Maggie Smith

Lunch Study.

She was the perfect old Wendy in Hook!

It's hard to get a date when you're a Troll

Yeap, I'm not a blogger by heart!

Some quick gestures and quick emulation studies (of Eric Canete, the man!)





And a lunch study portrait of Jamaine:
("You're the most beautiful girl in the... room!")

New year resolutions

Toy Story III the video game, is wrapping up. After two years of being Concept Lead on it, managing and art directing, I feel like paying more attention to my own art again.
So I made a set of goals for this year:

- Sketch more regularly
- Going to one Figure Drawing session a week
- Do more gestures on my own using posemaniacs.com
- Do emulation studies
- Learn Google Sketch Up
- And in depth study of Photoshop

I know, that a lot of goals, but I'm craving art right now!

My last goal is to learn Illustrator. Here is my first test:



I love vector art already

Happy New Year everybody!

More Movie Art

Thank you very much for your comments guys! They are greatly appreciated!

Here is more concept for this feature film project I worked on:

Peter

Peter and the Wolf

Probably one of my favorite story of all time! I used to to watch the Disney version over and over again.

Action Shot

Here is another piece made for the same movie project. Half way through it, the Producer said he wanted to go with a much darker look (see characters below) so I never finished that piece. Maybe some day!

More costume designs

Fire Suit

Costume Designs

Here are a few Costume Designs I did for a feature film a few months ago. Think "Lawrence of Arabia" meets steampunk!

1st Pass - Sketches (mostly thinking of silhouette)








A final Character:

Speedies

Thanks for your support guys!
Here are the last two 30 min paintings:

Back to Speed Painting.

Some of us in the concept team started the 30 min speed painting again during lunch. The rules: take a picture on the internet and make a painting of it using one layer and no color picking.

Today was my turn to pick the picture. I choose a tough one.

These waves were brutal!


Here it is, 30 min:

I'm back!

Wow! I think I broke all records of silence here!
Bad me!
Life is super busy, projects keep coming and I still have a lot of fun doing it all!
I have a goal to post regularly again. So let's start.
I worked for a feature film last month doing costume designs and action shots. I'll see if I can post some of it here.

In the mid time, here is a little step by step and a skydome for Bolt I worked on with Dave McClellan.

Stay tune!

Snow Monster Hunter

Zigfreid,12, is the youngest Snow Monster Hunter alive. He's captured thirty six beasts so far in a short but impressive career that started when he was only 7 years old.
Here is a photo of him taken on December 18th 2008 in Antarctica with his latest catch, a Category Six 2.3 tons Monster.
