WIP Bear and Brown animation pitch

This is what I've been working on lately. An animation pitch story. It's been hard work. I've learned a lot and I am not done. The three main characters are Brown, Bear and the small girl. The car belongs to Bear(the dude) and Brown(the Bear) rides in the back. The old man sage is a drug dealer and gives out magic drugs. Crazy stuff happens The Dude with the lantern is a homeless guy. I have not figured out what he'll be doing. Maybe some type of guide to weird worlds. I've mostly figured out Bear and Brown. I am having trouble with the design of the girl. I'll be finishing this up and designing their enviornments. Hope to learn more and get better.

Bullrilla

Challenge for work. I need to find a new way to paint.

Concept_03

I did 31 sketchbook pages of this character. I learned some. He's a character for a illustration I'm going to do. Then i will storyboard out a story for him. Plan is to have a new portfolio by the end of next year. I hope I can make it

Faces week 8

Which ones you like best and why? Which ones are bad and why? Thanks for looking

Concept_02

Some sketchbook drawings. I like drawing monsters! I need to push the shapes more though. I think these are okay..

Concept_01

Not sure what I will do with this character. It was going to be for a comic, but I don't really have a story worth telling. I might make him in 3d or maybe putting him in an art book. Not sure yet. The expressions are alright. The expression look more like different angles than expressions. The gestures seem stiff. I need to push the guestures more. Over all I'm taking a step towards a right direction with my art. I'm happy.

Fairy Girl

I want to go to japan and do anime! I did this peice for fun( a joke). Wanted to do a different stlye and make it cute. I took to long to finish it. I need to get faster.

lady

I suck at real faces so i painted a real face. I did alright.. A good first try i think. I am proud. I see some problems...

Happy KId

I've been working on kid concepts for a comic i might do. This kid looks sorta cute, but I think if i were to use him in a comic i would to mess with shapes more.. i think he is to general.

Mr. Robert Stanly

I am not sure what he does, but he kicks ass doing it. He looks like some type of professional that enjoys his work. I think i did alright... I want to say some negative things, but I won't. It's an alright painting.

Cowboy in 3D!

I decided to make the cowboy painting in 3d. I hope I can make it awesome. I might make it to a full character depending how this goes. :) Thanks for looking

Scooter Power!

I just got back from Comic Con and I am very thankful I was able to go. Thank you to the person that gave me that ticket. I had a lot of fun. I met awesome artist and I was able to talk to them. I aslo hanged with friends that I been wanting to get to know more about. Over all it was a very positive expierence for me. Like I said before I am very thankful. :)

Now I come back to Salt lake with no job and having no idea what I'll do with my life. I am very scared and frustrated. I've worked hard for many years ...and to be nowhere...I really don;t know what to do. Anyways I finally finished my scooter. I think it's an alright 3d... nothing

special. I'll have to think what I did right and what I did right. Hope everyone is doing awesome thanks for looking

I'm a cowboy

More of the same. Tried different styles and brushes.

Figure Crap 02

Im not seeing improvements....

Bus art.

I go to work in orem. I take the bus so i have time to draw. I do ten pages of hands, ten pages of doodles, and ten pages of figuresa month. Plus figure drawing every satuday and my faces. i don't feel like i am getting better.. but what ever i'll keep drawing cause i like it.

Crap faces week 7

another poop week. I'm getting tired of doing these.

Crap faces week 6

I failed this week.. I didn't push myself or try to get out of my zone. Keep going joe.. work harder.

Crap faces week 5

They have the same expression! hah I didn't notice it until now, but i think i did some good.. just push shapes more and give more expessions i guess.

Crap faces week 4

I had some good input this week from things I am doing wrong. One is that my style is sorta in between of realistic and cartoony and the viewer isn't sure what i am trying to show. If it's going to be cartoonish i should push my shapes more. the other thing was... my faces sometimes don't have the right constuction.. they are to deformed. these are things I'll be working on more. I aslo copied one of Sam nielsons designs. I am trying to understand what shapes they use better. :)

Crap faces week 3

S

more quick faces. I need to push the design more and look why stuff is apealing.. and also not repeat the same thing over .

Figure Crap 01

I've been going to the u of u for figure every saturday. this is some of the drawings i've done. I'm really having a hard time creating what i want. over all i i think its alight art. I need to find more time to practice gestures and figures.

Crap faces week 2

Forrest Creature 3D

Another piece I've been stuck on, but I finished it :) I liked taking concept art to 3d . that was fun. I learned some zbrushing mistakes on this piece. I had other problems that I don't really know how to fix though. But thats okay I'm just glad to have this done

Best Friend 3d

I'm glad I am finally done with this. I had a lot of trouble...At first this model had no cloths... I thought it looked very boring...then I put cloths on him and it still looked bad... I changed the color of the cloths and messed in zbrush. I think it turned out alright... Its a good step forward. I want to get good so can model characters for videogames.. I have a ways to go. Thanks for looking.

Princess

I did alright. Took me awhile to paint this. I think I have anatomy issues. I tried to make this exciting and fun. Thanks for looking

WIP

I seem to mess up on my paintings on the planning phase. I just jump into the painting without thinking... So this is me planning. Thanks for looking

The Monster Dude

I had trouble wanting to finish this piece. I saw problems that i didn't like. The design and pose. It's stiff. I was going for a depressed feeling. I think I did okay. I kinda like the character. I think he has alittle charm.

Young Lady

I don't know how the crap i am going to get a job with the shit i am creating. There is no way I am going to ever get good. I am upset.

Mr. 25 cents

More practice. It was funs.

3d insect.

hmm i think I did okay. Good little start. I had fun.. I learned. Thanks for looking

The Business lady

I was painting this and then got sick with a kidney stones.... it was terrible. .. I was super motivated before and now i don't want to do any art anymore.. blah

The Nerdy Guy

Disney Bought who!?!?!?!? Another weird painting. I feel a lot better about this one than my last painting. I know I'm repeating my self doing portait paintings...which is a problem..I'll have to change something... Maybe do them in different styles.... I don't know I'll have to think about it. Last month I don't know what was wrong.. All i wanted to do is sleep all day.. I couldn't tell if I was just sick or depressed. Hopefully this month is nicer to me. Thanks for looking.

Mrs. Crack Whore

I think is my worst painting so far, but it was fun to paint. I feel i did alot of things wrong...that okay though. Hopefully my next one turns out better

Storyboard

This is a story I will be working on to improve. I did this story 3-4 years ago. A few years ago i was really getting into story, but then I became director of a senior project's film called Greetings. We worked on the project for 3-4 years. The story had a lot of trouble..so after the project was over I was depressed I was a bad story teller and didn't want to do stories anymore. Anyways I think I want to do stories again. I have a long ways to improve and I am looking forward to it.

I wanted to post this to see what people thought. What things I could improve and what works well. I think the begining and the very end work well....The rest some parts don't make sense. I already have some ideas of how to fix. Anyways thanks for looking.

The Crazy Weird Dude

another joe Painting. I got to keep pushing if i want to get better. Yooo Joe!!!!

The Church Lady

WIP

Miss Blue

More practice. I'm glad I am doing these more often. They're not so special, but what’s important to me that I am getting better(hopefully). Thanks for looking.
