"Taming A Big Bully" Storybook Snippets

Pages from my illustrated storybook (available here)

Three Amigos

I'm working on a Western-themed class project, so I've been looking a lot at 10-gallon hats, deserts, and the like. This was a quick sketch I made while taking a break.

Ablaendschen Flower Meadow

Quick painting made in a little under an hour.

Don't Get Paid Enough - WIP

Vehicle Sketches 01

I make vehicle sketches fairly frequently, but, other than the few developed to finished works, I haven't always done much with them. Henceforth, I will be posting them as part of a Vehicle Sketches series.

Light Map Cubes

Something I did in Maya to refresh my knowledge of baking light maps to texture. I quickly put together a design in Photoshop, mapped it to a poly cube, lit, then baked the lights to a new texture. This, including specular and normal maps, was now re-assigned to the cube.

Finally, a few copies were made of the cube, and no lights were used in the final render.

Landscape No. 1

Buckid Lifts Weight

A CG piece for portfolio.

Happy Elf Walk Cycle - Clean

Cleaned up for portfolio.

Reaction - Box Surprise

Portfolio piece showing character reaction.

Cosmic Genie

Something done in about an hour or so after a class.

Skreeg

Happy Elf Walk Cycle - Rough

Shrub Creature

It started as a casual character sketch during a class break, and turned out good enough for a theme and setting.

Fiery Willow

Rough sketch of an conceptual tree form, which I painted in and gave a quick setting.
