Memory drawings and...

2010-08-14T10:53:00.001-07:00

some made up ones and one from a photo.

More cartoons and Old Memory drawings

2010-08-01T15:45:00.000-07:00

First drawing is about two years old and everything else has been sitting in my drawer for a while(probably a year) until I decided to color them recently. Not alot of people like color pencils or color sticks but think there fast and fun and beats coloring them in photoshop. I waste to much time with the technical preparation and bla bla. This is more hands on and fun and quicker for me.

cartoon bears

2010-08-01T15:42:00.000-07:00

Some old bear drawings that I found and decided to color with color sticks.

Mule model

2010-07-18T21:06:00.000-07:00

A model I'm doing for somebody more than likely for free just trying to earn my place. I hit a brick model with this model as with all my models at the texturing stage. Its all unwrapped I just need to learn to texture.

Ive been really busy at work and everytime I take a picture of an inpark I lke it but then change my mind decide not to post it. Well I need to stop hiding behind my doodles before summers over.

Posted new pictures of drawings my coworkers did of me on my other blog too cheak it out.

Doodles and drawings from the graveyard

2010-07-18T20:47:00.000-07:00

Warren Pemberton

90 percent of the stuff I draw are doodles, cute customer drawings and coworker drawings and while Ive been throwing away alot of my doodles or giving away alot of my coworker drawings. Here are some doodles and drawings that were still floating around in my room. I have alot more and I'm going to try to maybe develop some of those more. I'm so bad at updating this year Most of this stuff is ancient and from last year.

hamster champs

2010-07-18T20:36:00.000-07:00

Something I did for my brothers for a school project months ago. This was an illustatrion based on the characters from the childrens book Hamster champs by Stuart J. Murphy and illustrated by Pedro Martin . This was part of there display board. This is a cropped picture of the drawing since my camera was broken at the time. I used airbrush and colored pencils.

new and old 3d

2010-06-08T17:36:00.000-07:00

Some of the content is old school stuff, along with some new character models I want to further compleate. But for know since Im lacking the technical and artistic ability to do so so Ill leave it as it is for now. All models are done by me except for plane model which was modeled by David Feng. I Just animated the the quick sequence and modeled the planes engine

Some old caricatures from summer

2009-11-12T10:05:00.000-08:00

Above from top to bottom "The big lebowski", "New Star trek", Jay leno, Dave letterman.

The bottom reference photos are from http://thedrawersblock.blogspot.com/ (except for chris chuas photo from his blog). An awesome blog that dan hay and ken knafou started also check out code 11 on kens blog it a great ongoing comic about kamans life and life as a caricature artist.

I still have have ambivalent feeling about doing retail caricatures. Ive been trying to mostly to kiss peoples ass on my in parks.

One of the few people actually doing real caricatures at universal is probably this guy http://worangejuice.blogspot.com/

In my opinion one of our most underrated and creative artist at universal. He just started doing airbrush about a month ago but man this guy is just picking it up like nothing, his stuff is really fun loose and full of energy and personality. This guy just keeps getting better.

(Oh yeah I posted three time today so keep scrolling down.)

2009-11-12T09:50:00.000-08:00

Me just goofing around at work like always with a lack of direction. I did these a along time at work and thought it would be fun if I colored the one that is suppose to be me in photoshop. Yeah I should of been wolverine not hugh jackman that guy is too much of a pretty boy..... Im the real shit haha, how wolverine really is short hairy, cannine teeth, a loner , and full of conflict dissapointment in his life.

here we go again

2009-11-12T09:40:00.000-08:00

Either drawn directly on my sketch book or drawn on work paper then pasted on my sketchbook. Mostly from the mark simon book and little dan hay and ken knafou

For no particular reason

2009-10-26T12:42:00.000-07:00

Just goofing around and trying to make sure I dont forget about drawing even though I want to get really focused on 3d modeling.

small update

2009-10-23T23:34:00.000-07:00

My energy has been drained by my obligations but I was able to slip a little more detail on this model too.

inside joke

2009-10-15T19:43:00.000-07:00

I drew this in my sketchbook a while ago and decided to color in real quick in photoshop, I just had to get it out of my system but don't want to get too distracted from modeling.

