something new...

So here is something that is sort of new... hope you like it.

Also a couple things... I just wanted to let my friends know that I am in fact looking for a job now so if you know of anything 2d (maybe even 3d) related, please let me know! I'm mostly interested in full-time but contract is cool too.

More importantly, I'm probably going to be an uncle in a couple hours!! My sister's baby is almost here and I'll probably be scooting off to the hospital again real soon. I can't wait to meet her!

Between being an uncle and looking for a job my plan is to get back into some weekly challenges. Conceptart.org currently has a really awesome CHOW topic but I might miss it this week, we'll see. I'll also be doing their COW (creature of the week) as well... As much as I feel I need to work on my human anatomy, I have probably ignored monsters for a bit too long hehe. Anyways, till next time~

Jeff's 5 items or less... and more!

After completing an art test about a week and a half ago (maybe I'll post it sometime...), I took a little break from being creative... This was a fun challenge to get me back into gear. If anything looks really bad I'm blaming it on being sick this week!


Here's a couple random things... This environment was one of my previous thumbs that I liked and wanted to work up. I think I started coloring it the night before I got my art test and at this point I likely won't keep working on it... so here it is! The other image is a warm-up study I did a while ago.

...and more practice.

I got a bit more confident with what I was doing while working on these - I started enjoying them a lot more too. I really like some of the results so I decided to let the image remain pretty large. I will probably do another page for fun and work up my favorites to colored illustrations.


A random but fun use of the above madness...

Practice, practice...

Practicing values here as well as other things... It was my goal to work fast and I mostly succeeded, though I did probably noodle a couple things to death a long the way. I'll probably try doing a page of thumbs every day for practice. The page with the larger images was done before I decided to work smaller... I'm not trying to say they are better than the others~

Also I think the Unearthly Challenge on Gameartisans is going to begin soon. It's kind of like the Dominance War but for alien landscapes - sounds interesting.

A couple new things...

Random stuff for fun.

I don't think I've posted this before, but since I couldn't think of a good way to integrate it into my current portfolio site, here it is. This was my portrait sculpture final back in sp of 08.

Here's some of the contract work that I did for CloudPlay. For some reason these files are a bit on the large side and compressed fairly poorly :\ Let me know what you guys think!
