Admiral Chip Friskrocket and the Rex Council

Phew, made it! Stayed up all night and day to put the finishing touches on this piece. I learned so damn much about everything doing it. As much as the failure hurt, I loved it in the end. My muscles grow stronger. Still things in the illustration that bother me, but I'm happy enough with it to move on to the next competition. I should have thumbnails and comp sketches sooooon!

BLOODSPORTS!

So I'm doing these Bloodsport challenges put on by the beautiful, oily muscled Crimson Daggers. We're tasked with making the box art for an action figure package using one of three imaginary properties: Crystal Crusaders, Legend of Lizards, or Gorilla Guardians. I finally decided on Legend of Lizards turning it into a universe where a manly man fights dinosaurs with ray guns. Here's a little bit of the development behind it and a couple of (wasted) studies. The final illustration will look more like the darker composition below.

Boss Warning!

Turrets!

An update so soon? How could this be?! I'll tell you how: turrets.

Platforms!

Has it been another month already? Well I've been doing some work on the Contra game. Updated my concept of the first level along with the turrets. You can see how they transitioned into 3d below. I've also got the big level one boss concept ready to get modeled after I finish up the turrets. This project is more and more exciting as I go! Anyway, I hope to have much more to show in my next post as I definitely didn't cut it this month for work done.

Also a bonus speed-paint: took maybe an hour?

Tiki Hut

Oh yeah, I finished this.

Hit and Run

Haven't updated in a while. Well here's some stuff I've been playing with. First is a little tiki hut for school. Secondly, CONTRA! Yay, finally! Grunts, Lance model, weapon ideas, and a stage one color test. Grunt models should be coming shortly (ie: next year).
