Holiday fun!

Some "Invincible" comic fan art today:

If you are unfamiliar with the comic, this guy is called Conquest...and he is a total badass!

....Also, if you are unfamiliar with the comic; get familiar with it! It's awesome :)!

Merry Christmas!

Teaching!

So on the weekend I held a small class on Character Design. Huge thank you to all the people who came! I am actually going to be teaching for real next year and this was great to practice some theory and draw in front of people (something I have never done).

So here is my Demo:

Then I gave him some more love at home:

Supanova books!!

Here are the books that I will have on offer this weekend at Supanova!:

House of Squid
by Peter Kozak, James Paterson, Curtis James Richardson Smith, Chris Voigt and Me!:

"Inside you will meet the strange, sometimes terrifying, always arousing denizens of the collective imagination of several devastatingly beautiful geniuses. 

They hail from all different walks of life; vigilante llama rustler (retired), groin thief, outlaw, private detective, macrobiologist, inanimate folding lawn chair, just to name a few. Within lie tales of mighty crustaceans, epic duck-human hybrids, crazed apes, masked men, unmasked men, men with two groins, men with swollen groins, not to mention the mysterious, sensual, terrible and ultimately alluring Pleasure Island... 

When you’re done reading, you may feel an irrepressible urge to go and wash yourself off. Fight it! Embrace the grease. Learn to live with it........ Only then will you truly be free to love."

Pick up this fine 112 page graphic novel for $20! *Not recommended for the kiddies*

The Book of Plump
by Peter Yong

"If you have a craving that can only be sated by looking at round, chubby, some would say “cute” characters; then this is the book for you!
Inside you will find bulging forms that will melt the sternest, most battle hardened heart!

Skillfully crafted by Australian artist Peter Yong, these drawings and renderings are a must have for any plump enthusiast." 

Yes, its the Plump Monday book :), however it has more than just the pictures featured in my Plump Monday Gallery! Pick it up for just 15 bucks!

Its Just Another Violent Friday

by Peter Yong

The book features all the Violent Friday's seen here, plus 15 pages of new violence and sketches from where it all began! The book is only 10 bucks! That's what I call money well spent!!

Sketched!
by Peter Yong

A selection of 46 pictures from my sketchbook both physical and digital from the past year. This little fellow is just $5 :) 

Supanova Brisbane

I will be at Supanova in Brisbane this weekend showing some art and selling some books that I have recently made! Come over and say Hi! More on the books soon!

Check out the cover for my sketchbook. I will be selling it at this years Supanova pop culture convention here in Brisbane. I will not just be selling this bad boy….. I will have 3 other books on offer! Stay tuned! :)

Christopher Nolan- Dark Knight Returns

What if Christopher Nolan made the Dark Knight Returns? Maybe the power suit that he uses to beat up superman would look like this........

If you don't know what I'm talking about you gotta read The Dark Night Returns (one of my favs!) or check out this image:

This was allot of fun and a good opportunity to try out some new techniques that I've been exposed to recently :)

Jim

Yes, another Zbrush model. 

I wanted to give Jim a go.

More of that Z stuff

My first full character! I felt very clumsy doing this but it was allot of fun :)

Recently I have been trying to learn Zbrush

Here is a Blobby Alien dude.

Jim

This has been a long time coming, but I have finally cut this together!!
Its a Storyboard that I did earlier this year using what I learnt from Rad Sechrist class at CDA

Here is a little back story:

Jim is a fish monster who lives the depressing life as a nameless office employee. Things were not always this way, for Jim was once the most feared monster in the world!

After settling down and starting a family, Jim had to get a "real job" and settled into the office routine. As time went by he progressively lost the "fire" that made him once the "Baddest Being On The Planet".

Jims boss Frank, a keen trophy fisherman sees Jim as "The perfect catch" and has reserved a space for him on his secret trophy wall in his office.

After Frank makes Jim work late he confronts him in the carpark....... 


Huge thank you to Rad Sechrist for all the help and guidance!

Some recent drawings.

Merman!

This clip was all I was thinking about while doing it:

Baby Batman and Baby Bane

So I saw the Dark Knight last night. While there were a few annoying things in it, I still enjoyed it.

Here is Baby Batman and Baby Bane :)

Treasure Hunter/Scavenger

A concept that I did on the weekend. 

It was an assignment given by John Park. Thought it was a good opportunity to try out some new techniques that I saw him demoing in Sydney a couple of weeks ago

Thank you John for coming down under and showing us how its done!

And this is the guy who flies the ship
This is what I may look like if I work alone too much :P!..Sans space suit.....Actually maybe I might get a space suit....

Barbarian Guy

Yesterday I received some wise words from my friend Chih Han and Nick about rendering. I tried to apply some of it with this painting.

Wolverine!!

Wolverine for Ozcomics this week

The Kneecapper

I designed a little robot…I think I’ll call him “The Kneecapper” :)

What Have I Been Doing?

Here are a bunch of sketches that have been keeping me busy.

You can see more here: http://peteyong.tumblr.com/

The aim of these is to not get bogged down and just create! I also want to take this opportunity to draw things that I normally wouldn't. 

Speed sketch

Tried a bunch of new things in this drawing.
Realised that drawing fast is good but thinking fast is much better :).

Demon "Sketch"

Trying a different way to render...obviously inspired by a little game that has just come out :)

Here are some studies that I have done recently. Check out my new Skectch-A-Day Tumblr :  http://peteyong.tumblr.com/
