An Offering

In the future, machine dominates man.

Malibu Creek

For our final in digital landscape painting class, we went out to Malibu Creek to walk, talk, and most importantly, paint. It was a relaxing albeit chilly day. It started to rain a little, so I had to throw on a trash bag over my laptop to protect it. The trees reminded me of Miyazaki's extra floofy forests. 

This is what I was able to capture plein air, but maybe I'll fix this up later. (ha) But for now, enjoy!

15-20 minute poses, digital painting on Photoshop.

I'm trying to work out the expressiveness using what Photoshop brushes are available to me. It's harder to get the feel and sensibility when I don't have a real brush to manipulate in millions of ways. Sure I may have all sorts of layer modes, shape dynamics, dual brushes, jitters... but nothing beats a real paintbrush for sure.

Shadow of the Colossus final artwork

An edited version of the final boss Colossus, another keyframe for the final battle, and an aftermath scene.

Thanks for stopping by. Much more to come..!

60s 70s Girl

Painted from a live model dressed up as a 60s and 70s girl. It was really fun to paint in a graphic design inspired way instead of the usual render-esque method. We focused more on composition and flat shapes to show off the appeal of the decades. Thanks for visiting

Colossus character and Keyframe WIP

This is the last Colossus our hero fights. As you can see with the human scale, this guy is gigantic. His body is made of feathers, bone, wood, and stone. He is a rusty reddish and purple color due to his petrification. There are some issues with the foot closest to the viewer which I have to fix.

This is a work in progress for my second keyframe for the Shadow of the Colossus game. As you can see, the hero's just beginning the fight with the huge colossus. This is already changed quite a bit, but I'll leave this here for process' sake.

Thanks for viewing! There will be more to come!