If you work with me maybe you can recognize who these guys are.

another modeling wip

2009-10-13T17:51:00.000-07:00

yeah, yeah, I know, I will evntually finish all of these. Just want to keep updating thats all. I have A.D.D. I work better this way but Ill finish them.

back to cartoons for a sec

2009-10-08T11:39:00.000-07:00

I got my scanner to work again. So heres a some practice heads while at work recently. Just trying to come up with different head variations. I used some prexisting characters so I can just have fun and focus on the heads.

dam dam this cheese takes forever!!!!

2009-09-23T15:55:00.000-07:00

and my computer keeps crashing. (I only spent 300 dollars on my new hardrive)

Another blocked out character that will be refined in z brush. Now I just need atleast 300 dollars for a wacom tablet and get z-brush and learn it fast.

I had previoulsly curled the hands and refined the face more but I kept having problems with my computer and lost the that version. I just wanted to upload something and give my eyes a rest for a bit. Model sheet is in deviant art.

still working things out

2009-08-31T11:42:00.000-07:00

Summer is over. So ill have more time to update my blog. This was the first summer in a long time that I really did nothing but work.

So I'm still working these out. the finished models will be done on Z-brush.

more work in progressssss

2009-08-11T14:13:00.000-07:00

Ive been working alot at the theme park and havent really had much time for 3d but heres a sneak peak at what I have so far on this other model.

old model that I will remodel

2009-08-11T14:04:00.000-07:00

I did this 2 years ago. but didn't get to finish it because my computer fucked up on me. I also lost the original file. So im going to remodel this again this year. I posted this before but Im just trying to get myself excited about 3d again.

Recently I worked nine days in a row at work becuase of summer but will try to gain stride again in 3d. and post more drawings as well.

I broke my camera so I havent been able to take picture of my park drawings. Too bad becauase Ive done quite a few that I was actually proud of this summer.

Character block in for Z-brush

2009-06-20T14:28:00.000-07:00

A character I blocked out in maya. I plan to add detail in zbrush. Work has been kicking my ass this weeks working six days this week and working long summer hours.

Crayola Marker frenzy

Crayola marker sketches, more airbrush practice

2009-04-28T21:43:00.000-07:00

Gabriel

These were all done with either brown or black crayola markers. All of the air brush drawings are from 2 months ago except for the Obama sketch( I stop airbrush and was strictly only on color sticks to make more money and now have returned to learn a/b more. I think Obama was ok but the lines on michelle came out really slooooopy ,(thanks crayola markers) Anyway the other 2 color stick sketches are just drawings I did of a couple of coworkers. Ed hates the one I did of him ,so ill post it anyway because I did really draw him pretty gay by accident. Sorry dude.

For the most part Im still mostly on color sticks but started getting a/b again about once or twice a week.

Fashion

2009-04-23T10:13:00.000-07:00

This is something I'm doing for somebody. I did a few other wardrobe variations but these are the last two that Ive done. All I'm doing is changing the wardrobe based on what they want. The good thing is that I only had to draw one chick template and just keep changing her clothes. I really don't pride myself in drawing girls and its something that I want to get better at. That's why I try to avoid posting any chick drawings, but I really do try drawing girls when I can. ...I'm not getting paid that much, but its good lunch money.

Right now I'm really not digging caricatures. I mean its better than any office or call center job but it definitely doesn't pay more, for me anyway. Other than that our boss has had us drawing with crayola markers. Most of time we run out of the black ones so Ive been using the brown ones alot. Ill post some really cute caricatures(of actuall guest with there picture) in the future I need to get back to doing parties since Ill be getting my license back soon and ill be alot more mobile.

Sketchbook part 2

2009-03-18T22:52:00.001-07:00

I don't really have direction as to why I'm doing this......REALLY its just to draw. I'm just trying to exercise drawing from memory, but I am having fun drawing on construction paper. WOW no caricatures!!!!

Construction paper sketchbook

2009-03-14T19:53:00.000-07:00

I always wanted to draw and color on construction paper. .......Really I haven't done it since elementary school. Just trying to remember what it was like to be a kid again and try something different . For me it was kind of experimenting since i didn't know how the colors would react to the construction paper based on the background color.

I needed to update this blog so here's some sketchbook pages and Ill post some airbrush stuff in the future.

