Light, Color and E3!

 This was a piece I brought up from a sketch to a bit more finished concept.

Original sketch...

I only had an evening to work on this piece, but I hope to continue developing it further as some areas are still rather unresolved or not up to par yet. I do think the direction it is headed is nice however.


In other news: I got to visit E3 this year! I checked out a ton of the new titles, and even got to participate in the EA Need for Speed Rivals gamer tournament! I came in second, but I got a T-Shirt! The game is going to be awesome by the way :)

Also, gotta have some artwork, so here are a couple of airplane tablet paintings. Its getting smoother to paint on the tablet which is pretty cool!

Emotional Color

For this assignment I explored color and how it changes over time based on the mood of each scene as well as the action. The story takes place over three locations, although one I left out was the traveling between the first and second locations (The hut on the mountain to the destination, some kind of castle/shrine)

Study and Extras

 A study from the great Jamie Jones, trying to figure out his water and color choices with more overcast comps. Also, a couple random comps. I liked some elements from each, gotta keep pushing it!

Heat bloom

Playing with the affects of dense atmosphere and lighting.
I reworked it following a critique for a much better composition.
