Jungle Gym update.

A project that I'm working on, little by little. There are some problems I want to address before I move on but in the meantime I'll show you guys what I've got.

Doomed to Repeat it! (Truly Historical Improv)

My Latest for the Brody Theater!

My improv teacher, Kerry Leek, is directing a history themed improv show and commissioned me to do the poster for it! I love doing these!

Here are the roughs. Kerry told me that past shows involved the Hindenburg, the flight at Kitty Hawk (Wright Bros.), the rise of the Roman Empire, and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. These are the ideas I came up with:

 

 A simple idea in case the deadline was getting close.

My idea (the selected one). Kind of an Epic Movie feel to it (including Bad Ass Washington).

Kerry's idea. She liked mine but I wouldn't have minded working on this one either. :)

Comedy Bull at the Brody Theater!

My latest, commisioned by a friend from the Brody Theater, Anatoli Brant. I think the design for the bull looks a little weird (he looks more like a deer) and the text on the top could use a little polish but Toli's happy with it and that's what's important. :)

Here are the roughs:

These are the four concepts that I pitched originally. The point of the show is that a group of stand up comedians will perform in a short amount of time. If the audience doesn't like what they hear, they get booed off stage even sooner. Toli also told me that he wanted a strong "Bull" theme in these. I figured that I'd focus on Bulls, Timing, Stand-Up and Intimidation.

When he saw the four above, he gave me a much more specific idea.

 

Showed him this and, while he liked it, just wasn't what he was looking for (plus it was the wrong dimensions). One more shot!

Bam! This is the idea he liked.

This project was a lot of fun and a good challenge. I had to do these in a little more than a week (while working two freakin' jobs!!!) so despite the final image's flaws, I do like a lot of how it turned out. 

I'll be coming to this show when it happens at the Brody! Hope it's a success, Toli! :)

Stair Towers!

Some building sketches. Trying to do more scenery stuff.

Melvin and Zeke.

Just a little concept I've been kicking around. Maybe a duo (or trio) of rabbit brothers that fight evil or something. Now the real question is which one's Melvin and which one's Zeke? ;)

Wizard Dude Guy!

Little wizard I want to use for...something. Just wanted to play with Photoshop.

More Beano!

Wanted to play around with this guy a little more. 

I think this would make a fun game. What do you think?

Burger Dragon!!!

 Booga booga booga!!

A little critter my co-workers and I came up with. It all started with the little sketch below!

We started by one of us drawing a single line or shape and the other would keep adding to it.

Here's the cleaned up drawing right here.

Enter: Melvin!

A character that I've had for a long time. My room mate thinks that I should actually make this a team of different rabbits. What do you guys think?

Some Astal Love

Some sketches for a piece of fan-art that I want to do. From one of my favorite games for the Sega Saturn, Astal.





Expect an update this week featuring these characters. :)

Fire Hydrants!

Trying to caricature objects now. Might come up with some good ideas through those.

An excersize in self indulgence...

I'll probably get some crap for this.



I like working this way when coming up with ideas and I promise that I AM going somewhere with these sketches.

Stay Tuned!

Hey Kiddies! It's time for BEANO!!

Did a few of these at work. I'd really like to use this character in a video game. It was fun to at least sketch some ideas on how he attacks enemies or the hazards that he may encounter.

Old Pickup Truck Character

Character Design Thumbnails

Thumbnails of designs for Pickups, SUVs and Hummers. A little exercise in size, shape and proportion variation.

Bogger sketches.

Sketches of a 4x4 Pickup named Bogger.