Trying to learn airbrush

2009-02-20T20:00:00.000-08:00

I suck so much I created all the splattered paint on the one drawing on here, I think it makes all the over spray blend in more with the picture. Well I think Ill get the hang of it eventually. The little sketchy anteater looking creature was inspired by splattered paint. The guy with the glasses is suppose to be a stylized version of me. I used a little of the art sticks to color the glasses a bit. I forgot to put some highlights on the glasses. Its ok I'm just posting this to check my progress from week to week.

Old designs, touched up

2009-02-08T16:27:00.000-08:00

Some old ideas that are hibernating because my computer can't handle running maya. I decided to touch up the bird character and I decided to add the rest of the detail I originally intended to have on the hog creature,but was to lazy to draw in the first time around because I thought I could just use photo reference when modeling the leather straps and wagon instead of drawing them in too.

As Ive said numerous times before eventually I'm going to model these characters in 3d(along with others posted here before). With more delay Ill probably end up coloring them too and then redesigning them a million times more. Well defitnetly need to color the bird creature to have a sense for the texture hes going to have. In the meantime Ill keep looking for a steady stable job that will help me financially in fixing my computer. (Or get a new one) Really I don't mind going back to working at a call center or any job that will help finance what I have in mind. Please help me god I feel I'm stuck in sand.

Good thing is that I'm learning airbrush now and Ill should be ready for spring break when its busy next month. The bad thing as all caricature know is that you won't see that fucken phat spring break check until the beginning of April in most cases. I can't really plan anything out, but hopefully things will get better.

Dam back to more heads.

2009-02-05T20:54:00.000-08:00

Im falling behind on post's so here's the usual black and white heads Ive been known for posting.

disturbing symmetry

2009-01-20T20:07:00.000-08:00

An old idea I colored in recently.

More big noses

2009-01-13T12:25:00.000-08:00

I'm always hesitant about showing any kid of celeb caricatures because of what I know, and seen in the past. So this is me just doing my own renditions and trying to ignore all the amazing artwork done on some of these people. "You can't compare yourself to nobody but yourself." Bobby Chiu.

This is me just me just practicing. The redborder sketches are celebs and the black border ones are of coworkers. Ill show pictures of them in the future when I do another one and get a better likeness.

Joe Torres/Co worker

2009-01-13T12:19:00.000-08:00

This is my coworker eating my leg off. I accidently took the picture at an angle and thats why I decided to show the edges . Ill draw him more in the future and show you guys a picture.

New posting

2008-11-02T22:32:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I use ref and some times I make it up, my last post was done using reference this was was done without ref. I honestly never draw bears so I'm surprised they even look like bears since no ref was used.

Oh these are some drawings from work, done with markettes.

Color will be posted on DeviantArt

2008-10-27T15:36:00.000-07:00

This is an idea I’ve had for a while and was playing around with the design but eventually kind of went back to what I originally wanted the design to look like. Started of as a rough idea and then it was traced a modified a few times before I arrive at this. Don't be surprise if I change it again. I tend to do that alot. The color version should be posted on deviant today or sometime this week, I hope.

Trying to keep it up

2008-10-24T19:26:00.000-07:00

Here are some of the drawings I did for myself this past thur and wed. I got a little messy on putting these together but its ok.

The kind of drawings that my boss likes trashing

2008-10-17T22:17:00.000-07:00

Yeah so he never saw these.......................... I'm disappointed to say these were done before summer (about in May )as warm ups. I was also hoping I would get transferred over to airbrush but it never happened. Most of them were done using Mark simon ref book. and only took between 8-10 min each with no under sketching(straight marker to paper). I try to focus more on funny or unique expressions instead of exaggeration and I still can't believe the previous post are drawings that ive done more recently. Money speaks . I really need to get moved over to airbrush, DAMMIT.

By the way the economy is really bad..... and usually about this time of year I try to find another job even if its a non art job because of the offseason. But it seems that even reg jobs are hard to get right now. So It looks like I will have to focus more on marketing myself as a caricature artist. Something Ive always feared even though caricatures are fun I would like to find some solid and stable one day (Hopefully maybe in the 3d field LOL but even then that still doesn't seem promising either)So if you know anybody or need to hire a caricature artist for your next awesome event let me know at wizzardblitz@netzero.com

Demos that were not destroyed by my boss

2008-10-17T21:53:00.001-07:00

Some demos I did over the summer. Three of them I was able to hang up. A few other's that aren't on here didn't make it. Nothing too wild just wanted to keep it funny enough that people would know it was a cartoon but not too goffy otherwise my boss would tear it up. Man I forgot I was doing caricatures.

