Red Delicious

Getting back into oil painting. Last finished piece was over 4 years ago. Once fully dried I'll get a better photo/scan up.

Oil on Canvas Board. 5"x7"

Simple setup: Cut apple placed on open sketchbook. Inspired by DailyPaintWorks. Overall happy with result. I think I adequately got the desired colors. Still a ways to go on getting the proper control, mostly throwing bits of color down and mixing it on the canvas. The actual apple had more orange/yellow skin streaks.

Life Drawing Dump!

Went to a life drawing session last Wednesday. Worked with black and white charcoal on paper then Photoshop on tablet PC. Click for detail.

This was done from the same model back in Oct.

Some recent pages from the daily sketchbook. Mostly referenced from books.

Cabinet

Heres a cabinet I recently designed/built to house a 46" TV and various components. Completed in about 2 months, working mostly on weekends. Composed mostly of plywood with maple front trim, all painted satin black.  The lower panel has a piano hinge running along the bottom and magnetic spring latches at its top to allow it to pop open when pressed.

DS Colors

Some paintings done in DS Colors, a great homebrew app for the Nintendo DS. To view a sped up rendering of each from start to finish click the link below each, scroll to the bottom and hit Begin playback.

Mighty Mugg Mod

So I never got around to finishing the Wonder Woman sculpt, lost a bit of interest for now anyway, so I switched gears and decided to paint a Mighty Mugg. Started out with a Chewbacca, which can be found for around $9.99. Airbrushed the skin tone and the red and blue parts, then hand painted the rest. I think my friend will get a big kick out of it as we have talked about modding one to look like Admiral Ackbar. Wish I took more process photos. The gold rope was the handle of a gift bag.

Post-it Sketchery

I was moving some stuff around my work office yesterday and found a stash of post-it drawings done over the last 3-4 years. Quick little sketches done while on hold on the phone or while waiting for my computer to start up. Most are of things within view of my desk.

Zombie Sculpt

Here is another gift project. I thought it would be fun to make a zombie statuette and create a box for it to make it seem like a real product to commemorate a supposed Zombie Apocalypse that has taken place.

Like the other projects I started in Maya with a simple model. click to see rotation.


I created a wire guide to help bend the wire for the armature.
