Michael Turner

I just recently learned of the passing of Michael Turner, while I never met him on a direct personal level. I had the chance to speak with him and discuss my own artwork at San Diego Comic Con back in 2005. Michael was a great guy and I feel honored to have had a chance to meet him and talk to him for a short while about my own work.

Whether you liked his work or not I am sure everyone that knew him or at least knew of his work will agree that he was a great guy and a talented individual nonetheless.

I always enjoyed picking up one of his books, even if it was only for the covers as I enjoyed his style and design on either his own characters or those within other books.

He will be missed.

Disney announces ten animated films through 2012

Interesting, there is some very interesting subjects being tackled through 2012, one that really grabbed my eye was "Up" since it has Pete Doctor attached to it, and I am a big fan of both his student work and Monsters Inc.
Interested to see how the 2D is brought back into the line with all the 3D out there.

Hulk too big for 8.5 x 11 paper!!!

Yes, I ran out of room.

I am IRON MAN!

Since the movie is out soon, thought this would be necessary!

3D Structures

Two projects I am working on for my portfolio. One is just a simple castle/fortress that I have started to expand upon and mapping some materials on to it. The other is the boathouse from LOST, where Locke stashes whats his face...cant recall name.

Doodlin over the month

Just some additions to the blog from the past month, feel like I haven't drawn at all lately.

Enjoy!

Inks and Three Process...movin' on to colors!

The title kind of says it all so without further comment, the inks and all three together!

Sketch 2 - Tighter!

Tightened up the sketch from yesterday and added the effect to the background, the whole thing will be the character emerging from fire so there will be a lot of effects added later once the character is solid!

Sketch 1

Starting from scratch, this one will be updated from sketch to final...no time frames of how long though so you will just have to wait!

Environments - Day One!

So I am playing around with what I can do within a 3D Space and environments, the first is a simple wall and then a wall with some damage, just testing to see how the map works on the wall on each edge and face. Enjoy!

Sketchin it up!

A few poses and sketches, just trying to capture the right feel of the character for this image, not sure yet which one, if any I want to choose from this selection.

Updating the Portfolio

So I think I got the page idea design squared away, now it is just the long process of updating and including all the images I have to add since I havent dont this in a while. Fingers crossed for having this done by Friday....below is a sample of two of the pages. I am also hoping on getting this made up as a sketchbook for purchase as well.

Enjoy!
