Okay, so my wife wanted an Avatar done, that she could put up on her blog and various facebooks and whatnot, so I spent some time last night and this is what I came up with.

Here's a quick hour long drawing I did tonight of a dog-like dude.  It's for the MOAG blog, they're having a creature creation contest.  Anyway, I like it, and it was fun to just bust out the wacom and go from scratch.  I'll see if I can do more in the near future.

A quick species sketch and color that i did for the MOAG blog.  Check it out to see a detailed description of the species and whatnot.

Here's a couple of quick photographs manipulated to look like minatures.  It's a fun technique, called tilt-shift photography.  It's actually really easy to do, even if my examples aren't the best to look at, it's still pretty fun.  I'll be playing around with this for a while...

Finished a sketchbook.  It's taken quite a while, years infact.  Anyway, here's a dump of some of my favorite sketches.  

Well, there you have it.  Just a few of the sketches.  Anyway, you can check out some of my sci-fi sketches and cg work on the MOAG blog.

So, It's been a while since I posted anything here, but here's something for you.  My brother and a couple of brother-in-laws were going to the BYU - Wake Forest Basketball game.  It was a pretty big deal, Wake was ranked #6 in the country, and BYU was riding a 53 game home winning streak.  Anyway, my bro wanted me to design a tshirt for the white out, apparenlty it's the thing now a days...  so this is my design.  I like it, it's classic and I think it would look good on a tshirt.  I got some inspiration from the old Golden State Warriors logos, and well, I like it.

Here's a quick sketch I did of Norman Rockwell, based on a photograph in a book I bought at the D.I. for $2.oo.  It was fun to get back into realistic drawing.  I've been doing alot of stylized, cartoony type stuff for work lately, which I really enjoy, but this was good to get the ol' pencil out and really give it a go.  It's scanned in pretty big, but it's only about 2 inches square, and I did it with a mechanical pencil.  This made me realize I need a new sketchbook, something a little more smooth and bigger than standard paper.

This is a piece I did of my Dad, done in new pastels.  It's something I stared probably a year ago, and while I like where it is now, I always wanted to get into it a little more and really finish it up nice.  As some of you know, my Dad passed away this summer from Cancer.  I had Mom over for dinner tonight, and I showed this to her.  She really like it.  I was glad she could tell who it was!  Anyway, I think I'm going to give it another try and see if I can get a finished piece out of it.
