Sketchbook pro on Ipad, Game of thrones, oh my!

Sketch 2012-03-30 01_00_04

I have not been sculpting at all on the previously mentioned projects recently, despite the fact that they are mostly done. I have however discovered that Sketchbook pro has also been turned into an App on the iPad. I bought it and tried it out, so fun! It is great to just draw with a…

*cracks knuckles* Alrighty!

Well, its been a while – as evidenced by the previous post. Yuri and I got married in September 2011 – we worked through the summer on planning and arranging a wonderful and personal wedding that was just what we wanted. Her family, almost entirely for the first time ever to America (and in many…

Does anyone read this blog? E-mail me if so.

Hello! My apologies to you, potential reader, for the tremendous gap in time since my last post. Frankly, so much has happened in my life since graduation that every time I think about updating the blog…. – I somewhat freeze. Also because I am not sure if, in fact, anyone even reads this blog at…

Cinematic Breakdown: Wrath of The Lich King

I have a great appreciation for composition, especially when it comes to film and animation. I am also a large fan of Blizzard’s cinematic trailers. When the Wrath of the Lich King trailer was released, I was very aware as I watched it of how they were using composition, so I decided to undertake a…

Skeleton

I finally decided to do some renders of just the skeleton model that I had made for use in my thesis and beyond. I know that because two of my thesis characters use the skeleton, almost two thirds of my core portfolio use the skeleton so I need to get modeling and add more diversity….

Sketches

Okay, I’ve got it figured out. Now I can post them from my galleries which will be far easier. Since I am doing them from my web galleries, I’ll likely only add ones that made it into the sketchbook, I’ve got tons more – if they are decent I may find a way to add…

Some recent Sketches

I’ve done a fair bit of sketching a week or two ago and I want to get the images up here on the blog. I don’t want to fill up my hosting however – I have them on my picasa web albums for the site that the galleries use, but for some reason the links…

MM: Transformers 3 – Dark of the Moon

Now I know that people can have mixed feelings when it comes to the transformers series (or anything really… specifically when it comes to existing IP). I’m going to come right out and say that I have enjoyed them all quite a lot – none of them quite so much as the most recent installment…

Movie Munch: Green Lantern

Since it just came out I wanted to wait at least a tiny bit before I munched Green Lantern on the blog. As usual, my aim is to think of the movie without being too critical or too lenient – somewhat zoomed out and general. Personally, I liked this one. I liked what it had…

Corbae WIP

Corbae_Quartering

I started this guy from a drawing in my sketchbook after thesis but things got very very busy before I was able to finish him so he has been in stasis. Soon I’ll break him back out again and finish him off – he is almost entirely blocked in so the majority of the hard…
