Gaolers Character Study: Blackbird

Here is one of the characters from the comic I'm doing.  His name is Blackbird.  I like his boots :D

Gaolers Comic

Hey so here is some character faces for a comic I'm working on for fun.  Old west people like to bite hay and twigs and stuff right?

Project "Idol"

Another building study for Project "Idol".  Isometric grids are evil, but drawing little houses is not.

Sketching and Practicing

I've been trying to practice my environmental drawings by doing some architecture studies.  The ram and the female face studies are just for funzies.

That's pretty nifty :D

Khal Drogo Portrait

So I have been wanting to do some fan art for the Game of Thrones series so I made a portrait of Khal Drogo after his death.  He endlessly wanders the lands waiting to be reunited with the "moon of his life." Plus he rides a cool demon horse!

Update!

Hooray! I have finally graduated!  So now the real work begins.  I am working with a small team to get a game demo out by the end of summer, Ill try to finish that darned last Dr. Nimbus Comic, and I've got a personal piece on the way soon.  It looks like they took down my Huey and Sara animatic because I had music playing that I didn't have permissions for.  Rubbish. Ill toss up silent one soon. Thanks for all the support everyone!  Now I'm going to submit my work to EEEEVVVVERRRYYOOONNNEEEE......

Huey and Sara Animatic

So I forgot to put this up here when I finished it, nothin fancy.
Music by Feist, added tunes by me.

Splinter Transformation

Here is a quick study I did of the Splinter to Little Thing transformation.

Roger 3D Model

So I also modeled Roger.  Every time I model I learn more things so while this model isn't everything I wanted it to be, it also was a great learning experience.  

A Few More Things....

Final Character Lineup

This is a splinter design.  He is the "possessed" version of the Little Defender.

This is a rework of the very first piece I did this year.

And I reworked some of this a little too.

Tangent Streets Revamp

Revamp part 3!

Mother Revamp

Revamp of the Mother character!

The Other Revamp

Hey I redid this guy!

Final Illustration of Senior Year!

My final piece of senior year. I still have one more character design to finish though. This is Roger's safe place. Also, his save point. Surrounded by kings, idols of his latent ideal self.

Updated!

Hey all you wonderful people. I finally updated, so go check out stuff! If you want to see all my work for my thesis, just click on the THESIS LABEL to the left. Oh and this is my business card front and back. Don't go to the site since it is not quite done yet. Wooo!

Tangent Streets

New Environment! This one I polished more. These are the Tangent Streets, an area Roger goes to after the Gardens of Calm but before the Land of Fear. It's a city made up of nothing but doors. Some lead to rooms, others lead to other doors, some lead nowhere. I also needed a piece without fall colors in my portfolio.

By The Way...

...did you know I was modeling Roger?

Father and Brother Characters

So I decided that the family characters were all going to have some sort of green and gold on them to identify them as characters that are connected. The brother character above is met when Roger gets to The Land of Fear up in the sky which eventually turns into the Hope Islands. His bow is made of heart-string which he eventually gives Roger to upgrade his weapon. The father character acts as a guide through the Maze of Anxiety which turns into the Gardens of Calm. He gives Roger his shepherds staff once it is repaired.

Materials and Weapons Sheet

More stuff! Above is a materials sheet that juxtaposes the look and feel of Roger's mind when it's all happy vs when it's all...not. The bottom dishes are full of what the enemies (splinters) are made of and what the friendly AI (little things) are made of. The bottom piece is a layout of the designs for Roger's censer weapon including his final weapon (the red one). Enjoy!

Quick Environments

So one of the projects for the second semester that I wanted to work on were quick environment sketches. Each of these took me about 4-5 hours which may sound like a lot, but that is really good for me. They aren't worked up to polish but that's okay. I wanted to see what I could accomplish in that amount of time in terms of lighting info, mood, and space. The top one is Roger in the Want Marshes at the bottom level of the inside out tower. The bottom pic is of a later area called the Hope Islands where Roger's mind is way up in the sky.

Mother Final

Okay so I've been bad about posting this semester, but no more! Here is the final of the mother character. She has a few edits ahead of her but nothing too drastic. She meets roger in a greenhouse inside the Tower of Ascension once it turns inside out. She gives him a new cloak.
