Bear Love

Trying something a little different. I've made the PSD available here (15mb, >=CS3) if you want to check it out.

Haven't had time to sketch for a while with the redevelopment of mindresin going on. It's almost there!

I happened to have cooledit installed (cooledit is oldschool -- what Audition was before Adobe bought it), so I ran a little databending on this sketch. I'll write up a tut on it later since I can't seem to find any coherent ones myself right now.

How Lemmin gets to work

Quick study of a Hezrou in artrage. I have the D&D figurine on my desk (christmas gift from Amy), with the addition of a scarily happy Lemmin Kainen riding it.

Parallaxin'

So the brush setsposted a few weeks ago were created with a specific project in mind;- This site. It's a work in progress, but let me explain what's going on here.

If you load up the site and resize your browser window horizontally, you will notice a lot of the illustration elements slide along independently of each other at different speeds, in what is known as a parallax effect.

The client requested this functionality after seeing the technique used on a previous project that I was commissioned for, Reisa Elva. This time around, instead of computer generated toon-like illustrations, I chose to approach this project in a more traditional manner, with a watercolor style illustration.

Parallax sites as a whole are a fun gimmick (easter egg?), that hopefully people will at least find by accident.

ZeroSuit Samus Aran

Very pleased with how this turned out. It has its obvious flaws but it was a challenging perspective/posture to deal with, and not many people depict our favorite heroine Samus in this style. Click here for a glorious 1920x1200 wallpaper version for your enjoyment.

This took a little under a week in artrage. I greatly enjoy artrage's simplicity and stability in contrast to Painter, and the price tag is a lot more forgiving as well.

Happy Easter.

The burning white hot rage of a thousand angry suns

Media_httplh3ggphtcom_sbavg

Last night I was witness to a rage benchmark that left me in awe. It was so inspirational I had to sketch it down immediately. It was also very understandable.

My dear Mr Fry, although the whole encounter may have been intended as tongue-in-cheek, we can probably avert further upset of legitimate New Orleans residents if we avoid electing a French Quarter 'voodoo priestess' as their representative in an interview.

Other than that, we totally love you.