An attempt at Sean Gardner color demo

2008-10-17T21:22:00.000-07:00

and I failed!!!!!!!!. I still think I learned some stuff from doing it. The first drawing is a Sean Gardner drawing I just redrew to attempt his color demo he has on his blog at http://sgcaricatures.blogspot.com/ The other two drawings were just made up quickly to practice his coloring method. I'll try it again sometime. Was done a real long time. The demo was posted a few months ago on his blog. Thank you Sean

Trying to catch up on lack of post

2008-10-09T23:06:00.000-07:00

Some drawings I did at work with "markettes" to get myself warmed up. Also just trying to catch up on lack of post.

Sketchbook

2008-10-06T15:11:00.000-07:00

Decided to post me just practicing some anatomy. And some rough sketches that I will finish and eventually post. Still not sure on the design especially on the one that looks like master splinter. The girl drawing was too big to scan so I left alot out. There some fun caricatures that i did before the start of the summer that i will post once I get a camera.

2008-09-09T20:57:00.001-07:00

drawings from work....and some drawings that should be uploaded in deviant art in color @ davidreyes.deviantart.com

today at work

2008-09-03T22:35:00.000-07:00

The paper size at work has gotten to almost 11 by 7 . All of these heads were drawn really small with markettes.

The good thing about drawing small is that you get better control and finer line quality when you draw bigger. It forces you to concentrate as well. Although these are mediocre drawings I can say I didn't have this good of control of the pen about a year or 2 ago especially at the size I'm drawing these heads.

If you don't believe me try drawing a 3 by 3 drawing with a wet market or sharpie, if you haven't done it before I'm sure its hard as hell and for those who have, you know it takes lots of practice.

Leftovers

2008-08-29T22:28:00.001-07:00

Extra sketches I had left over that I scanned and threw up here since i feel bad I didn't draw today. So many things going on, and you can only do so much to resolve them (all of them do not include drawing).

"Life won't wait"

2008-08-24T23:09:00.001-07:00

Is one of my favorite Rancid cd's along with "out came the wolves". The idea(Life won't wait ) seems to be more predominantly relevant than it has ever been in my life. Theres just not enough hours in the day to do all the things that you want to do in the day. Working 6 consecutive

13 hour days does not help.

Also I finally uploaded a reel of some of my 3d at the following link, if anybody wants to check it out. http://www.vimeo.com/1593414 The stuff is really outdated but its all I have now. Could of been nice to have maya though to add some lighting and textures to some of the stuff.

Still updating whatever

2008-08-12T10:19:00.001-07:00

Not my favorite batch of doodles from the last 2 weeks but I lost the ones I was going to post. I forgot them at work and someone must of thrown them away. But its ok I'm use to my boss throwing away my drawing and taking down my demos and ripping them up. No time for color haven't had much time for anything else. I mean I work 13 hours a day plus the commute time that eats into my life of getting there and coming back. While on my days off this weekend I went to san diego to draw for a gig. All this time Im really upset for not updating my deviant account. Since my boss won't read this I'm also looking at other opportunities and hopefully one will open up before the end of the summer.

memory sketch and some doodles.

2008-07-29T13:22:00.000-07:00

Ill skip the diary this time and just keep trying to update once a week. First drawing is a memory sketch and the rest are small doodles from work done with a marker. The last two drawings are sketches I will eventually color and post on my deviant account. Davidreyes.deviantart.com

Drawings between work drawings.

2008-07-18T20:49:00.000-07:00

Im just trying hard to remain consistent on posting weekly. All of these are from work. The first five are from walk by's from people inside the park. Ive been trying to just really generalize the people I see. I usually look at them for a sec and try to rememeber what I can and make up the rest. One thing that Ive been trying to stick by when coloring is not to spend more time than it actually took me to draw the drawing which is maybe a about a minute or two but since Im slow at coloring and I dont have a fancy wacom tablet like everybody else its been taking me about 10 -15 minutes to color these. Oh yeah and there were also drawn with markets.

