Get Away From Her You &#@%!

I grew up on this movie and this is easily one of my favorite scenes. H.R. Giger's design on the Aliens is so much fun to draw and Ripley is such an awesome character that I couldn't resist. This is a piece I've had in my sketchbook for a while and it feels great to finally get it done! 

PS This REALLY makes me want to do something from Prometheus!

PPS No trash talking Prometheus on this blog.

Character Designs

I've been taking some sketches from my sketchbook, coloring them and making them presentable so I can use them in my character design portfolio. I had a ton of fun drawing these little guys. Here's what I have so far.

Little Red

This is an illustration I did for a character design assignment. Every time I heard this story growing up I always pictured the wolf being much more scary than he was in the old cartoons.

Happy Dog

I saw a fun picture of a Pitbull online so I thought it'd be fun to do a quick dog sketch!

Happy Birthday!

Here is a sketch I did for my friend's daughter's birthday. She really likes Zombies and since I couldn't get her an ACTUAL zombie pinata I just drew a scene of how it might look.... (lets hope Dad picked out a ripe one!)

Fatherhood

I recently did an illustration for Covenant Communications. They needed a cover illustration (ASAP) for an article titled 'Fatherhood: The Manliest Profession'. This was one of my first times working with an art director back and forth through email. It was fun and a great learning experience. Here is the process from thumbs to finish as I worked with covenant and made changes along the way.

(I believe this illustration was for an ebook that will be appearing withing the next 6 months, ill post a link)

Easters

Hey guys! It's been a while since I posted. Things are getting super busy with my last semester being halfway over and also trying to get my BFA project done as well as other personal projects. The UVU illustration club was doing a service project and asked us to come up with some pieces to donate to the Primary Children's Hospital that they could hang there for Easter. I thought that was a great idea and even though I couldn't spend as much time as I wanted, hopefully it'll cheer up some kids. Happy Easter!
