The Butcher

I wanted to do something quick this week. I use to do this portraits once a week. They were horrible and this turned bad also..... no personality and painted weird. blagh!

Flotsam - GGJ 2012

GGJ 2012. I helped out on art on awesome team this year. It was interesting. I could only help one day though. This is what our awesome team made

Fat Viking

I don't think I did all that well. Lots of mistakes. Trying to attack my weakness. I'm glad I finished it. :)
This is a work in progress. If you have any input please say. thanks

Shapes!

We had homework this week at work. Our concept artist made some shapes and we were suppose to design a character or something with that shapes. These are my shapes I did.It was fun to do something different. I might do this more offten. I get stuck on the same shapes sometimes.

Viking! with an axe...again

Decided to do this character again. I think it looks better, but I still have issues with pose, color and lighting. I might fix this painting some more once I receive input. thanks for looking

Viking! with an axe

So i want to study more lighting and color. I feel this piece is suffering for that.

Figure Drawing

Some figure drawing I've done in the last year. It's been fun.

Vikings_concepts_01

Some vikings I've been drawing. cleaned them up. I need to push my shapes more.

Mushroom dude 2

Another mushroom dude. I think I did alright. Week 5 accomplished.

Bear and Bro

Just some characters i created for a comic i want to do hopefully soon

Mushroom dude

This week I went a little lazy and decided focus on just rendering. I did okay.

Best friends

This was fun to paint. I think i did alright. I got alittle better.

Fairy

I haven't painted anything for awhile. It was fun. This area is lacking for me. I should do illustration instead of static poses.

Concept_08

I think I'll stop posting monsters for awhile. I need to focus on something else. Over all I don't think I did all to well on these. I might color some of the better ones. I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong and right on these. I need to work harder.

Concept_07

More of the same.....my head hurts again.

Concept_06

More monsters. Not sure these are turning out better.

Concept_05

More monsters. I need to push my shapes more.

I need to draw draw draw.

Concept_04

I've been trying to draw better monsters. It's getting there. I showed some artist at comic con my monsters. He said I'm there. :) I need to work harder though.

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

week 2! oh yeah.. i'm kinda missing colors. i think i should do more realistic heads..maybe
