More Trek

By golly, Jim, I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day!

Rama

Software : Photoshop

The incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. Rama stars in the epic poem The Ramayana and is always depicted with a bow and arrow. My initial sketch is below the finished painting.

Self-Portrait

Digital Painting (Photoshop)

This piece occupied many of my hours over the past seven days.

Urodacus Manicatus

Here's a completely vector Scorpion. (Adobe Illustrator)

2009 Callaway Corvette

I started this project in Illustrator but then did the vast majority of the work in Photoshop. This illustration is basically lots of bezier curves and airbrushing. Time spent: apprx. 30 hrs.

Quick Sketch

This is a quick sketch in Photoshop referenced from an image I found of Iron Man.

A few drawings

First one- "Drapery on Chair"  Charcoal

Second - "Line Still Life"  Graphite

both 24" x 36"

A couple graphic designs

The first design is for a not yet established design studio (maybe some day).  The second design served as a team flag in a campus wide olympic event at my university. 

Hand study

Here's a few pencil/charcoal/ink sketches from a hand study I completed.  In total, there were about 50 drawings.  (Click on the image for a larger version) 

 

The Banana Snatcher

Here's a children's book style gorilla who's bonkers for bananas.  I really wanted to give the pastel look a try in Photoshop.

Enchantment

For this one I wanted to get into some realistic anatomy.  Both the final and my initial sketch are provided.  I allowed some of the pencil drawing and bold profile line work to show through on the final just because I like the look.  

Pete the Pirate of Iguanamo Bay

This one began as a pencil sketch and was painted in around 4 to 6 hours in Photoshop (I don't really keep track very closely).  I first drew very small sketches to explore what type of pirate I would like to create.  I then drew a final rough sketch which I subsequently redrew as a final line drawing.  This line drawing was scanned and painted in.  Below is the final painting with conceptual sketches.  

Caricatures

I drew these a while ago.  They're a mixture of Prismacolor, graphite, ink and water color.  They're actually all professors at my university
