Bixie Sweetness!

W

ow, its been a while since I've updated! I thought I'd post this bit of awesome.
SOE Fan Faire is going on in Las Vegas right now and a fan was spotted wearing a Bixie Queen costume! I also posted the Bixie Queen character concept I did for the game (...need to paint). Pretty cool that someone liked it enough to put in their valuable time to make a full-fledged costume! The costume came out quite nicely IMHO! :D

FreeRealms is open!


The game that I have been working on for the past three years has finally opened to the public! Head on over to the FreeRealms site to check it out. Once I get approval, I'll post the work I've done so far for the game on my main site...which needs an overhaul. Ugh.
Did I mention, its free to farkin' play?!? What more can you ask for hehehe
Oh and my in-game avatar's name is Egg Shen. Come find me and add me to your friend list :)

River Sunrise


Watching the Houston Rockets play against the Portland Trailblazers. I dont't necessarily care who wins as long they beat each other up a little bit. Actually, I think the Lakers match up better with the Rockets, so okay, maybe I'll root for the Rockets.
I did this quick sketch while watching the game. Ahhhh....can't believe its time for the playoffs again.

IF - Talisman


Should you ever run into Alex Trebek of Jeopardy fame and he starts hasslin' you about who is the record holder for the tallest man, you can step to him with confidence and say "That would be Robert Wadlow, Trebek." In yo face, Alex!
This was a piece I did for Illustration Friday and the topic was "Talisman". To me it sounded like "tallest man" so I crowbarred Sir Wadlow in there. If you're wondering what that is around his neck well that happens to be.....tadaaa! A TALISMAN!
My brilliance rocks your socks.

Stones by the shore


This one took 15 minutes. That was a good bit of advice I got today. I'm enjoying these a lot more now that I'm not concerning myself too much with details which I have a tendency to do and I think these studies have more energy in them.

Sunset Rock


On a friend's advice, I'm trying to get even faster with these studies. This was a 12 minute color study of an outcropping of rock facing the sunset.

Canyon Color Studies



Here are two canyon color studies I just finished. I think I'll try some urban type stuff next...or figures....GAAAH! I wish we didn't have to sleep if we didn't want to. Both of these were done in Art Rage although I took the top one into Photoshop and added a bit of atmosphere using the airbrush. The free version of AR doesn't have the airbrush tool activated. I guess I'll have to buy the full version one of these days which I don't really mind since it only runs twenty-five bucks.

Painting Video Test 02



Yet another sketch. Just trying to figure out the optimum software settings. I didn't want to take too long on the actual color study. Total time was around 25 minutes compressed to about 41/2 minutes.

Video guy


Here is a quick lunchtime sketch. SOE sprung for lunch and I was able to stay in and crank this out and catch up on my Colbert watching. Pizza anyone?
