Animatic

Just a quick animatic that I did for an excercise!

Illustrations in progress...

I want to add a background to this image and create more dynamic color contrast here. I'll repost an update!

This originally started off as an idea for a tee-shirt design and just spun into a private illustration. I'll post an update once the color is set.

Sketches

Here's a series of Gremlin kids that I kept drawing.. the next step is to build them through 3d Max and have them reek havok ... so BEWARE!! (^__^)

The following are a couple of sketches, I will begin coloring them shortly and repost an update!

Hand and Foot Studies

The following are some hand and foot studies, I used my trustie Charcoals and a combo of 8H and 4HB pencils on a canson sketch pad.

Life and Gesture Drawings

My quick gesture drawings. All were created with charcoals on either a Canson Sketch Pad or Newsprint.
