Digital Painting Caricature

Another digital painting caricature of a work buddy, ROB! Done in photoshop with the same chalk brush Ive been using for this series. I captured exactly what I was looking for after a long battle with design! Capturing who you feel someone really is in a caricature is very mysterious and very rewarding, love it!

Brian Posehn Caricature Portrait

Found a pic online of Brian Posehn as a kid! Painted it quickly today for fun.

Our Sad Sun

Here is a quick concept I did of our sad sun.... powerful and loving, but in the end he must die, and so must the life he helped to birth. 

Inspired by "How the Universe Works". Images provided by the internets. (no i didn't paint this (it only took 20 minutes) its mostly photo collage with some small painting tweaks to quickly express something)

Wizard of OZ concept painting on Odosketch

Here's my first color sketch on Odosketch.com. It was fun! I did this from my head just randomly. I love working within odosketches limits, I think it helps you learn. Obviously this is Wizard of OZ.
(This may load REALLY slow on slow internet connections....it shows the painting as I go, so it isnt just the final, so if you dont see an image, just wait, or go do something more constructive :) )

My Little Brother... another quick sketch on odosketch.com

This is my little brother... best brother ever :) Drew this around lunch time today on odosketch.com

Another Jerboa Character Design ... on Odosketch

Lately I LOVE using odosketch.com . I post some of the drawings to facebook, but in case you don't follow me there, here is one of my favorites below. Watch it here, or if it doesn't load.... Stop by my Odosketch page for more! http://sketch.odopod.com/users/86459.

 I'll keep on drawing there until it bores me :)

Jerboa!

So today I randomly found a pic of the cutest little creature! It's called a "long eared jerboa", and he's so stinkin' cute that I had to draw him/her! I did a drawing based on one of the photos, kept the same pose, taking liberties with the character design but trying to stay a little more realistic.

I might do another one, but REALLY push it to cartoony. That's the best thing about character design to me... you can take one reference photo or idea and do endless variations of design with it, all with varying degrees of personality.

 If you like rodents I hope you like this :)
