Butch and Sundance

I'm not sure why I never posted this, I've had it for a few weeks now.  Enjoy!

Raphael

So I started playing around with clipping masks in Photoshop and the textures just kept coming.  I was just doing it messing around and then I end it up kind of liking it after the light and background were put in.  Enjoy!

HELP! MONSTERS!

So I'm going to enter a t-shirt design contest and it's all about monsters.  What I need your help with is deciding which one to submit.  My main concerns are character design, line work, and color.  If you could just let me know which of the four you like best that would help a ton!  Thanks!

More Snow

So at my job I shovel snow whenever it sticks to the walkways.  This is winter I have had to do it quite a bit and it gets tiring very fast.  It seems that every time the snow finally melts off of the parking lot and walkways we get more snow.  It looks like this weekend will be the same.  I drew this picture as a representation of the conflict that is going on inside me since I heard the news.  What's the point of shoveling?  It's just going to come back anyway.  Useless.

And, for you own enjoyment, here's a version with a paint filter on it.  Enjoy!

Caught: 50 Bucks

So I recently found out that throwing snowballs in Provo can be penalized by law--fifty bucks.  Good thing I haven't seen any cops lately, because I would be rolling in the DEBT.  Anyway, upon hearing this, I was instantly inspired to draw this piece of work.  I did it in one day, spanning from about 1:30-9:00 with a large break while watching the little one.  Lots of fun and I feel the characters are quite enjoyable.  I also read about other crazy laws in Utah but they seemed akin to child labor laws--silly and outdated.  Enjoy!

SPORTS MUGS!!!

So this is for a "licensing" assignment.  Essentially we were supposed to create four products that we can hypothetically sell to someone for a flat price and then say "GIVE ME 15% OF THOSE PROFITS!!!" or something to that effect.  I got in a little over my head and did two characters per product and I ended up spending A LOT of time in the illustration lab.  When I saw the finished product, I felt it was worth the effort.  Each side by side mug is supposed to be only one mug--just showing both sides.  Each mug sort of tells a story, if you want to think of it that way.  Enjoy!

NHL IS BACK!!!

Well, the NHL saved at least a bit of its season, and I'm pretty pumped about it.  I would like to think that all the NHL 11 I played over Christmas break with my brother and brother-in-law had something to do with that.  Here is my little drawing I did and finished in photoshop.  Wait, what?  He's wearing Stars colors?  Hmm, that's weird.  Enjoy!

Final GIF

So for my final project in one of my classes I have to do an animated GIF of one of my characters.  Here is Jed Garvey: Zombie Hunter.

Zombie Hunters

So I'm working on one of my finals.  I'll skip the details on what it entails, but here are two of the characters:

Jed Garvey and Eric Hadley

What I've Been Doing Lately

So I haven't posted anything from my school assignments, not sure why, but I'll continue with that trend today.  Here are a few of the things I've done recently.

I've started cartooning like this lately; since everyone has the ame basic face you really have to pick out certain characteristics to get across who it is.

The plumber for the Regency.  

Spiderman--trying out a new style.
