What better to celebrate a leap year than with a jumping frog!

Underwater buddha, take 3
Early post today! Had some extra time after work to play around with this some more. Took some more time and I've been figuring stuff out with new brushes and textures, and finally used some underwater reference for close up texture work... Finally got it to a point that I'm happy with- enjoy!
Paintin' away
Worked on my real painting tonight; got a good chunk of work done on it. Good to be painting again- haven't worked on any of my physical painting stuff in too long. I'm taking pictures of it in progress; I'll post the whole series when I finish it so you can see the work process.
And yes, it is a painting of Ghost with a rainbow. Awesome!

speed painting
I'm not 100% happy with my colors on these speed paintings- feel like they keep getting muddy by the end. I know i love saturation, so I feel myself toning back, toning back, but then by the end the pieces are dull. Something to work on. Anywhoo, not going to stress all night about this one- just sort of a view of the Yangtze River and those iconic Chinese hills.

long weekend!
super tired after a full weekend of fun stuff! Had an awesome time at disneyland- full of rides, food and friends. A bit cold and damp, but that equals no lines! and now, time for sleep! ; )

SMASH PARTY!!
Just got back from Titmouse Studio's Smash Party. Had a great time, but managed to smash two of my fingers by accident while attacking a monitor with a lead pipe. Managed to finally finish the monitor off with a sledge hammer, but man do my fingers hurt (think of slamming your fingers in a car door- pretty similar) Otherwise had an awesome time and got to see SO many great animation peeps!! Thanks Chris P and titmouse for hosting!!

Illustration Friday; "Multiple"
Multiple worlds, multiple galaxies.
This week's theme for Illustration Friday made me think of stars and galaxies and the multitudes of other solar systems, planets and worlds that exist besides our own.

Playing with brushes
swamped with freelance, so just a quick playing around with some new photoshop brushes... SO much fun!

More underwater color studies
Some more variations on the buddha head under water- still just a rough color study, but I think this one better defines lights/darks and doesn't compromise color saturation in the statuary.

speed painting
More a color study than anything- not tons of detail, but trying to get the underwater ambiance combined with warmer colors from sunken ruins/statuary. i might come back to this theme and re-work it- I'd like to eventually do a nice "underwater sunken head" piece that's more finished...

Illustration Friday: "Theory"
Decided to illustrate "string theory" for Illustration Friday, which is more a visual playing with strings than the theory itself, which you can read all about here.

drowning in numbers
ah, the joys of being sick -and- doing taxes. (And yes, I do keep that many receipts! )

the battle continues
still fighting a cough, but seem to have chased most of the cold bugs away for now (with help from nyquil and airborne, but mostly due to my trusty side-kick, Captain Sleep)

being sick sucks!!
drew this between being asleep and drugged up with nyquil... bleh...
i'm super bummed to be missing out on my first day back at oddbot too- here's hoping i'll feel better tomorrow!!
little squid
I read today that there's a squid called the "googley eyed glass squid," so that seemed like a fun thing to draw.. it's a bit rough, 'cause i'm feeling under the weather today

Illustration Friday; Choose
Quick drawing for Illustration Friday. The right to choose doesn't mean the choice is an easy one to make.

Perfumed
was feeling uninspired, and somehow came up with this using the "scribble and find something interesting" method.. Sorta like it!

Super Spy the fish
Got a small canvas today to test resin on for a larger piece; haven't applied the resin yet, but here's the painting (tiny, acrylic on 4"x6" canvas with glitter on the body of the fish).

Speed painting and color studies
Tyree has been helping me figure out some speed painting in photoshop; first pass at what ended up being an underwater scene. Worked about an hour on it; still a little abstract, but it's a start!
