work in progress sketch

Some personal work I have going.  I'm still having a hard time finishing my landscape pieces.  Backgrounds can get pretty intensive, but I have to keep at it.  Just let my imagination run wild.

Magneto sketch

So I got to check out that new x-men movie over the weekend.  I gotta say, they did a really good job on that.  Magneto has always been one of my favorite characters, but I generally love all the x-men characters, especially from the 90's era.  It's what I grew up on, so there's that affinity there.  But, it's always fun to draw everyones favorite mutants when I'm on a creative slump.

landscape studies

These really get me outta my comfort zone.  I'm used to doing lots of figure drawing, but I'm learning a great deal with these.  Gotta keep going and learning.

Calling it a night

Some photorealism studies.  I enjoy trying to achieve that natural, traditional painterly look.  It's a very fun style to work in.  In this case, I can work very loosely.

paint practice

Paint practice with the ladies.

The sounds of color

I was trying to get something dynamic going with this one, but I moved on.  This will stay an unfinished idea.  

I had fun experimenting with colors on this one.  You can't go wrong with a hot babe aiming a gun.  Ahhhh good times.

Birthday sketch

So I heard of HR Gigers passing yesterday and wanted to pay an homage to the alien design.  I'm not particularly familiar with his history or work, but that alien design really left a mark on all things sci fi.  The creature design is classic.  Well, here's my sketch of that famous design.  A really fun design to work on.  Thanks for viewing.  PS happy birthday to me!!
