CG Masters Class Demo

Another Environment sketch which evolved into a moody tonal painting.  The goal here wasn't as much about technical correctness as it was about developing the character of a setting to reflect the personality of the inhabitant.  Loosely based on The Princess & The Frog, I imagined this place as the circus big top home of a traveling Voodoo trickster.

Works in progress: Thumbnail drawing, lighting block out, rough tonal

CG Masters Class Demo

Here is a thumbnail drawing and tonal painting I did for my CG Masters Class: Environment Sketching for Production.  What began as a retelling of Beauty & The Beast became more of Disney's Haunted Mansion.  More to come!

LCAD demo: Castle Interior

The second assignment for my Advanced Drawing class is a design of a Castle or Dungeon Interior.  I used a recent drawing as a base for my demo.  I made it more ancient/mystical and weathered.  This is a layout of an exploration space for game play similar to the Uncharted series.

Urban Environment LCAD class demo

This is done for my Advanced Drawing for Game class at Laguna College of Art + Design.  Assignments mostly include environments, but also Prop Design, Call out drawings and some characters.  The first assignment was to design a present day urban environment.  I demonstrated my process of research, thumbnail drawing, lighting and digital painting.  The theme is loosely based on The Last of Us.

Kazone Art Academy class demo: Fantasy setting

This is done for my Visual Development for Animation class at Kazone Art Academy.  I demonstrated my process of research, thumbnail drawing and digital painting.  I studied Gothic cathedrals and fantasy castles.  The subject of this scene is based on Minas Tirith, in LOTR.
