Letter Paintings

This was part of my wedding gift for my brother and new sister in law.  Both kinda big nerds.  The letters are their initials. The "D" has Gotham City and the bat signal for my brother the batman lover.  The "A" has a Tyrannosaurs Rex, because she is a fan of dinosaurs, but mostly the t-rex.

Both are acrylic on canvas wrapped wood letters

Pokemon turned Human

Based off the Pokemon Wigglytuff.  Something I did for fun and for practice.

Cardboard Stove

I made this old fashioned stove out of cardboard and some hot glue for a contest on twitter.  It was related to The Boxtrolls.  I ended up being one of the winners and won these pair of Nike Troll Strikes.

Paintings I did last week and this that were inspired by concept art from the film Frozen by Disney animation.

Both are 8" x 10" canvas painted with Acrylic

Movie Paintings

I've been painting a lot lately.  I took some scenes from some more recent animated movies and put them on 7" x 20" bristol paper.  Painted with acrylic paint.  No preplanning done ahead of time.  Just painted each on in one sitting.

The reason the Tangled one has the line, is because I had it taped off before I knew what I was gonna paint, and sort of forgot I had the tape there.

None of these characters or designs belong to me.  I just painted them for fun.

Pepper Drawing

While going through some old artwork, I discovered this.  Made the same quarter that I did the guitar painting.  It's a green pepper with attitude.

Guitar Painting

A painting I did from a photograph I had taken.  The setup is a guitar I had won in an art contest.  The elements in front of the guitar are:  a figure of the character I had drawn, the materials used in my winning piece (markers), and the winning page on the website printed out.

All painted with Acrylic paint. 

A-12 Robot

Drawn in another class during my time in college.  We were to design a robot.  That was the assignment, and we had one week to do complete it, rendered.  So this was my robot titled A-12 who was left on a isolated planet after a war.

Created on Biggie paper 18"x14" using a variety of graphite pencils

Factory Hallway

Going through some more old work.  This was also created in that advance drawing class.  I took an image from my sketchbook and just redrew it on larger paper. 

The Great Mouse Detective

This was a final project for a advanced drawing class in school.  We were to choose one of our favorite Disney animated movies, and using images from our sketchbook that whole quarter create a piece in pencil. 

So this is Basil from The Great Mouse Detective.  The gears have the images from my sketchbook.  This is all created with a Prisma col-erase blue pencil and was created on Biggie 18"x24" paper

Sword Model

This is a model I did for fun.  It is of Cloud's sword from the movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Modeled, and lit in about 2 hours in Autodesk Maya

Nutcracker Backdrop

I helped create the backdrop for the second act of Temecula Dance Company's annual Nutcracker.

Here are just  a few images with the dancers in front of it.  It looked absolutely fantanstic

Current sculpture WIP

Thought it would be fun to sculpt again.  Here is what I decided to work on.  More shots will come when he's finished.  This character can be found through my Character Design link

Nutcracker Backdrop

I worked on this with a team of 3 others for Temecula Dance Company's Nutcracker.

It is roughly 23 x 40 ft and it took almost 3 days to complete.

Sculpture of an original character for a sculpting class in late 2010.  Measures about 1ft x 1ft
