Chewbacca

If Shane Prigmore had drawn Chewbacca, would it have looked something like this?

Hum... probably not: it would have been much more awesomer!

What do you say Mister Prigmore?

It's time to get to it!

Here are the first 4 pages:

Watercolor

Yesterday, my team of concept artists and I went on a field trip to Millcreek canyon to do a plein air painting. I haven't used my watercolors in years so I decided to give it a try.
It was so fun! Not that my painting was successful by any means but it was so good to touch real paint after all those years of working digitally!

Pirate

We got a really cool model today for our drawing session
A real pirate!

Here is the reason why I haven't posted in a while.

Pretty cute reason huh! :)

Figure Drawing

Brush Experiment

Hello everybody!

So here it is, I'm finally doing it! After years of using Painter, I've decided to give Photoshop a real try. This piece started as a brush experiment/emulation study using one of Aurelie Neyret's marvelous illustration (Aurelie, tu es fantastique!) and it evolved into a quick illustration.

I'm liking Photoshop so far! Nice textural brushes. I'll keep using it.

Sketching at the Zoo

...using an ink brush

Brothers Forever

A little drawing for my kids with a loose watercolor brush technic I'm experimenting with.

Mariachi-Dachi

A piece of fan art I did for my good friend Kevin Merriman He's making a comic book involving a Mariachi Band that ends up in Japan. Very fun story!

Influence Map

I saw this Influence Map on Kris Anka's blog and I thought: "What a great idea!" So I did mine. Very cool to gather all the artists who influenced me the most in one place! Here it is:

Reading Time

When you get home and you see this, how can you not be happy?! To Tanya, Thomas, Jonathan and Benjamin (he's in the picture too. look closely! :) )

Speed Painting

Friends

One night, I had this dream that my team of concept artists was attacked by an evil red eyed robot. The whole office turned into a gloomy green color. Everybody started crying like babies. Then I woke up.

I told my dream to the guys in the morning. Matt Armstrong drew this a few minutes later. He added a cool end to the story: me destroying the evil robot of doom with my laser saber!



How cool is that!?

Another portrait of me by Matthew, on the shoulder of a huge Robot this time (Matt likes Robots A LOT)



And another quick sketch of me during a meeting by the very talented Jason Kim



I just love the guys I work with

And not only because they draw pictures of me as a super hero! :)

Working with people you love and respect is priceless!

"Carifying" the World!

"Fond de Tiroir"

A few pieces from Cars 2 until I can post the concept I've been doing for 2 years now on our super awesome highly top secret next project!


A Before and After example:
Sometime we do paint overs of 3D levels to give suggestions to our World Builders. Concept doesn't stop with one pretty picture. It's often a back and forth between 2D and 3D.




Icons and Logos:
Surprisingly, I had a lot of fun designing those. I never thought I'll do something like that. I'm not the best at it but it was a fun departure from what I usually do. Thank you Illustrator!
