Ganesha Concept Final

Done! For now...
This took longer than expected. Mainly rendering all the details in the jewelry...
I like it for now, though I might change my mind tomorrow. I will probably find some things that need modification too.
I could probably post more steps of the process if anyone is interested. Otherwise I'll probably move on to another project.

ganesha concepts

My previous sketch got very fleshed out but never finished... I'll either finish it more before posting it, or just show its current state and leave it alone. In the meantime, I've moved on and have been working on a fighter Ganesha concept. Here is my current progress:

I will be fleshing out number 2 and I hope to finish it this week. If it doesn't happen, I definitely have other sketches to share before Monday comes around.

Grumpy Cat

My own little visual study into what exactly makes Grumpy Cat look so grumpy.

Not nearly grumpy enough though...Also, fur.

Figure Studies

I have been doing a bunch of figure studies from Andrew Loomis' amazing book 'Figure Drawing For All It's Worth':

 It's an amazing book, the best I have found when it comes to learning anatomy for artists. Others might prefer other guides, but this one is my personal favorite.
Here are some of my studies:

I'll probably end up filling my sketchbook with these studies.

 I have also been having a lot of fun with a new ink brush-pen I got, some of these studies were done with it.

Late Post and News

Sooo... it's been a while. But I have a great reason! I got a job!
So I'm now an artist at Eyes Wide Games, and I mainly work on the Walking Dead IP.

You can easily find the game on facebook if you are interested.
But as a result, I haven't had much time to work on my own art, and I can't really share pictures of what I have been doing there...

But I have been working on other things! I participated in the Global Game Jam two weeks ago, and the current prototype of the game is available to play online. Here are some pictures of the game, as well as a link as to where you can play it

 

Play It Here!

And of course, I did not do this alone. The whole team worked on the mechanics of the game, I did the art with my friend Rose Peng , Vu Ha coded the whole thing, and Andres Villarreal did the music. You can find more information on the team HERE.

None of my posts are complete without some sketches, so here are random doodles to close this:

Sketchbook and zoo

I have renewed my zoo membership and purchased a mini watercolor set that is easy to carry and use over there. Here are the results from my last trip:

 

 

Well The panda and leopard were practices at home from photos taken there on a previous trip, and the komodo dragon and warthog were done on the spot.

And here are more random hand practices from my sketchbook:
