Viking in a gas mask

Here's a quick speedpaint, it's not nice n' pretty like everything else posted recently, but I haven't posted anything in a while. I wish I gave him a big viking beard and hair.
The topic was "A bespectacled viking in a gas mask." 30 minutes. Process GIF:

I started with a greyscale, did a multiply layer of color, then another layer where i color picked and refined.

Blubber Goul

Just for fun. Started at Skuntch on Tuesday. Finished up last night while drawing with my sons. Check out his sweet ta-ta's.

Comic pin-up

This is something my buddy John Cboins illustrated (and I colored) for the upcoming TPB release of the compiled "Common Foe" comics from Image/Desperado... not sure when it comes out.

Hell opens up

Guys - please crit these... they've been at this stage for awhile, but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about them yet... need insight... seems like they're somewhere between stiff and loose.

Tessa

A quick painting of Tess. About 1 1/2 hours. Playing with skin tones from photo reference.

Rejects

Been a while since I posted anything... Haven't had much time for anything but work... speaking of which... these are some rejected concepts I can share:

So I got my new Intuos tablet about three days ago and did not really have a chance to sit down and play with it until tonight. As you can see, I came up with a lovely portrait of my wife, Tess, and goofy self portrait. Cheers!

Vector Portrait

This is a vectror portrait I did at the request of Tess' friend Brenna. These are fun.

Where's y'all at? I want to see new work!!!

First Cintiq Sketch

So my bosses deemed me a valuable enough concept artist to purchase a Cintiq for me to use. I must say, I am in love with this machine. This guy clocks in at around 30-45 minutes.

Moon Crooner

I started this marker sketch today at Skuntch, then finished it up at home. I like how it turned out, though I will be the first to admit that it is heavily infulenced by two other artists. First, by Mikey G's wonderful robots with girlies sketches, and secondly by my favorite Jon Foster painting.

Where's everybody been? Let's see some new drawerings...

A Little Help For My Friends...

I did this quick concept for Cole and his latest short. It is supposed to show how this cute little girl all of a sudden folds up and pushes herself into a kennel... I think it came out pretty sweet for how simple it is, so I wanted to show it off to you freaks. :P

More Stuff From '06...

Here is some stuff from last year that some of you have already seen...

First up, three-page test for a Teddy Scares comic book with Ape Comics. I made the top three but they ended up going with someone with a more cartoony style. Oh well, I had fun and made a good connection. BTW, I did these three pages in one night... eh... there's definately some things I'd change if i did another pass, but I like them over-all.

Second, a character test I did for an ever mysterious 'game studio' in Denver. I will say no more.

Playing around with some ideas

Loosely based on some work stuff. About an hour, and all I ended up with was a silhouette, but i'm pretty happy with it.

Late Night Doodles

In pea green monotones... One day I need to start taking this shit a little bit more seriously.

So I finally got around to posting those canvases, first stab at acrylic since I was a wee one.

Just Finished this- Probably spent way too much time on it for it to end up monochromatic. perspective its pretty ganked too, but I`m overall pretty pumped.

Another power plant

It seems that this topic generator likes power plants. Had fun with this, not really trying to time myself. It came out ok. I could have been more creative witht he factory, and I'm not happy with the giant green blob on the right hand side. I feel like i learned a bit and played around with some techniques I haven't done before. About 60 minutes.
Here goes:

Organic power plant

A organic power plant with shielding
This was supposed to be 35 minutes..it ended up being about 70. I tried a few options for the shield that ended up not working out. I had fun though.

Don't really know what happened with the weird slimy pinkish tentacles, enjoy anyway though-

I also did a gif of my layers. they aren't in order as i tend to slip some layers under others sometimes

Behold!

Just Messing around in Illustrator a bit...