The last thing on here are a few profiles that I did at work. Hopefully ill be able to buy a digital camera before the end of the summer so I can post actual inpark drawings of guest. The good thing is that I feel that Im lossening up again(with my actuall park sketches that I sell). At the beggining of the season I had a my boss watch me like a hawk criticizing me at every opportunity about how goofy my drawings are and that I need to draw more conservative and make the customer happy. At the beggining of the season I was actually drawing people really safe and keeping it cute and that was still too edgy for him. I was really frustated because I was forced to practice my mediocre sketch and it really reflected on this blog for a bit. But now it seems that he has backed off and Ive been feeling like im lossening up alot more again. Maybe it was working with my old seaworld buddy bill drastal. I promise myself to get alot loser and fucken draw real cartoons none of this quick wannabee watered down portraitures. Well maybe Ill draw something more realistic in the future just to prove to myself that I can.

Ill try to post in my deviant account soon. In the meantime theres a little sketch before this post.

Concept

2008-07-18T19:42:00.000-07:00

Heres a concept for a character that I did at work a few months ago and re-hatched while looking through all my junk. My awesome boss was cool enough to almost throw away the original marker drawing that I did at work. The reason I didn't post the original was because it was too big to scan. So I ended up drawing it again. The original version was better according to my brother since it looked more like was deteriorating. When he said that it made me remember that, that was the direction i was actually going for. The mistake that I made when redrawing it was that I was trying to make it a cleaner and easier to read, and in the process made it more healthy looking like warrior hog type creature. I want this character in the end to convey a feeling that it has already been in the battle field and that it was one of the last survivors left somewhere in the middle of a endless desert, slowly decomposing while it still remained concious and still walking and fighting to remain alive. Ill post the finished version at davidreyes.deviantart.com

Some people i saw at work

2008-07-09T15:08:00.000-07:00

These were all done at work with a markette at work. Then a couple of them were quickly colored in photoshop. Also Im posting on Deviantart under davidreyes.deviantart.com

Work doodles

2008-06-27T19:59:00.000-07:00

How can I start this off ? part of universal burned down, our best airbrush location is sidelined in the darkness of citywalk, gas is 5 fucken dollars a gallon !!!!!!thus affecting tourism at Universal. The most serious relationship I have with a girl right now is with Sallie mae. The way things are working out it may seem that we might be together for the rest of our lifes. Thats not considering the money thats being garnished from my paychecks to pay off my huge dmv fines to my license unsuspended. That along with being jumped, going to a funeral and having my brother get bitten by fucken dog. Despite this and many other things its incredible how I can have the mental ability to be so optimistic about the future.

So anyway heres a few work doodles from the abundance of crap that I ve drawn at work during our down time. I have alot more stuff i wanted to post but since I still don't have a camera Ill have to save those for a later date. These were drawn or large paper so I had to isolate each scan and then compile them together on one page. They were drawn with the markettes (markers) from work and theres one I decided to quickly color, just now in photoshop, just for the hell of it. The color drawing is a quick memory sketch that I did of an employee that walked by. Although these aren't great drawings I feel Ive loosen up alot since last year when I first started this blog and my speed on these are so much faster about 30sec to 1 min.

I just remembered this post was more about letting you guys know that Im posting on Deviant art now, I will continue posting on here but Ill use my deviant account to post more finished drawings and in the future when i get my harddrive replaced and have maya on my computer again ill go back to posting 3d stuff as well. So heres the site http://www.davidreyes.deviantart.com/

Right now I started off by posting a finished turn around of an old character. More will follow . ohyeah LAST PIC IS FROM MY CELL PHONE ON DAY OF UNIVERSAL FIRE.

Just some leftover poop

2008-06-03T23:38:00.001-07:00

I was going to post alot of these along time ago but my scanner was broken so know I Just grabbed a bunch of them and threw them together. There still a bunch letover but I think this is enough crap. It all looks the same anyway. I like it looking messy and unfinished.

More in park demos.

2008-05-29T01:51:00.000-07:00

All that time at Seaworld and im still drawing elephants for dolphins. Honestly I can really draw dolphins I just get tired of drawing the cute ones.

Need a caricature artist for a party? I can be reached at wizzardblitz@netzero.net.

color/ In park warm ups

2008-05-29T01:39:00.000-07:00

These were done my first two weeks in Jan. When I started at universal. The one with with the purple background was just modified today with the liquify tool.

black and white

2008-05-29T01:33:00.001-07:00

Quick color

2008-03-08T17:41:00.000-08:00

The three fat guys are a sketch straight out of my sketch book from Jan. I had it inked a long time ago but finally decided to add some quick color. The only bad thing I wasn't really motivated because there not really anything going on here. When I originally sketched them, I just wanted to draw different types of fat guys.

The fat security is an old sketch from Jan as well. This is actually a very generalized version of the security I had a dispute with. Also my computer took a poop so some of the 3d work I planned to post was lost. So I guess Ill be posting more caricatures.

Before work In Park warms ups

2008-03-08T11:28:00.000-08:00

For the most part this is how I approach my drawings while inside the park(mostly front on). I heavily use The Mark simon book for alot of my warm ups while others are just made up to get the pencil moving. I have a bunch of actual in Parks sketches/demos and doodles that ill post soon, once I borrow my buddies digital camera.

old sketch

2008-03-08T10:27:00.001-08:00

old sketch just to keep the sketch book feel to this blog.

Connan O Brien

2008-01-28T00:42:00.001-08:00

Just a cute version of Connan. Really just working on getting something done instead of thinking to much. With patience I'll go crazy withought having to think about it. If I had all the time in the world, I would try to do something crazy until it works but for now lets just see what I pull out of my ass just by getting it done instead of overthinking.

Day Job

2008-01-26T16:17:00.000-08:00

I had dialogue for this drawing but decided to take it off for personal reasons. I decided it actually speaks for itself. Its just a depiction of me working at a call center. The last time I worked at one of those was when I was ninenteen, now Im 26 and still at it somehow. Actually Im not there anymore but it was actually not bad since I was working for Square Enix and I was providing support FFX1 online. Now Im back into the wonderfull world of live caricatures, lets see if I can survive until spring break hits.

Caricature...

2008-01-26T16:00:00.000-08:00

Nothing really crazy. Just a straight foward caricature. You can say I could of drawn him with a big forehead since he has one, but on the picture that I used he had a hat. So there you go. I know putting ET in there helps associate the likeness and its kind of cheating but ehh. I'll probably do more of these since I finally have photoshop again and I need alot of practice coloring.

Im also looking foward to posting in park sketches since I havent drawn live in a very long time and I just started getting some hours over at Universal Studios. On my first day I was really rusty but I'll probably post some demos I did on that day just to track down my progress.

Static poses/For 3d reference

2008-01-14T10:14:00.000-08:00

Woohoo, So I got kicked out of city walk this weekend along with my little brothers. Oh yeah and some old drawings that I plan to model in 3d.

Scribbles, mostly while on the phone at work.

2008-01-07T01:24:00.001-08:00

Since my last update I moved from Palmdale to Los Angeles. Its funny when I start to think about how much has happened in the last few years to me , but at the same how nothing has really changed. Life has a way to create illusions and obstacles that are non existent but in your mind.

It seems like it was only yesterday since I was here in LA and Angela was calling me everyday from Arizona telling me to move with her and Clarina to San Diego to go school. Anyway she ended up convincing me to go back to school, since I wasn't doing much but collections at some shady telemarketing joint. Now I'm back in LA and since then Angela had an exorcism (literally) and became a christian missionary battling prostitution and spreading the lords word around the world, while Clarina........

Without explaining in detail my frustration, I've met many unusual people in my short lifetime. ...... All I can say thank god for the new Eisley, Molotov and Manu Chao cds.
Rest assure in the future less crap and more actual characters instead of floating heads. Really I'm not lying, I plan to start a profile at deviant art soon with finished work. While this site will continue to be the womb of my thoughts and ideas. There's more stuff I need to post.
Now bring on the sketches mostly done at work while on the phone or during breaks.

Just for the hell of it.

2007-09-19T03:45:00.000-07:00

Did these two nights ago but didn't post so I decided to post this now.

old student work

2007-08-29T17:23:00.001-07:00

Did this a couple of years ago in school. In a small group project of three (we did this in a week) with other classes and working on the side. I modeled the scene, animated the camera movements, added the fog, worked on the lighting and helped import the particles for the flag and rain into the scene. I'm going to go back to rework this some more and maybe drop a portishead head track in here. Also I need to a hold of some good copies of adobe programs. The rendering fr this takes forever so.......yeah this was rendered at the lowest resolution and at the lowest quality possible. Its even crappier on here but yeah ill show you what I mean when I get this reworked and show it at a higher resolution.... ONE Day

Working out textures

2007-08-29T16:42:00.000-07:00

small lame update

2007-06-29T07:04:00.000-07:00

I know its been a while since my last update. Ive been pretty much done with this guy for a while now........I mean atleast with the modeling, but even then theres little areas im going to go back and refine. I have a few other ideas I want to model, that I would post but Im too lazy to scan. I have A.D.D Im not sure which one to model next, and yet this guy still needs to be textured and even though you can't see it i have a skeleton going on underneath him too. So i'll be doing minor animations of him, I hope. It sucks I have many ideas but not enough technical skills and dicipline to bust them out quick enough. Sorry for not cropping these shots.

