Black and White Black and White

Here are a few compositional studies done today, around 15-20 mins each, these were a lot of fun to do and done with the initial purpose of abstracting feelings. I think I got a bit too representational though.

In my room redefining the meaning of black holes.

Chasing the Void Dragon

 a little spin off piece from the painting posted below, gonna touch up the dragon head at some point, ahhh homework time.

The Natural Mind

 Alright, this piece has had some major hours poured into it since the beginning of december amidst work and other doodles. Its getting pretty over the top but its been a fun journey pushing rendering. Going to polish the last bits up tomorrow morning and call this one done but just thought I'd share some now.

Just thought I would share some of the process of this piece. It started out with some thumbnails/quick value sketches done in my sketchbook. Refining and throwing up ideas. The ones I liked where then taken into photoshop.

From here I picked my favorite thumb and progressed from here in photoshop.

 and then  here we are

Here Be Monsters

Uploaded this animation clip to youtube that I did back in 2008. Recently discovered the animation tools in photoshop so I'll probably be uploading a lot more random stuff like this. Cheers.

Self Portrait

 Little self portrait action from last night. Deciding on whether or not to color. Thanks for looking.

HI-RES

 You may or may not know these goons. Thought I should post something, grayscales of some portriats before adding color.
