env_18.1

update

env_18

man just getting that feeling, i have so many ideas i wanna put out. wish my break was longer D:

castle in the evening, surprisingly this took me a good 2 hours. very rough work right? i had a bit of trouble picking fleshing out the colors so i dumbed it down for myself. and then came composition/perspective issues.

to say the least this gave me more trouble than i wouldve liked, and theres still a lot to do.

maybe i shouldnt have woken up at 4 to do this. but then i wouldn't have heard this awesome 4 seasons cover on pandora! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkfKGzX7rEw

eh

bluhguhbl-CHRISTMAS! 5.

this gave me more trouble than i imagined. but finally i am done. i need to catch up on some landscape stuff now, maybe ill start reading more books too, any redwall fans?

dare i say it? i actually... ENJOY listening to dubstep while painting.. whats HAPPENING TO MEEEE.

bleeeEEGRGEUG. 3.

i swear, every time i draw the character first i have no idea what im doing in the background. its like i just go brain dead.  shape vomits. i just vomit shapes onto the screen now and i guess this is what i get.

suffice to say this brush is really fun to work with, i wish i could just leave everything in awkward shapes.. but you know what that would make me? yeah.. :(

bleghhhh2

so.. this is taking.. forever..

man i just want to play games so badly..

bleghhhh

me and my bro drove up to our dads place today, fun ride. almost got lost. 

anyways heres what i got atm, probably wont finish tonight so its just a preview. 

and after browsing through cghub once again...

keeping myself in check. cant let landscape painting take me over, even though i find it so much more fun now...

env_17.1a

updated the first scene from the 17th batch,

started playing fable (thank you very much mike lin!) and i absolutely loveeee the scenery in that game. got inspired to detail this a bit more since it sort of looked like the woods within the game.

env_17

finalsweek, ill put out what i can but probably slowing down for a bit till winter break starts. 

quick sketches, bout 30 min each.

env_16.1

big update for this one, spent a good 2 hours refining the details, adjusting the colors and contrasts, adding textures, etc. i'll probably add this to my portfolio, really liked how the atmosphere turned out.

probably wouldve helped if i had thought up more of a story as well though, maybe added people. my drawings always lack people :(

sbook_8

some more pics of the lil guy, hes on an adventure!, trying to make it seem as if hes travelling, different areas and whatnot. giant caterpillars and whathaveyou.

ive gotten a few requests to draw something from dota, soooo hopefully when winter break comes around, ill be able to whip out something interesting, havent drawn dota fanart in a longgg time and its actually the fanart that got me to take drawing seriously, so im excited. also because winter break is going to be my longest break, so itll feel like my school year is over.

as stated by chien, "uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"

as_4

quick 30 min char sketch, trying to make sure im not getting rusty while doing all this environment stuff

env_16

finding it very hard to stay motivated at the moment.. i feel like im falling so far behind everyone else and i cant get back into the zone. maybe its because im trying to do this right after coming home from work, but then again what kind of excuse is that when some people draw 7 days a week, every day hours on end. only  regret for coming to ucsb is its art department is just an obstacle for me.

major theme for this feels alright, but i still have a long way to go. definitely nowhere near finished, will work on it later.

env_15.1

small update! still have alot to do for this scene, but i might just put it on the backburner for now so i can get more ideas out.  (i have to get rid of that habit where i use small lights to make up for lack of detail)

sbook_7

forgot to scan stuff in for a bit, gonna start adding a little placeholder guy for all the environments, just to give sense of scale. and cause hes pretty fun to draw.

env_15

another wip, used a cloud stock to get me going, about 1 hour on it so far and im pretty glad with how the quickly the idea manifested. definitely going to be working on this more another day.

!!!

the most fun ive had drawing in a VERY, very long time. props to anyone who can pick out all 3 references!

Happy Thanksgiving!

env_13update

added more detail, probably made it a bit too busy unfortunately.

short

quick 10 min sketch before bed

env_13

a bit different than my usual theme but rather enjoyable to paint, much more organized than the usual chaos i draw with. ill be refining this one later on

env_12

sbook_6

sbook_5

sbook_forgotnumber
