ultimate tree house

initial idea for game artisans current minicomp. a few things I like alot I dont.

Poofy Deer

In the forest that Stinkybear calls home, is a clique of deer who are really snooty snobs. Not in an elitist kind of way, but in a We're-so-pretty-and-graceful kind of way. They are always making fun of Stinkybear behind his back. They aren't too smart, and all they're really good at is looking pretty, and getting shot by the robot hunters that stalk the land. Above is Poofy, their leader.

Lead & Whiskey

Workin on a "Drink & Draw" themed sketchbook.

This is an idea for the cover. Characters are Pistol Pam & Boozey-Robo...

Undead Joel & Tiff!!

As some of you may or may not know, our friend Joel has passed away this week along w/ his wife.

Fortunately, they've come back to life as zombies...

Adventure!

Tried something different again. Spent a couple hours on it

* Update

Stinkybear

Way over-animated walk cycle of a character named Stinkybear.

UPDATED 6/25: Fixed muzzle snapping problem.

Balance

Hey! It's me again! This week, the lucky pose is balance. Funny how the best way to communcate balance is to have the character be almost off balance. Comment away. Thanks!

Exhausted

This week, the pose is "exhausted." Again, I need to pick one that communicates (with a minimum of cliche') and refine it with a 3D pose. For example, you can check out what my "strength" pose turned into below. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Pirate joke

So this crusty old pirate walks into a bar, with a big steering wheel sticking out of his pants.

The bartender looks at the pirate, then at the steering wheel, then back to the pirate.

As the pirate sits down at the bar and orders a drink, the bartender asks, "Hey, did you know you have a big steering wheel sticking out of your pants?

To which the pirate replies,

"Gateway into the afterlife"

Considering I havn't done a full 3d environment at home for about 2 years now maybe this will motivate me.

Vive Di Notte

She Lives by Night
Once she was the hunter...now she is the hunted!

This was a fun one to do. I wanted to illustrate a book cover that wasn't exactly a straight up take on an American pulp crime novel cover, but was an amalgamation of several other source materials as well, particularly Italian horror movie posters of the 60s and Fumetti covers (Italian comic books). I like the lurid colors they use in the movie posters (especially those of Mario Bava and Dario Argento), which really reflect they way their movies actually look and feel. (Which is sort of unusual with movie posters that are illustrated; often times, stylistically, they look nothing like the movie they are promoting.)

The name of the fake publishing company, Diabolik, is a nod the the Bava movie Danger: Diabolik.
