A sense of adventure

Last semester I was assigned to do 100 sketches in my sketchbook. The sketch above was maybe the sixth or seventh sketch of an elephant doing different tasks. It had a good response from people. So I thought I would paint it. I had some helpful feedback from some excellent artists during the process (Thanks Rani Bean and Heather Michelle Owens). Enjoy!

Bad hair day

This was for a weekly sketch challenge. The theme was "bad hair day". 

The ugly habit of smoking doesn’t care about you.

This is my submission for the deviantART Make Ugly contest. Don't smoke!

fantasy landscape digital painting

This is my fantasy landscape assignment for Don Seegmiller's digital painting class. I took a Sci-fi direction.

Battle Damage

This is one version of the the alien head that I'm doing for an assignment for Don Seegmiller's summer digital painting class. It's a very fun class. 

I hope to see this alien in a bar somewhere in the universe.

Always in motion is the future

Now that Lucasfilm has been purchased by the Walt Disney Company, new Star Wars movies will probably continue well into the future. I'm hoping they turn out to be entertaining.

I thought it would be fun to see what a one sheet poster might look like for the new movie with the orignal cast at their current ages. So I put this epic poster together using current images of the cast.

 I read somewhere that the story for the new movie will focus on Luke Skywalker being the "Obi-wan" type character passing his knowledge to a new female protagonist. I think it sounds like an interesting story.

Now that this is posted I'll want to come back and look how off I was compared to the actual poster. It should be fun.

Brains

This is a sample of a recent commission it did. The request was to make him look like the walking dead. Very fun to do! Enjoy!

Acrylic final

This is my final for the acrylic class I took this semester at UVU. I REALLY enjoyed this last painting because it was not a head or face. The reference is from here. I am a big fan of Ryan Church's art, so I thought it would be challenging to see if I could paint something of his in acrylic. 

End of the semester! Hooray!

Thanks for stopping by.
