Glow

Did this over the spring break. It started off as a doodle, exercise in drawing stuff in perspective, with cross-sections, etc, inspired by industrial and product design drawings. About half way through though it turned into a painting. Glow, a robot, wandering through a derelict space station. Hope you like, and thanks for looking.

Metal, undeath and application to Art Center

Some new images: a couple of the older ones reworked and a few that I did as part of my portfolio to Art Center.

Overlord

I've been meaning to do something evil and/or metal inspired for a while. I'm not sure if I succeeded at that, but this was what came out. A more finished version of a WIP that I had in a gallery here for some time.

Let the healing begin..

Hopefully, mine. Also a more finished version of a WIP in my gallery here. The idea for this originated from a russian joke/saying: " if the doctor says (you're bound) for the morgue, then to the morgue you go. I.e if they pronounced you dead, you don't argue -- they have the expertise. A sarcastic remark I heard used when 'authority' told you to do something you didn't like.

Followed up and re-imagined in a similar vein, in here the patient is obviously not quite dead, being followed by the 'doc'.

***

The following images were part of my application to Art Center from January. They are, supposedly, linked by a story and happen within the same world.

Arrival

I had to do an interesting cityscape with a vehicle and a character, a frame in a story. I've never really done stuff like that before, and there's certainly room for improvement. If you have some suggestions/comments, I'd be glad to hear.

Transit

-Traveling economy class. Here I tried to do a more stylized, situational illustration. Also something I haven't really done before. Not sure if it's quite there yet, but I am at a loss as to what can be done to improve it. Other than maybe rendering it some more and maybe refining that window too..

Ride

-A more conventional vehicle and a character. More of a vehicle design exercise for me, the illustration itself feels very common though:/

Please feel free to leave comments/suggestions. Thanks.

A dragon and a zombie.

"Undead Warrior" and "Blue Dragon". Yes, will need to come up with more imaginative titles..  High Res of the dragon: here

Futuristic mech armor

A fairly quick cyber/mech marine armour design that I did. Was a paintover of a rough zbrush sketch, done mostly in Painter, with some Photoshop here and there.

A Tree By The Old Town

Here's another painting that I've more or less finished, I think. Took several months, on and off.

Clothed Figure Painting

These are the better paintings that I did for a class in Autumn of 2010. The top three were the major homeworks (the last two not entirely finished) done in oil on canvas, 16x20". The ones in the second row were done during the class sessions and are 12x16" board for the "Potter" and 18x24" one for the "Sleeping Woman."

A variation of the "Sleeping Woman" painting with digital color/tone adjustments can be seen here.

Intermediate Figure Drawing

These drawings were done for my Intermediate Figure Drawing class in Fall 2010. The hooded portrait and the hands were homeworks; the rest are in class drawings done from models.
