Blairify!

Michael Sporn has a great post over at his splog today highlighting the wonderful magnificent lovely Mary Blair! How can anyone not just fall in love with every thing that woman touches. (I might possibly be the kid who went on It's a Small World perpetually *until my parents couldn't take it anymore* the first time I went to Disneyland). Anyways I've really got to study her style more and more. I'd love to try to implement her spectacular use of color in my work.

Here's today's strength pose!

(this one was a bit tricky I was trying to follow my initial sketch but this model didn't really want to adhere to original design. I was trying to get 2 lines of action going one on the front contour of his body and then a C like shape from the back foot to the back hand).

As always any critiques and comments are always welcomed and appreciated!

Have a wonderful day!

Triple Strength Week 3!

Starting this week off with a more Conan themed strength pose.

Early Update!

Quick little update before work!

A few months vs 11 minutes

While reading through the Avatar the Last Airbender (the art of the animated series), something really caught my eye. People talk about loving the work, and how much effort goes into a piece of art, but when you're actually given time frames on how long things took or how short, it really hits home. I was shocked at 3months for 11 minutes and I couldn't figure out if that seemed really long, or really short. Three months in most people's view is a significant period of time, but when it comes to creating something that you really love and want to be perfect it doesn't seem like nearly enough time.

Dump Extras!

Scott Lemmer has been pushing all of us ton, like I've said before, Keep it Simple. So this week was all about, dumping extras, just focus on what the core idea is. If it's not really helping the whole concept dump it!

New Site, New Logo!

So I finally took the plunge and got my own domain a couple nights ago, and am now working on building a new site, don't worry the blog will still be where I post everything, its just the site will have an easy to navigate collection of drawings, and animations.

Anyways, here's the logo I've been working on. What do you think?
