African Dwarf

This was a really fun piece that i worked on during my lunches for a week or two. He's the king of An African Tribe of Dwarves. His beard comes down and out through the armor of his breastplate, because in dwarven culture, the beard is the sign of your prestige. he is also wearing hyena pelts because Hyenas are one of the few natural enemies of the lion besides man. His main weapons are the claws of an ancient giant lion that he starps to his hands.

Some Quick Head Doodles

These were some fun head doodles to warm up. They were all around 45 min to an hour, im really trying to focus on staying loose and letting fewer strokes do more work (but its really hard!) Any resemblances to real people living or dead is purely coincidence! Jk, anyways thanks for lookin.

Has Anyone Seen My Arm?

This was a really fun piece to do, it started out as a lunch sketch. He is an Irish Dwarf who is a retired warrior and is trying to keep his nose out of trouble by being a farmer, but those pesky goblins just wont stay off his land. Anyway, thanks to Tyler for the advice on values! Critiques are always welcome. Oh, and sorry for the crazy long absence!

Cameron the Cat Hunter

In a world without adults, children have had to fend for themselves. Their main source of food: ...... Cats! These are truly barbaric times and no feline is safe with "Cameron the Cat Hunter" on the prowl!

This is a fun little painting I wanted to do of my son Cameron. He is the most destructive little boy on earth! ( But i still love him to death!) The version on the right just has some quick color overlays, to see what could happen. Critiques are always welcome.

Another light Study

First just let me say that i know the anatomy on the drawing sucks hardcore! I just grabbed the first drawing i had sitting around and scanned it in. My focus during this exercise was to better understand lighting and how to use it to describe form. If any of you know any better exercises to learn lighting please share them with me! I would be most grateful. By the way, I just want to say thanks to AJ and Edgar for their help! Also Critiques on the lighting is most welcome.

Done but not Finished.

This piece was inspired by my friends Jason Hill, and AJ who both did some kick-ass female characters. I figured i would try my hand at it and this is what i came up with. It feels to me like a student painting and that's not good! I did learn alot though so its hard to be totally bumbed out about it. Anyway, here it is, smash on it good. I need some critiques (that means you AJ, Edgar, and Tyler!) More coming soon, sorry for the long silence.

Look how much I Suck

I was doing another turtle concept at Concept club and my buddie AJ totally kicked my ass about design and making better decisions early on in the piece. He walked over and was like "Here dude, check this out." And ten minutes later my mind hole was blown off! The one on the left is mine before he pimped all over it, and the one on the right is his. I truly appreciate it AJ, if you're reading this, you really opened my eyes. This helped me a lot and its gonna suck if you go to scotland.
