kind of like a lion fish

sketchdump

Some older stuff. Third one down is the original sketch that inspired the dude in the previous post... which will be finished shortly... hopefully.

sneak peak

Here's something I'm currently working on.
And here's something totally awesome.

from the coffeeshop

These were done within the last month or so. I'm beginning to think I'm stylistically schizophrenic.

On a completely unrelated note, are there any twitterfolk out there? I'm on as @jimmyly. I tend to post more random sketches on there than on this blog; mixed in with a healthy dose if inane musings of course.
As of late, it seems that the only twitterers who find me interesting are spambots who have naughty pictures. We need to fix this.

more watercolour studies

Still trying to muscle my way into the chaotic world of watercolors.
Top sketch is at Lighthouse Park. Dave, Maki, Edy, Halis and me, spent a day checkin out this hidden little area in West Van. It was cool to catch up with everyone, weather was awesome and I got ravaged by mosquito's. It was a good day.
Bottom sketch is of the Burrard Bridge with English Bay peeking out from behind. Painted at Granville Island.
Also saw a seagull totally munching on the corpse of a small bird. I thought all they ate was garbage.

busgirl

Saw this pretty looking girl on the bus today <3

canti x2 (FLCL FTW)

Still life from a few days ago of my 2 favorite homee's. (2-3 hrs work)

I've kind of been brute-forcing my way into the world of watercolor sketching... with very blotchy results. It seems like such an unpredictable medium; one moment it looks fine and then it suddenly mutates into something horribly grotesque. Kind of feels like I'm learning how to paint all over again.
Jonathan was kind enough to show me how it's done.. after the fact. 'got some good tips so hopefully the next foray will be a wee bit more successful (thnx yo!)
And then Edison blew it out of the water with his fancy oils.

Must.. keep.. practicing.

sidenote: this is probably the least stylistically consistent artist blog -ever.

FUN FACT: FLCL is probably the main reason why I decided to become a concept artist oh so many years ago.

cheers.

From various sessions in the past couple months. Anywhere from 2-5min each. Nothing beats the feel of charcoal on newsprint.

toolbox assistance

Gah, almost 2 months between updates.

kakaaw!

not sure where this one's going exactly.

shrubbery + thumbnail

Spent maybe 20 minutes on the thumbail and then the rest of the day on the final execution. Painting forests is strangely relaxing.

industrial practice + progression

dominance war

A lil warmup for Dominance War 4. I'm still trying to settle on a faction.. might do multiple entries. Should be fun.

sketches, studies and thummers

This week's lesson: warming up is integral to a productive day.

juicy dump of characters

I'd like to apologize for posting these exclusively at the juice. To make it up to you I've added some extra sketches!Oh and here's a tanuki for good measure.
**massive enviro dump coming soon!**
