New technology gives birth to robotic dog!

So, my boss recently acquired two brand new Cintiqs for the studio, so I've been dinking around with them on off hours. I have to say it is an amazing tool!! AMAZING! And yeah... Here's a robo dog!

Quick sketch from Espresso Royale

This is a quick sketch/painting from a coffee shop near my apartment. I was only granted about ten minutes of time before the guy left, so it's not quite as finished as I want it to be. But hey, it's good practice for speed painting, right?

New Peculiar Jones design!

So, as I'm creating pages for this story, I thought that a newly designed version of the hero should be created as reference (I was never truly happy with the first design - somewhere in my blog archive...). And here he is! I'm a lot happier with this version of Peculiar Jones, so he'll look something like this in the actual comic.

Toy designs!

Here is a page of toy concepts I came up with as a personal exercise. I've really been digging designer toys lately, so I've been creating some of my own designs as a side project of mine. Hopefully soon I will be making clay mock-ups of these little guys!

Maurice the Rat

Yet another character for the Peculiar Jones comic! This is a talking rat named Maurice, aptly named after Maurice LaMarche, the legendary voice of Brain (Pinky & the...) Another great character from the brain of Ted Anderson!

New Study from Dunn bros.

This is a quick painting (about 45 min.) from Dunn Bros.

I had a lot of fun with light placement on this one, as the brighter tones really stands out against the dark complexion of the man. Also, with these quick paintings, I've really been trying to limit my palette as much as possible.

New character design for "Peculiar Jones" comic

This is another character design I created for the Peculiar Jones comic project I'm working on. His name is Howie the Yowie, and he's a regular of the story. I tried to give him a little Teen Wolf vibe, even though he's a yeti.
