Update before Annecy

Some old and new designs cleaned up in Tvpaint for possible use on business cards. I ended up going with the gun and the car. I've found a new way of doing digital cleanup that's fast and fun, and it gives me a very nice, living line quality :)

 Here is some more designs that I will be going over in Tvpaint, and puttin' some color and textures on in the end. I have been on a crazy designing and drawing spree the past month, so there is a lot of new things accumolating that have yet to see the light of day on this blog, but it will, promise.

Redneck animals jammin' away:

 

Some commercial concept work for a digital schedule keeper. They wanted an octopus mascot.

Some sketches from a gesture drawing class. J

gesture drawing and sketchbook

An old and a new design touched up in red pencil, and some gesture drawings, all from the sketchbook. I'd like to go over some of the gestures to try and make them stronger and simpler, I still feel they are too busy.

Another Tvpaint cleanup, having fun with an old design. They were to be used for a tutorial, and might still be.

a colour thumbnail - I am fiddling with another version, more texture and clean but meh...

memory sketches

I've seen these people in the streets. Drawn from memory. That old guy really wears funky clothes like that.

Warrior values

I am ok happy with these values - can't get the colours to work yet, though

Warrior - Inked

I finished this months ago, but forgot to upload it. It's a re-design of an old character that I inked with pen and brush - I really enjoyed the process, have to do more old school stuff like that.
