarchelier. For the class we had to choose from 4 stories and visualize the look, color, feel etc to produce it for a feature film or short. I choose Dragon Castle because, come on! I can’t skip a chance to draw dragons and knights! my two favorite things in the world! haha
But here is my take of the story and these are the beat boards for it. They’re pretty much key shots that tell a chunk of story per image! It’s still a work in progress until i’m fully done concepting.
I’ll be posting the concept and everything else once I fully flesh them out to be presentable!
Until then!
-Cheers!
Random idea while I was jogging today
Don’t want to bore everyone to death seeing this *slowly* being painting, so the next posting of this will be the finished one :D
A quick color pass
Started just doodling and I ended up with this…
A little card Im doing for the incoming Chinese New Year :D
So I got about 4 days left before the show and I’m actually not stressing out, yet! haha
Heres 3 more rough illustrations that i’m doing for the show! Hopefully they turn out good! and is worthy for the portfolio (/crosses fingers)

So this is like a battle mage-ish dude. The idea here is that he’s absorbing the fire blast coming from the opposite direction and channeling it to frost energy. I am going to turn his hand to look like it’s hot magma and maybe incorporate it his frozen staff! I’ll add the special effects of MAGIC when it’s almost finish or else i’m going to end up spending time on those and then realize that I still need to render everything else haha.. fun stuff is always last :(

Typical environment, going with the dappled light again because it makes everything look BADDASS!! Pretty much the castle is like super white and it’s going to shine like a DIAMOND! haha (bing!)
(ScreeShot 3)
This is where that dragon lives, I’m going to have him flying around with green fire in his mouth to show the relation. The clouds are going to be lit up from the volcano/mountain and have the lava be radiating.
(ScreenShot 4-5)
The last three illustrations I showed last week are about 80-95% done. I’m taking my time so that I can jump back and forth between all the illustrations so I get a fresh eye about every 2 hours, hoping that I wont get frustrated to much and get a painting block!
Heres the dragon and the urge/troll… the lens flare one, I haven’t really worked on much since that one is pretty much almost done
PLESE CRIT ME PLEASE!!! not a lot of my ideas are shown yet because I wanted to really get the “gesture” of the overall illustration first!
-Cheers!
These are my current work in progress. I have 3 more in line drawing right now hoping to get them done by next Wed! So I’m calling the powers of the mighty blog to help me out! FOR ASGARD!!!

Started painting this one yesterday, I’m not sure if I should make the elf a little larger and push the giant back or if it’s okay how it is right now. The lighting is going to be dappled lighting so the giant is going to be lighten and pushed back a little more. The elf will also be hit with the light, I kinda indicated it a little in the underpainting but i’ll be more noticeable in the end!

I’ve been working on this one for way to long!! The knight on the right has changed about 3-4 times since I started it. I’m liking this knight the most and I think I’m going to stick with it. He’s not finished yet but hes mostly blocked in already. The main knight is pretty much 95% complete, I just need to add the wear and tear on his armor. The dragon’s wings are going to be torn and have some of the light shinning though it to give it some noise. Also theres a tangent with the dragon’s tail to the knight’s helm, it’ll be changed at the end :D

This one is a little rougher than the others. I kept battling myself with this one and caused me some trouble :( but pretty much it’s a dragon fucking up a castle and blowing GREEN FYYAAA! everywhere! Hoping to get this one more developed by the end of tonight. I cant wait to add the specs and flares of the fire! those are always fun! haha
also, hes crushing a castle in his right hand, I didn’t render it at all haha
So yea! give me feed back guys/gals!! I want to add these to my portfolio for CTN so it has to be A1!
Going to try and have my next one finalized tonight and start blocking it in tonight :D You’ll see a lot of WIP from me this week!
-Cheers!
This was suppose to end my dallies and be an illustration for Halloween! but I wasn’t able to finish it before I had to go trick or treating haha. I hope you guys/gals dig the work in progress though :D
have a safe and awesome Halloween! SUGAR RUSH!!!
