Digital studies

Some more studies from photos and portraits

Bumped into these from a few years back when I worked on a series of drawings of children. They're traditional technique, graphite on paper.

And these are acrylics on paper; oil on canvas the last one

Character design

Character. Personal.

"LA great pretender"

Fragment

Sketch

Clandestine operation center.

A piece a little more finished.

Obscure forces attacking obscure base in the obscurity of the night…

Coming back with some old pieces from the WW1 project.

Guess where is this one from. Arguably biggest first person shooter ever?!

Hazmat suit helmets variations. These are early explorations. The final character ended up looking quite different.

And some more general sketches for the same character.

An old piece in the alternate WWI vein, part of a project that never saw the light. I will post more of these sometime.

Dogfight, introducing "Smokey", as in hot, romantic hero, visionary inventor and aviation daredevil.

Compositions

Composition sketch for some imagined high-octane action drama in a chemical plant.

Biplanes are cool.

I put both sketch and finished piece on the same image so I can see where I was able to improve and where I failed to do it.

Trying again some complicated scene without photographic reference; not so good idea, turns out. Hmm.. I should probably do some dressing such as horse on the right foreground, eagles circling in the sky, do some decent rocks, etc. I'll probably get back to it.

Dusting off some personal pieces.
