Quickie

If I were an animal...

The internet says I'd be a salmon. I wanted to see what I might look like in salmon form, so I did this in class yesterday, with my new choose-colors-and-go kind of process. It's interesting--"Jordan" means river or water, and now the internet is saying I'm a salmon!

Liked the process...not a fan of the sketch, tho.

Here's the "what animal am i?" quiz:

Napkin Sketch

I think I'll be doing more of these regularly while on break at work. I did a few more, but my coworkers had claimed them before I could snap a picture!

A Color Study

I referenced some colors from a piece by Brett Bean, one of my new favorite artists. His stuff is great; his use of color really inspires me. Here's his blog:

Haunched, Proud, God who may or may not be a Dwarf

For Bret Bean's randomly generated character blog:

...can you guess why he's holding Pluto, specifically???

Some Classwork







I'm in charge of painting the backgrounds for a team project--18 backgrounds, to be exact. These are WIP's of the most important backgrounds.

Speedpaints






I was into this for a little while...good for warm-ups and procrastinating. A great habit to get into, speedpainting!
