Hi! How's everybody doing? Good? Glad to hear it!<br />
Since I haven't been able to post anything recently due to NDA's among other things, I figure that the least I can do is give you some quick sketches from the last couple of weeks.<br />
<br />

Note that these were pretty quick work. The new thing about these, at least for me, is that my regular workflow consists of first making a values-only version of the image (that is to say, I make a black and white picture), which I then paint over. For these, I went straight into color, which was a bit daunting. They are what they are, but I thought at least I'd share. Not least because it makes a nice departure from my normal compulsion to sit and detail things ad nauseum.<br />

T-Shirts indeed. I caved and opened up a shop over at <a href="http://metalmcbiff.spreadshirt.net/">http://metalmcbiff.spreadshirt.net</a>. There's not a lot there at the moment, but if I sell a couple of shirts, they'll open up more room for me to submit designs to.<br />
Anyway, thank you guys so much for convincing me to take this step. It remains to be seen that it'll actually generate a single dime for me, but it's certainly feeling like a step in the right direction regardless!<br />
<br />
Here's a little sneak peek :o<br />

That's crazy. Well, I've been working on the ipod/ipad games I believe I've previously mentioned. In doing so, I've also neglected painting for my own amusement. This became painfully obvious as I set about making this particular image. I don't think I've ever feelt so inadequate while painting as when I made this one. I think the result isn't too bad, but good Lord was it ever an exercise in frustration!<br />
Crits and comments are welcome as always.<br />

Zombie-Time!The G. W. Bush painting I made last week got some pretty good responses here and there on the web, so I decided to make some more (un)dead presidents (they could totally form a band now!).<br />

LET'S GO! Crits and comments are more than welcome as always. These are not dated, in the sense that I've worked on some of them on and off during the week. They're thus posted in order of completion, rather than when they were started.<br />

Consequently I don't know exactly how much I'll be painting!<br />
Still, a certain mr. <a href="http://sirmikeofmitchell.com/">Mike Mitchell</a> said that I ought to do something more with my images, rather than just do value study after value study. He gave me a whole slew of ideas, the most notable one being ZOMBIE-FYING the portraits. Thus a 90 minute quickie on my part today that I'll probably add color to at some point;<br />

I had a lot of trouble with these, in all honesty! Tilted head plus light values does not a sense make in my head. Then again I don't really sketch these out with any kind of understructure but instead go straight to painting. I imagine I could've shaved quite a substantial amount of time off of these, had I actually made the appropriate effort and done some sort of basic guidelines for the facial features first. Instead it was lasso tool bonanza towards the end :o<br />

It has some issues that I'm not quite happy with, but overall I think it's done in a style that I could get quite comfortable with and think people might enjoy looking at!<br />

Only four paintings this week, one of which turned out quite poorly much to my chagrin. Still, I'll put it here as it IS one of many speedpaintings/studies, and thus qualifies for the blog. I also experimented a bit with a new approach to color this week. The overall results are, I think, quite pleasant -- With that one nagging exception!<br />

That means more paintings!Right! Well, might as well get to it. Trying to wrap my head around environments now. They require a completely different approach than portraits, but the goal for me is, to keep things moving along in the same direction, to get a sense of the values involved. Pju, pju.<br />

School! That's right, school. I've been working as hard as I can to improve my all-round rendering techniques and production pipeline know-how. I'm taking a week off now, but after that I expect to sort of be back with more images. I expect the first one will be quite... sad, though. I am very much out of practise when it comes to value studies and painting from direct reference, so we'll see what happens!<br />
<br />
Anyhow, here's the picture from the final week of the course (effective work-time was two days though, for reasons this blog has no business covering). Pitch painting for a CG music videos for Brigitte Bardot's Pas Davantage.<br />

Consequently, I think I might be regressing! Trying to get one of these done a week at least with one day to recouperate at the moment.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I'm not complaining, school is some of the best fun I've ever had (and extremely enlightening!), but I think it'll be a while before I can make one of these again in decent time without too much frustration!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
