Monster party!

My awesome little son turned 1 this week and my wife got crafty and threw him a pretty sweet monster party. My humble contribution to the decor was these little party monsters to hang on the wall. Kind of fun just playing with some simple shapes.

. . .and so the kindly old wizard raised the alien boy as his own son. (9/27/13)

I just felt like writing a really long post title.

Ive been crushed by deadlines the last few months at work and Ive been thoroughly neglecting this blog, so now that I have some time I thought I'd change things up a little for this post and show something that actually pertains to my work as a matte painter. Ive been working on this for fun the last little while and finished it up just the other night. The original image is pretty big (over 6k) so if I'm feeling really ambitious I might project the painting back onto geometry and do a camera move through it to take advantage of that resolution. Meh, probably not.

I've been working insane hours lately but finally got around to drawing something for fun. I started painting him but I'm kind of digging just the black and white look on this one, so here it is:

Not impressed (iPad sketch 3/4/12)

It's been quite awhile but I finally found time to sketch a little something on the old iPad. That little something is your typical, run of the mill nerd.

With a not so fancy breakdown:

Another sketch from another meeting:

Dead Man Walking (iPad sketch 9/18/12)

Me and The wife have been rewatching a couple episodes of walking dead lately (the first episode is still the best in my opinion). Anyway, I thought I'd paint a happy little zombie (obviously i'm channeling bob ross) out for a night stroll.

Jonny Greenwood is awesome (iPad sketch 9/15/12)

As if being one of the greatest guitarists of the modern era wasn't enough, Jonny Greenwood also happens to be a pretty freakin sweet film composer. I just listened to the soundtrack of "The Master" and it's easily on par with his soundtrack for TWBB (that's saying something). Anyways, while I was listening I thought I would do a quick sketch of Jonny rocking out.

Passageway (iPad speedpaint 8/30/12)

Been doing a lot of environment layout concept at work and realized I didn't have any environments on the ol' blog. So here you go.

And now for something completely different

Some abstract color studies I've been doing to warm up. Here are some of the more interesting ones:
