Quick Painting

Just a Quick painting that I did last night.

Here is a painting that I did a while ago straight after I saw Inglorious Basterds. One of the best villians Ive seen in a long time:
Also Check out my sketchbook, Im trying to go a sketch a day again. Its great to loosen up and its very relaxing :)

Big thanks to anyone having a looksee!

More Life Doodling

Some portraits that I have given a go
the first was done with Charcoal:


The other with a Conte pencil:Im finding it very interesting using these mediums. Im really trying to work on my rendering with these sessions.. I feel like im slowly learning :)

Some Live Drawings

Yep, I know its been a while but I have been busy (no excuse really :P)

For the past few weeks I've been going to Life drawing down here in Melbourne and have been really enjoying it!
Here are some drawings that have come out of the sessions:
I'm also experimenting with Charcoal so I hope to post some of those drawings too.

Till next time!

Back Into It

So I've moved to Melbourne, started a new job and have finally gotten semi-settled.

I recieved a laptop 2 weeks ago but I still dont have the internet :(

I'm amazed how useless a computer is without the internet....

Anyway I also just saw UFC 99 and Mirko Crocop has made a successful comeback to the UFC. Sweet!!
Here he is:

I'm Baack!

So my holdiay was sweet.

Havent done much art lately :(

Cute Girls Wearing Cute Clothes

Had a look at some fashion pics on the internet.
I really liked these outfits:

And this is the product of having way to much time on my hands:

Huge Dude.....Dude..

Some Serious Hardware

I was rummaging around my old books recently and I found some of my old Masamune Shirow comics.
His stuff is just as awesome as I remember it being.
Needless to say I got very inspired...

This is meant to be some kind of riot-squad tank-bot:


The other one is kind of silly and completely impractical.
I was thinking of a tank mixed with an insect when I did the riot-bot.
The next one started as Tank mixed with a Frog but ended up as a tank mixed with a Lion...
Hell its impractial already why not make a dude ride it:


Yeah I had alot of fun with this. :)

In the last post, Ben asked for some work in progress images, so I made a point of saving the different stages of these designs.
Check them out on my Concept Art Thread

Feburary Sketches

Im Back to using my little wacom at home and I must say I really enjoying using it. I thought it would be crippling moving from a cintique to a normal Wacom but its been a breeze.

Half of these were done with my Wacom:
