Gameplay Video

Here's a little gameplay from our game now entitled "Grand Feather"

Also a sneak peak at a character exclusively for people following my art blog. Ohhh you're so lucky haha.
Oh last thing. I also put together a little flash/html site. Still needs some tweaking... and a domain name but check it out here and let me know what you think.

Haven't posted for a while. Ive got a bunch of art I still need to upload and post here. Ive been working on my game mostly so most of the art Im choosing not to show yet or Ive posted up on my other blog at www.sharkarmstudios.com . Heres some pixel work ive been doing, this one was for an art jam with some friends.
Heres an old man, that is going to be featured in our game.

This ones my business card that I designed
And finally one of the enemies that I created for an abandoned game that hopefully well go back and finish. I thought that this would be a cool style to do all of the characters in.

Thats all for now. Stay tuned for more updates!

A new painting in photoshop that took me roughly two hours. I found out that I do much better without setting opacity to the pen pressure.

Animations

2009-07-07T14:34:00.000-07:00

A practice running animation. I have another animation ill upload soon.

Finally uploaded some of my sketches and water colors ive been doing. I hope to be doing alot more, im slacking off a little. Unfortunately some of the pictures edges turned out a little blurry through the scanning. I feel like these scans don't look quite as good as the actual drawing but oh well.

I've been working on artwork for my video game so I haven't been doing much other artwork.

2009-06-12T07:15:00.000-07:00

Water Colors!! I'm falling in love with them...

2009-05-31T20:17:00.000-07:00

My first TShirt design, done in acrylic paint on a regular grey t-shirt. I have some other ideas for designs so I'll probably be posting more of those up soon.

Lynn and I also did another Speed Paint tonight. Under an hour for this one. Some kind of fish mixed with a Silver Back Gorilla.

A quick sculpt out of modeling clay I did for my mom for mother's day.

2009-05-01T21:09:00.000-07:00

A quick speed paint for Tigsource's rendition thread . Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII...

I've been doing a little skateboarding lately since the weather has been nice. This was a nice gap I found outside of my studio.
This is a charcoal drawing I completed for my advanced drawing class. It was a self portrait, of me as a zombie.Some more drawings for my advanced drawing class.

2009-04-25T17:18:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted for a few days so ill make up by posting a whole bunch of stuff.
First up is a sketch of batman next to a big fat guy that explodes and with a close up of his agonizing pain.... makes sense...right?

This is a screen shot from the game I'm working on with a friend for a class. Its still pretty early on but it will be roughly complete within a week.

This is the start of a 3d model version of my Treesitter character. Still pretty early.
More to come......

2009-04-22T08:55:00.001-07:00

This started out as a sketch in my notebook during my art history class and then I painted it over in photoshop. I think ill do something more with this guy. I did a few other sketches that I liked that day. Maybe I'll do some paintings of them next.

2009-04-19T15:56:00.000-07:00

Here's some concept sketches i was doing for a industrial cyborg slave. Currently I'm working on a comic page so that should be up soon. The comic has some guest characters from a friend of mine...

Some cool games that you need to check out:
Robot Dinosaurs That Shoot Lasers When They Roar
Where Is My Heart?
And while your at it, you should head over to SharkArm Studios and check up on the development of our upcoming game.

2009-04-15T20:07:00.000-07:00

Continuing with my last drawing , i decided to begin to develop the character more. His name is Tree Sitter. That's as far as I've gotten so far...

Oh, and he uses a bow.... And probably a small sword. More updates will come tomorrow!After looking at it more his colors made him come off looking like a large gremlin which is not what I wanted. I think I like this new blue version better.

2009-04-14T20:40:00.000-07:00

Lynn, and I both did a sketch based on the word "Root". Here's mine done with pencil then colored in Photoshop. I might decide to do some more with this theme and setting since I like it a lot.

Animation and some...

2009-04-13T05:52:00.000-07:00

Here's my first pencil drawn animation. Not perfect, but I was happy with how he turned out. Hopefully this summer I'll get around to doing a whole short in pencil then maybe colored on the computer. The whole thing took me about 2 hours to draw then 1 hour to put together in photoshop into an animated gif file.

This started out as a piece for class. I drew this to represent the word dream. It was later scanned and colored in photoshop.

This piece was done completely in photoshop. I wanted try out a different style and I was pretty happy with how it came out.
