My 2011 Star Wars Fan Film is Finished. It is up at
AtomFilms.com

It's not included under the Star Wars Fan Film Challenge Section yet. I'm wondering if they are waiting for an official kickoff. Not really quite sure what's going on there?
But it is up, and you can view it.

I'm really happy with how it turned out. Scott Beehner wrote the script and directed the voice talent along with providing the voices for some of the main characters. I handled all the art...character designs, layout, animation etc... my friend Bill Homan did a killer job on the Audio/Editing side of things. So...go check it out!

Iron Man AI

2010-03-26T11:58:00.001-07:00

Experimenting with Illustrator Brushes. AC/DC doing the soundtrack to Iron Man II, how great is that?

Pulling Inspiration from Frank Millar's Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again.
Looking at how crazy he got with that book, taking classic characters and just really pushing the design of the characters and Energy and Abstract Colors.

Captain America AI

2010-03-17T09:20:00.001-07:00

Sketchup Tests

2009-07-24T14:41:00.001-07:00

Getting some more Practice with Google's Free SketchUp program.
Trying for the 'baked clay' look.
I really need to purchase a rendered to get the full scale effect of that look.
This weeks I tried two different Rederers: Podium and IDX.
Both are the Free Versions....so these rendered images are REALLY small.
If I were to go with one...probably Podium.. $79 for the Teachers edition.
The Left Images are based off of a concept sketch from the Art of Incredibles book, the INSURICARE buildings.
The Top Right is a model from Google Sketchup's Warehouse of: Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion.
I can see where this program is could used in production piplines....it's pretty quick to get a building made...
complex models take longer of course....
But for perspective and guides for Bg's that are used over and over or need to be drawn from differernt views: HUGE time saver.
Ie: Ships or More complicated structures.

The Gambler

2009-05-21T14:59:00.000-07:00

Angel and the badman--Johnny Cash

There was a man whose deeds were dark as night
And quite by chance he rode into the light
A man wild as the dust devil with no place to run livin' by his wits and by his gun
He met a girl like none he had ever known she cared not for the wild oats he had sown

And so he laid his gun down and set his spirit free began living in respectability
But his old ways of thinkin' wouldn't die could not forget the old creed he lived by
And the good and bad and right and wrong kept fightin' for his soul
Till his heart and mind both went out of control

But now the old saloon had lost its spell what once was laughter now was living hell
And the hookers guns and drinkin' in his life were out of place
And in his mind he saw an angel's face
So he burned all his bridges in a day and the devil deeds were done and laid away
And he rode out a better man than when he first rode in
And the angel got the badman in the end

Last Son of Krypton

2008-09-17T09:24:00.000-07:00

Trying to decide if I want to purchase a Cintiq or not. I know there are a fair amount of artist moving in this direction.

I have a Wacom which I use on a daily basis...coloring, design animation etc...typically I will sketch on paper and then scan that in. This was my first piece completely drawn digitally. Working with the PS brush settings.

It's a little tricky...because I am looking at the screen and not where my hand is going...when working on paper you can see where your hand is going...same with a Cintiq tablet...but I am not going to invest the money into a Cintiq tablet until I am confident in my 'Digital' sketching skills on my Wacom.

2008-09-10T09:13:00.001-07:00

Continuing on with the Deadwood Sketches: Cy Toliver.
This is an assignment I've given to myself to
1. Continue to improve on and maintain a consistant personal style
2. After a doing a number of these...see if the last one is better than the first/gauge imporvement.
3. Experiment with textures...trying to implement the halftone pattern and color in an astatically pleasing/interesting way.
4. I chose to do the Deadwood characters becasue 1.Huge fan of the series..so doing all of these should hold my interest. 2. Wanted to play with the Western genre some more.
5. Experiment with different PS brushes

Went with a limited color palette on this one.... inspired by the coloring in The Punisher #61 from Marvel's MAX line...threw in a halftone pattern in the back and pretty happy with the results.
