Animated Movie

Hi Guys, I am doing an animated 2d short-film for my independent project. I am basically starting from scratch, so it has been difficult. This clip is about the first 4 seconds of the movie and it is 47 frames. I am using Corel Painter for animation and assets. I will eventually be using After Effects for some editing and sound. The movie has a lot to do with my subconscious and about life. There will be a deer involved and it is a mix of imagination and storytelling. Hope you enjoy the very short clip and stay tuned to find out where the eyelashes go :)

Acrylic

"Red Still Life" 11X14 Acrylic Paint

This is my first acrylic painting. It is different from the usual oil paint I use, but I enjoy its wash-like capabilities and it is definitely not as strong in odor as oil paints. I did have to get used to the quick drying time. I am pretty happy the way it turned out. I did it in about 5 hours.

Valentine's Day

"Wedding Day" Digital mixed media

It's that time of the year again, where we become retail chain lovebots and give flowers and boxes of chocolate. It's a pretty silly made up holiday. Nonetheless, you can't help but look at people around you who have love. This is a very fast painting of two of my friends in the romantic impressionist style :) Let me know what you think.

Winter Days

"Red Door" Digital Oil Paint/Chalk/Pen 7x10

I thought with our current weather, it would be nice to do a snowy scene . I found this red door that was abandoned next to a wood pile. Practice in texture and speed.

Tribute

"Andy" Digital oil paint 600x800

This is a portrait of a friend of mine. I thought I would practice a portrait before the start of school. He was looking quite dashing and I thought his picture would translate to paint well.

Speed Paint

"My desk" Digital oil painting 3x2

I broke my 1 hour limit on this "speed" paint and did it in 3 hours, but I will try to go back down to 1 hour. I enjoy the blue light on the speaker controller and so I chose it as my focus for this painting.

"Acres" Digital oil painting 3x3


I am starting on a number of speed paintings in order to quicken my workflow and to practice a lot more during my break. Hope you enjoy, took me less than 1 hour using real bristles in Corel Painter X.

Boxes...and Boxes

I decided to delete my Thanksgiving post of the orange box so that I could put the collection of box paintings together in one happy family. The quality of the photos is pretty bad and all of them are not finished, but I thought I would post them anyway. I hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think.

Final Etchings

Hi Guys, this is kind of a combo post of some of my november and some of my december work. These etchings where done at places that I frequent and I was attracted to their shapes. I walked to them and drew them on the plates from observation. I Hope you enjoy. I have some paintings that I will be posting later on in the month. Check back soon.
