Film Study

Here is a sketch I did, as a study, on one of my favorite films. The film is called Last Man Standing (Directed by Walter Hill). My dad showed me this film a long time ago. He and I always watch it together when we get the chance. The movie has some really nice shots, lighting and mood in it. So I chose one of the scenes I liked and this is the illustration that resulted. Here's a link to the movie....

Into the Belly of the Beast

Playing with brushes to try and achieve a sea water look.

Got in to work real early yesterday and did a warm up painting. This is what I came up with. I've also included my process.

new work - related to ship designs below this post

These were concepts of scenes that were for an unannounced game title. These were more along the lines of speed paintings and roughs, to capture it quickly. Each scene was taking place either on/in/around these air ships (designs for the ships are below this post). Unfortunately, the game never saw the light of day. All I am allowed to say is the tone / era set for this was a bit sci-fi / fantasy, while encompassing WWI / WWII eras and Steampunk. Machines were made of iron and steel, lots of rivets, lots of bolts, lots of smoke / steam, oil, gritty and dirty. We looked a lot at WWI and WWII history. Overall, it was a fun project to work on.
