metro sketches

Speaking of bands... Done last night for Soozilla's husband Pete's Steamboat outfit... The Amputators.

I'm more of a house music fan myself, but uh... When in Rome.

Stink Tank

Album cover for a friend. FINALLY finished,

Clay Sketch

This goes along with the sketch in my last post. A few of the artists here at ND have been messing around with Sculpey for fun and inspiration. We have a table set up with some of the forming clay and some assorted tools. I have not really sculpted any thing in years, but was inspired by some quick sculpts that Nate and Kirk were doing. I have this particular sketch set as my desktop here at work, so I just decided to give his cartoony head a go inbetween work tasks... Fun stuff. I went home last night and dug my old stash of Sculpey out...

New Randomness

Logo designed for the Colorado & Wyoming LEGO User Group (of which I am now a member with my superior LEGO building skills - or not). Done in Illustrator. Yep, that's a small cow head made of LEGO. :)

Sketches of Jesus riding a giant spider. Inspired by Cole's tattoo idea.

My son drew a cyclops, I drew a cyclops...

Some strange looking cowboy heads...

And finally, some new ZOMBIES! Wooohooo! :B

More life drawing

Here's the latest o' the life drawings. It's been about 2 months since I went last, so it was good to get back into it. A cool thing about this model is that she's in training to be an olympic triathlete.

Boar-ish head

I'm supposed to draw a super cartoonish boar creature later today so I started by drawing a more realistic one to wrap my brain around it...:)

Ok... this goes straight to the top of my wish list...

Wacom announces a laptop sized version of the cintiq. It was only a matter of time...

Ok Wacom - now just release a price and a US release date please. Only available in Europe beginning November. Boooo.

Marooned

Here's another never used pre-production image from last year. The Marooned piece was one of the first images I did for Space Siege over a year ago when there was talk of having planet side adventures in the game. Ultimately, we decided it was more manageable to have it all take place on one giant generation ship.

Lizard Hat

More cintique fun. The other day I started doodling and ended up with a guy wearing a helmet with a lizard adorned on top. The idea made me laugh so I decided to use it as a basis for some more digital painting practice. I'm not sure if I like the black and white version or the color version more right now.

Early Space Siege Character Sketches

I don't know about you - I love me some iterative art. I enjoy seeing process so I figured I'd share some very early sketches I did for an earlier project. None of these will be used in the final game however they did contribute to the later designs.

Mr. Packrat

I have not had too much to contribute lately, unfortunately. I need to get back on the ball. Here are some sketches I did for a friend one evening this week. He's a packrat. Obvious influence from Ratatouile - hey, Pixar does it right. :) These we're real quick and simple... Cheers!

Cintique

I was planning on doing some coffee shop drawin' today but couldn't get any drawing companions. Instead, I decided to head into work and play with the ol' cintique. This is what came out of the random subject generator today.

Edit: Love the new header Ray, looks great. I took your advice about the contrast thing and played with the levels a bit. Much better, when i made it originally it was in a dark office.

Final Batman

UPDATE! I've added a process sequence over on my blog: http://raylederer.blogspot.com/2007/10/batman-process.html

Here's the final for the commission piece. I spent way to long on this. I learned much from it that I hope to apply to more interesting subjects later...:)



This was the section I enjoyed the most. I was able to play with textures in some unexpected ways...

I picked up some good things from this. Eh... I don't know... hopefully the next one won't be so ham fisted. Thanks for looking! -R

Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier MOVIE!

Oh hell yeah!
