Painter

Painter 9.5 is quite the spiffy program. Once you get your head around it i'm sure it will be a tremendous asset. Here are a couple of things i have tried in painter. I am a fan of the pencil tool, it imitates are real one well enough that you can rough out an idea directly into your computer.
This is a scene from a story i am telling my little brothers. O'connel is about to give into the blood burning in him and the souls whispering to him in his anger. (he is a good guy, but connected to him are a lot of evil souls of creatures he has defeated.)




Random fighter.

wow, now I know why I see some blogs with huge gaps between posts, life happens and a person gets busy. Here are some older pictures, still haven't scaned in my recent pen sketchs, I guess because i like to "conserve" my energy, aka lazy. These were done in pencil and then inked. first time inking.

Collosus

The game Colosus for the PS2 is an amazing game. Beautiful landscapes, wonderful music, enjoyable to play, amazing to just watch. This is an attempt of mine to make a colosus. Older, learning to use photoshop. (still have not mastered).

First try

Here goes nothing. I have a couple of friends who have blogspot sites, and my buddy keele talked me into starting up a blog. So here it is. Not much, but Keele and i are going to have atleast a weekly posting of new sketches at such to make sure we are practicing our drawing skills. I would like to illustrate, but i have along way to go. (I am a physics major first).


This is a land shark, an idea i first heard from a friend of mine named morgan.
Here is the line art and an attempted coloring of my version of a Land shark.
Front heavy, it charges forward at incredible speed.
His only armour is the bracers on his arms, enemies have at best only one chance
of strikeing the Land shark, so he blocks the feeble attacks, and Bites of the faces
of his foes.