Finally starting to model again, and some sketches.

2007-06-01T13:21:00.001-07:00

Ive worked on this guy the last two nights. Its been very time consuming and I know I'm very slow but I'm working on getting quicker. By posting this maybe I'll finish this guy sooner, hopefully in a few more days. Also Ive been lucky enough to have enough crashes from working on this guy that I decided to scribble some sketches in between. I don't know why it is, because its not even that big of a file. But anyway the last ugly face is something I found in my closet while I was cleaning. This is from January when I first moved out here, just a quick face after drawing some normal in park caricatures that are too big too post, its just look kind of interesting and thought maybe I would develop this guy more. That's it for now "Cheers". aww man I haven't seen so many people post that stupid word on here ever. I need to stop reading shit and create more. ( sorry I just had to ) By the way the people that write that on there post are always incredibly good. I thought it might make my stuff look better too, or at least make me seem like a poser. Either way cooool.

Sketchbook Pages

2007-05-18T00:25:00.000-07:00

Too exhausted to write anything on here. It took me an hour this time to sign in to blogger. I don't remember my password but somehow I was able to get in. Well let me try to explain what this is. Its all stuff from my sketch book, been meaning to update sooner but I always seem to have an excuse .......my scanners not working I can't sign in , this is too big to scan, I was going to borrow a camera but eh( I'm a little bitch and a wine ER sometimes). Well anyway this is some of the sketches Ive been sneaking into my sketchbook. Trying hard to concentrate on one drawing at a time but its seems that I have add that I can't shake off or I just have to get back to work. I guess I feel like I just need to improve faster and the more I do the better Ill get, but then you can argue if you spend lots of hours one drawing and make it look good (render/shading/color) you demonstrate skills of a ninja. But overall excited about getting back on the computer which is really what I need to do and model some ideas that I have. No need to maximize any images there all just seconds of pencil sweeping, nothing ambitious all for practice and development. I'm actually a better critic , even tovu said he will pay for my words. Oh yeah lastly the elephant warrior guy is an updated version of the one I posted a while back. I did this a while back but did this on big paper along with extended turnaround of him 3/4 and back side. There's a couple of guys I have to draw on smaller paper so I can scan. Reason for drawing on the big paper was to have the freedom of adding more detail on the face and kind of feeling unrestrained from boundaries, but it takes longer to draw on too. Also been listening to the new Rx bandits CD "and the battle begun".......without a doubt best album out right now, musically and lyrically . Matt embree has to be one of the best lyricist, if you don't agree listen to the whole goddamn albulm and read the lyrics and if your still not convinced give me a band or and artist that has released something better last year or this year. At this point I don't think there is but it would be awesome of one of guys knew and doesn't matter what style or medium its delivered if its good it will stand strong. ahh excuse the grammar and spelling if you read this...

My Space Browsing

2007-04-12T20:28:00.000-07:00

The first four pages of these are from My space profiles. The rest are from work or on the bus.

More Developing concepts

2007-04-07T02:46:00.000-07:00

Here's half of a turn around for another character I was developing. These poses are stiff static poses just in case I decide to model this eventually. But still not sure if this works for me. Even though you can't tell this was colored in grayscale markers which I never use but Im trying to practice with different stuff.

Nice and dirty lunchtime sketches from today

2007-04-03T02:17:00.000-07:00

Dam it took me an hour to remember my pasword and reset everything. Anyway yeah Im crazy for posting these. Put if I don't post this I will hardly ever post stuff on here and then i will never post anything. These are from today at work in between my breaks. Most of these are either made up, magazine reference or people in the break room.Funny thing is that I found a red pen on the table, So I ended up using it on a couple of pages on my last break. I forgot ink smears, but anyway here some stuff, quick and dirty as usual.
