Wow.

Yeah I haven't posted in a while I know. I was trying to limit my time spent on the internet. Amazingly enough it's been working. Except I've neglected my blog, facebook, deviant, and other such sites that am sort of responsible for updating. Anywho just thought I'd catch you up with the luck of the draws. Yeah we've still been doing those if you haven't seen them on our phetchblog. Here's what you missed:

The Once and Future King. This one was draw a traditionally noble character evil.


This one was simply "draw someone in profile" I did a little Wizard of OZ series. (don't ask me why Dorothy is so far over to the left. I must have shifted her and not realized...)


Okay this one was Masters of the Universe in a style of your choice. This one's heavily influenced by Mike Mignola. Oh and I noticed after the fact that his sword is really really short (shhh. don't tell him, it will hurt his feelings!)


God it's been so long all of these catagories are blurry to me. I think this one was just YOUR movie poster. I went with pulp sci-fi.


I think this one was to take TV show and do cartoon versions of them..


Choose a celebrity and create a Flinestones persona for them: Courtney Love


Jake the Intern (we got another person to draw! Although he's already gone back to school. But he was also really into comics.)

LotD: the return of the king....

Okay so even more luck of the draw sketches have been piling up since last I post. To make matters worse. My computer is having issues. I had to reinstall windows but now some of my programs won't work, or allow me to reinstall them. So I'll need to find time to do that. some day. throw it on the pile of shit to do when I feel like bashing my head into a wall. :)

Anyways. Least my laptop loves me still. Here are some of my older to present luck of the draws from work. oh yeah I should mention that we ran out of people to draw at the studio so we started coming up with a lottery drawing of random themes.

Celebrity Portrait using only Shapes: John Stewart


Mythological Creatures in Mundane Scenarios: Medusa gets a Manicure


Micah the Bubble Boy:


Ronnie and KHAAANNNNN!


Ryan: iToots Poster Boy


Welcome to Fight Club, Brad.


Programmer Love.

more luck of the draw...

sorry. sorry. I know I've been neglecting my blog. it has been months since my last post and subsequently there have been way more luck of the draw drawings done. So here's a second wave of stuff.... to be honest I don't remember the order that we did these in. some of them I spent less time on and were less happy with so I'm probably going to leave them out... check our work blog if you want to see all of them at: http://phetch.blogspot.com/



So these two were done for 2 different weeks first up was Meg:


..and a couple weeks later I did Sam (who also is a huge Disney fan):












This isn't even all of them. Like I said I kind of left off some that I didn't really like how they turned out, and there are even more to come....

sketches from work...

so sorry that I've been neglecting my blog. But that doesn't mean I haven't been drawing. I'm working at an animation studio now, yay! So I draw most the day. Well most of it's confidential, but we do have a little thing on the side going. So every week we have a luck of the draw, where one person from the studio is picked and we all do a drawing of them.

So Jason wasn't officially up, but it was his birthday around when this started:


The first week was Krishna, I did two:




Next up, Adam.


then came Jessie.


So that's what I have right now. There have been more since posting this, but I haven't put them on my home computer yet. So more to come. Although they seem to be getting worse as we've gotten more and more busy at work... :p

sunday sketch...

So it was a beautiful day today. I was working on some lip-syncing animation, but after staring at my computer for a while with the sun pouring in from the window I decided to take a break and get outside. Went for a jog. Took in the lovely breeze, and the simple joys of nature. Yeah I live in an apartment area, with an apartment complex on every corner, but there is a plot of land behind us where I sat down and was inspired to do a quick watercolor sketch of the bridge/storm drain thing...

Hopefully I'll get around to doing more. Because it's fun and relaxing, you get to be outdoors, and you are being artistically productive. Hooray! :)

For Nate..

So I finally got around to making that request for Nate. I know it wasn't much, all he asked was that my next sketch be one of Cable... but for some reason I just never got around to sitting down and making him one. I'm not a huge Cable fan, but I like him well enough. It's odd because I now have both Cable and Domino up here. I don't know what he looks like now, but from what I remember he had big shoulder pads, glowy eye, and lots of pouches.. yeah. but mostly shoulder pads.. oh and big guns...

What else is new. I'm working on several things at once it seems. I started a script for an animation, but may have to put it aside, because it looks like the start of a feature length script.. yeah. May go for things a little less ambitious for now, keep working on that script and then maybe try and option it out once it's finished... I'm also trying to get back into painting.

life drawing...

so aside from work not too much has been going on art wise. my mom is kind of in and out of treatment so I've been traveling back and forth to Dallas a lot more than usual of late. A bunch of the guys from work and I have started trying to attend figure drawing classes on a regular basis. which is what you're seeing here.. I saw Coraline, it was amazing. Ean from MICA works at Laika and apparently did storyboard work for the film. that's awesome... and Kirsten is still making a ton of animations and art, all the time. I'm totally jealous, and inspired by her work. I can't believe I went to school with such talented kids.

more figure drawings...
