Cyber study

This was another inorganic subject study, this time only 2 hours, entitled 'Cyberman Contemplates.' You can check out the entire process (including me fighting with audio) on my livestream!  Thanks to Mr. Tyler Rhoads for the recommendation to paint a doctor who character.  The pipe was all my idea, thought it needed a little more chees..depth.  Enjoy!

Master Chief study


Master Chief Neal, a 3 hour Halo action figure study.  Watch the progress in 3 parts due to a lot of crashing on Livestreams part.  I have never drawn a mech/robot/vehicle with any sort of attempt at accuracy before, so it took me a bit to get going.

Livestreaming pure green evil

I livestreamed for the first time today.  Since most of the stuff I am working on has an NDA attached to it, I did a hour and a half warm up study from the first Leprechaun movie to celebrate St Patty's day.  Now to the corned beef supper and more painting!

Check out the livestream here if you are so inclined.

Wear your green, fellow Scribblers!  Drink in good health!

Shameless Braggart.

I updated my resume, LinkedIn and so on tonight.  The new bit of my resume that made me smile was this section in work experience:

Digital Compositor Look FX
2011 – Present (1 year) Santa Monica, Ca

Look Effects is a visual effects studio whose credits include Captain America, Black Swan and Green Lantern. My credits while working with the wonderful staff there include:

• The Muppets                                     Dir. James Bobin                          Walt Disney Pictures
• Underworld: Awakening                  Dir. Mårlind, Stein                        Screen Gems
• Red Hook Summer                           Dir. Spike Lee                            40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks
• Finder (Season 1)                                                                                 20th Century Fox
• Bones (Season7)                                                                                  20th Century Fox
• The Perks Of Being a Wallflower     Dir. S. Chbosky                       Summit Entertainment
• The Dictator                                      Dir. Larry Charles                    Four by Two films
• I, Alex Cross                                     Dir. Rob Cohen                       QED International
• Life of Pi                                           Dir. Ang Lee                          Rhythm and Hues/Fox Pictures



Moving out to LA was a terrifying experience that started with six months of crap, but this makes me feel like it was more than worth it in the end. As an added bit of bragging, my wife spent all night working as an background actress on the set of a major sitcom! I'll leave that for her to elucidate upon.

Keep scribbling, Geek Nation!

30 minute study, Biutiful.

Again, I always shoot for a 10 minute study but had a feeling this one would take me longer.  I got some surprising results from throwing a texture layer on the trees once I had their shapes down.  I'm not happy with the figure (general issue) but I didnt want to get caught up on him.

45 minute study

It was supposed to be a 20 minute study, but I obviously need to work on my human form to be more efficient. True Grit still.

10 minute speed paint study

Another in the daily practice.  10 minute still from The Shining.  Hopefully my hours will be short today so I can go home and get some other painting done.
