More Painting - Digital

Ok, so I didn't really like that last image either. This is the FINAL one (I promise) after some consulting with a co-worker about the piece.

Also, same co-worker (Robert) introduced me to Phil Hale's work. Jaw dropping stuff! Inspired, I did a study of one of his pieces. Not hard to tell which one's mine, is it.

Just had to fix those legs, I didn't like the anatomy. Click HERE to see a uber-high resolution image in all its glorious detail!

Photoshop

I am a self-proclaimed Photoshop master. Actually, I can definitely say that I do NOT know everything about Photoshop, but I HAVE taught Alissa most of what she knows. However, she has also taught me some things about photo editing and processing. I am going to try to do more painting and sketching in color, which means Photoshop for now. Here is one I finally finished, it's been sitting around for at least a few years! I am finally feeling more comfortable painting in Photoshop, and have been going nuts making my own brushes! It's actually pretty easy....

Shoes

Some of you may know that I like shoes. In fact, at one point I had more shoes than my wife. I haven't counted lately, but that could still be true. Recently, a friend of mine got some new shoes that I'd like to try out because they're just that cool-looking. You be the judge! Check out the website.

I'm Not Spiderman

Don't let this spider bite you. You will NOT inherit incredible strength NOR will you be able to shoot sticky webbing out of your wrists. I hear these things jump, too!

The Brown Recluse is dangerous. I have just learned that Florida has 3 species of this spider. I'm now scared to death.

Digital Sculpting

I'm trying to finish a hand study for the EA Art show featuring digital sculpting - the deadline is next Friday. At this point it's just in a relaxed pose, and I'm really just studying surface anatomy and skin texturing. I'm kinda worried that people will think the hand looks funny, but I'm using my own hand for reference and my hands look different from most people's! Anyhow, I thought I'd share what I'm working on right now.

The EA Art Gallery is a cool program we have at work, and I hope to show some of my figure drawing there in the future.

I'm also trying to get my stuff together for the Austin Game Developers Conference. I'm going to fly out to look for work in Austin, where we hope all our dreams will come true. Actually, I already have a lead at a larger studio out there, but I'm going anyway to make sure all my bases are covered. So, if you have things to say about Austin, I'm all ears!
