I did this the other day as a quick demo in class for getting a woodcut/scratchboard type look in pshop or your image editing/creating software of choice, dig?

The publisher added a few new illustrations to the second printing of the book I illustrated “Happy Go Lucky” Here are a few of them.

My friend and faithful assistant Jeremy Knoll did the faboo modeling of the car which I then textured and lit.

My friend Mindi asked if I ever drew pugs. I realized no, I had never drawn a pug. So I started drawing some. Here is my first pug sketch. Pretty standard. Kind of boring. But drawing things more representationally at first helps me figure out what is defining about it. If that makes any sense.

“I need to Breadwiggify this”, I thought to myself in quotation marks. So  I drew this one.

That looked better, but I wanted to push it further, so I tried making the legs just sort of hang off the frong of him. I also gave him burger bun lips.

I need to loosen up, I thought without quotation marks. So I tried drawing him quicker, looser, more slobbery.

That led to this drawing, where he’s getting nice and lumpy/foldy. Kind of like poorly mashed potatoes in your laundry.

And here’s the final drawing I did. I think he’s cute in a weird puggy kind of way.

While I didn’t do the animation here, I did design, model and create this character and background. Igor was a monkey shill for a line Canadian simian shaped muffins.  I thought it’d be fun to put the song “This Hand …is a Mighty Hand” by Hoots and Hellmouth” to it.

Here’s the original packaging. Apparently it’s illegal to market monkey muffins to children under 13, so they had to pull the product from the shelves.

Well looky that. I just redid the Breadwig CafePress store. Even if you aren’t buying anything, it’s still fun to read the captions and look at the gorgeous model.

Just playing around with the materials on my glass elephant teapot. Thought I’d share a new render of it. Sharing is good, right?

I can’t seem to stop making Frankenstein pigs! Anyway, I decided to model up this guy in 3d. I think he’d make a swell toy.  Click on MORE for some “making of” stuff.

I’m trying to decide if I want to make this little guy in 3D. Any encouragement to do so? Or should I just leave him in his expressive, but flat existence?

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any 3d work, so this is what you’ll have to settle for. I took a 3d model I’d made from a few years back and starting playing around with some caustics. I’ve got some more versions of Thor I’ll post here soon. Click MORE for the original sketch and some close ups.

I just got copies of the book of short stories by Canadian author Terry Griggs, Quickening. I did the photo for the cover, and it looks great! Of course, it’s a picture of Fable, so how could it not?  You can read more about the book here:  QUICKENING
