Fun fish Friday

I thought about doing a scary piece(I still might) but figured today was a fish day.

Second in the series...

Here is the second sports illustration spot for an ad firm. I think I will do lacrosse next..

Sketch time!!!

Doing this piece as a continuation of the sports concepts. Lots more to come.

WIP...

I finally have almost completed this piece. I am hoping that it will be part of a much larger grouping of sports. We will see. 

Process page...

I am working on a series of sports poses and am recording the process to which I use when rendering the art. I am at the 70% stage. I will now render the character. Usually I would stop here and move on as I like the loose feeling and line work shown. However, in the realm of illustration work one must bow to the mighty client and give them what they have paid for. I will post the final when complete.

Wip alert!!!!

I am doing work for NASA and am getting the feel for the vintage space program. This piece is a sketch that I am going to go to finish on. Here is the preliminary sketch:)

Doggie rendering...

Here is the lab piece I have been working on:) I am almost finished. I love doing the animals...makes me feel good.

Finished spot with process page:)

I finally got my Cintiq:))) There is no substitute! Here is the first thing I did....pirate fun:))) I have also included a process page. I work different every time(within reason) so eventually I will have to iron down a video. Enjoy!

Two WIP's!

I am currently in the midst of two pieces. I wanted to have a little bit more into a character so I am posting the turtle character I am working on. I am also doing a cool seasonal piece:) I will post the finals when complete.

Afternoon post:))

So here is my afternoon sketch exercise. I think that I am in need of more structure. Like a series...not sure where to start. 

Logo and corporate identity

There are times when I love my job and there are times when I like my job. As an artists one might assume that i am always"having fun" or that I should do art for someone because that is what I like to do. It is always work unless I am doing it for myself:)))) That being said I really like doing logos. They are easy for me and I actually like developing them. Here is a perfect example of a logo that went through many generations of changes before the client landed on a choice. this is a collection of that evolution:)

Finished zombie art:)))

Wrapped up a zombie piece. I am also working on a headless horseman piece that is going to be epic:)))) 

Character post.

Here is another sketch:) Friday is here!!!!!!

Tuesday post

Tuesday....not much to say about this day. It is usually the day that art bombs hit my desk. Yes...I have already had a big bomb this morning. Alas...this is the moment I had to breathe.

Weekend blues.

So I am seeing that the weekend is not being kind tom the sketch blog. I seem not to have a lot of time to sketch or even think of sketching because of weekend adventures with the family or work. So...I think I will adjust a few things and try to for the weekend in as well. Change is sometimes painful:) Anyway...here are a couple real quick concept sketches for a baseball piece that i am doing.
