Here’s another illustration from Drawer Geeks. The assignment was Iron Man. I ended up doing an Iron Boy, cuz I thought it would be nifty. Here he is, followed by some of the process I used to create him.

Another t-shirt design for Pantelope. 

A recent sketch from my sketchbook. Well not really from my sketchbook, as I rarely keep a real sketchbook. I do most of my doodling on post-it notes with sharpie markers. But “a recent sketch from a crumpled post-it note” just doesn’t sound as impressive.

This week on Drawergeeks, I got to pick the assignment! So I chose my all time favorite superhero, Chickenman. Jeezum Crow, did the drawergeeks ever rock the house on this one, wow.

Chickenman was an awesome radio serial from the 60’s and 70’s. I used to listen to Chickenman reruns all the time growing up in Vermont. You can listen to a sample episode here. 

So, here’s my Chickenman, and some step by step stuff on how I created him. Click on him for a bigger version.

A simple cartoon that expresses the longing in each and every one of our hearts…

Another post of a cartoon of an obscure bible verse. Ze dog, he is so happy to be coming back…

This was also a T-Shirt Design done for Pantelope.com.  The assignment was to do a piece of limited color art that expressed not only the “essence” of the human condition, but delve down into the very heart of what it is to live in a socio/economical/political environment such as those that are. And look at the pretty, limited colors.

I’ve been working on some new t-shirts for Pantelope.com. Here’s a couple different designs. She may not be the first cow, but she will always be The Last Cow.

This was our last assignment on Drawergeeks.com. Here’s some of the steps I used to create this:

Starting with the sketch. I wanted him to have a nice strong jaw, and big swooping hair. I thought replicating the curly motif found in his hair, in his cape would give the image a sense of symmetry. Plus I just like swoopy hair and curly capes.

Next I modeled him in Maya. This is a side, orthographic view of his wireframe model.

And here’s a shaded view of the model with the clouds.

And here’s the final rendered illustration. I used image-based lighting for this, my first time trying that. That’s where you use a high dynamic range image to generate the lighting in your scene. There are no actual lights in this scene. Kinda nifty huh? Click on the image for a bigger version.

I thought I’d start off the new Breadwig blog with a cartoon that kind of started it all. My original concept for Breadwig was a place where I could post my cartoons based on obscure Bible verses, so here’s the first one.
