This was for the latest Drawergeeks. You can click onnit for a nicer, bigger, more robust version. Honestly, I’m not sure what I was thinking here, other than perhaps trying to get Andy’s life to match his name. It’s a mood piece, yeah, that’s it.

This was an illustration for a new line of doggie comestibles called, you guessed it, Pork Chomps. This was a really great project because: a) I love dogs. b) I love dog treats. and c) The design company and art director were awesome to work with. Click on “more” to see a little bit of how I created this in 3d.

Here’s the wireframe of the character and logo.

And here they are shaded so you can start to see the forms a little better.

And here’s a little render test I did of the eyes area after setting up the lighting and materials.

And here’s the final image again. Click on it for a bigger, nicer, more chomperiffic version.

This illustration is more about Fay than it is about the King. I think. Well, it’s about something, I’m pretty sure of that.

One of my favorite cartoon strips, Cow and Buffalo, is done by Mike Maihack. He asked if I’d be interested in doing some doodles of his characters in my drawing style to include in the back of one of his comic books. So I did! I really dig these characters, I hope I didn’t slaughter them too much.

The latest DrawerGeeks assignment was to take a drawing done by a child, and then so an illustration based on that drawing. So I picked this drawing by my five year old daughter:

I decided I want to do the illustration so that it looked like painted clay, while following the spirit of her drawing as closely as possible. So here’s what it looks like:
