I have this problem with my shih tzu. I cant imagine what it would be like with a great dane.

This is for a project I am developing, with ambitions for distribution in pet industries. The illustrations are aimed at identifying with the joys and frustrations dog owners share worldwide.

Have an inspired day!]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:20:49 +0000 http://winchester.cgsociety.org/gallery/609763

A very rare specimen! Hated by farmers, feared by cows. THis is the Creepng Cattle Snatcher.
I had a lot of fun with this piece. Originally I was intending to just design the creature, but after getting into it I decided to illustrate the beast in action. I tried to create a beautiful and calm atmosphere to contrast whats about to happen. Also, I was playing with the idea of how hard it is to miss this giant monster, unless your a stupid cow concerned only with food.
I have submitted this to Bob Chiu to be included in his latest book, "Creature Sketches" available at

I was inspired by the movie poster for Nikita, la Femme Fatale. An old pulp fiction film.
imdb has the image here
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100263/

I took an approach in attempts to achieve the stylized interpretation I had conjured in my mind. I drew it out, focusing on symplifying her curves down into c's and s's. I slightly altered her pose, revealing a little bit of cleavage. and tilting here head down, avoiding the up the nose shot. I wanted sharp graphic shapes, containing detailed illustrative rendering. Originally I spent some time creating pen tool shapes in photoshop, intending to paint within them. I found this gave wierd pixelated edges even at 300 dpi, 11 by 17 inches. I ended up painting in all her shapes with a solid hard brush, and then used those shapes as selections to paint within.

Hope u enjoy.]]> Mon, 19 Mar 2007 01:54:48 +0000 http://winchester.cgsociety.org/gallery/540017

A Reaper's Muse
Theres two possibilities here.

A
A grim reaper has conditioned a young female into his perfect apprentice. A sexy puppet of death, she lures in unsuspecting men to certain fatality.

B
A cunning young woman has used her smarts and sex appeal to move up in the ranks of the underworld, eventually earning the affection of a reaper. Death thinks he has the upper hand, when really he is being manipulated.

What do you think?]]> Fri, 23 Nov 2007 17:53:50 +0000 http://winchester.cgsociety.org/gallery/550584

in the late 60's my moms, bless her heart, sold enough dope at a Jimmy Hendrix & Janis Joplin concert to put a roof over her and my older brothers head for six months.

I would have loved to see Jimmy play live. such passion.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 18:28:50 +0000 http://winchester.cgsociety.org/gallery/539698

I recently visited the Getty museum in LA. truely a wonderful experience. Its free to go and the collection is very impressive.

I was deeply inspired by all of the master portraiture I saw there. Titian, Cezanne, Rembrandt, Géricault, Renoir. So much more powerful in person then in print. Some ideas came to mind as far as technique.

Here I attempted to capture the presence of this young man from photo, while experimenting with technique. The background I hope further describes his character, as simple as it is.

Heres the pic I referenced

Edward the Alien...
Good hearted and somewhat timid, Edward spends his time gathering roots and berries for his family. Dont mention his belly though as he is sensitive.

A turnaround for a CG film.

Comments and crits always welcome.]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2007 19:38:43 +0000 http://winchester.cgsociety.org/gallery/513109

A matte painting I did for YTV's upcoming 3D cartoon, "Jibber Jabber".
The water and sky are place holders. The ship will be used for long shots, with a 3d flag composited. THe interior of the ship has been modelled for action.

A matte I did for YTV's upcoming 3D cartoon "Jibber Jabber".

Saving the 3d team some time, I painted this to be used for a number of POV long shots. THe building on the mountain, clouds, and mist in the gorges, are placeholders for 3d elements.

As an animator, the majority of my work is stylized cartoonish stuff. However I would like to be versatile in my skill set, capable of working in a number of styles.

I wanted to work on the theme of sophisticated simplicity. Both in theme and in composition and technique. THis approach proved to be rather humbling in that I found more then enough challenges within this simple composition to keep me thinking hard for some good time.

The woman has worked hard her whole life. SHe is just now starting to take time for herself to enjoy the fruits of her labour. SHe is confident and beautiful. Strong and mature.

Please let me know how you feel about this illustration.]]> Sun, 20 Aug 2006 22:21:23 +0000 http://winchester.cgsociety.org/gallery/369229

Greetings

Dont usually do this type of work. But recently I was inspired by some old pinup artwork I found. I wanted to do a pinup inspired by the ol 60's style but with a modern twist. So I chose to use a modern them, snowboarding, and a more contemporary color sceme.

Some designs I did for a short film about six gothic characters that hang out in the wee hours of the night. In attempts to escape from thier disfunctional family lives the characters continually cause a ruckus.]]> Thu, 23 Mar 2006 21:44:02 +0000 http://winchester.cgsociety.org/gallery/513154

While working on "What Its Like Being Alone" (www.beingalone.com), my boss, Brad Peyton was asked by Warner Bros. to submit a proposal for dirrecting an upcoming feature film, "Eddie Dickens and the Awful End". Brad responded with a wonderful vision of a film created mostly in live action, but with a visual stylization pushed as far as good animation. I was asked if I could do some character concepts, with Edward Gorey as inspiration, to be used in Brad's package. This image was my favorite design I came up with, depicting "the Peelers", the incompetant police in the world of Eddie Dickens.
* * * * *
GREAT NEWS: I spoke to Brad Peyton yesterday and the package he submitted to Warner Bros, which included this and some more of my designs, was approved. Brad will be directing "Eddie Dickens and the Awful End".
