Category Archives: Famous Characters
To celebrate the new breadwig.com design (which is basically just a much simpler/cleaner version of the old breadwig.com), I decided to do an illustration of one of my favorite cartoon characters. Click on VIEW FULL POST to see how I made it
Sounds scary don’t it? It do, it do. But it’s really just a short making of movie for my illustration of Ben Grimm from the Fantastic Four. I put it together for a talk I’m doing for the local chapter of Siggraph. Anyways, enjoy, and it really does look better in HD on Vimeo.
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...
a delicately rendered illustration of the delightful Strawberry Shortcake. Wheeee.
Here’s my second Where The Wild Things Are tribute illustration for Terrible Yellow Eyes. If you scroll down a tad, there’s another process vid. If you watch it on Vimeo it’s even in HD! Oooooooo. (It really does look much better watching it there.)
I’m part of a group of illustrators who are doing tribute illustrations of Where the Wild Things Are. We’re going to be giving the illustrations to Maurice Sendak for his 81st birthday. Cool huh? You can check them out here! http://www.terribleyelloweyes.com/ Anyway, here’s mine.
I got invited to participate in an illustration exhibition at the Odori Museum in Sapporo Japan. I’m pretty excited. Looks like I’ll have three poster illustrations at the show which runs the second week of December. The theme of the show is fictional advertising posters, so I made one using my very relaxed Tarzan character. I’m posting...
Well here he is. I tried some new shading stuff and it worked out pretty good I think. Read on for a lil’ bit of making of spiff. Here’s the base modeling of the scene. Nice and blocky. And here’s the body smoothed out with the material applied. I find this ridiculously disturbing. I hope...
I did this for the latest drawergeeks. Read on to see a bunch o’ making of crap. First up is the sketch. Drawn directly with a sharpie, no pencil scribblinz involved. Then… yeah, I went into Maya and drew out the curves/outlines. I thought about doing this in Photoshop or Illustrator, but you know,...
I did this for the latest DrawerGeeks. Click on the “more” link below the pic to see a whole buncha making of stuff if’n you like.
This week’s drawergeeks was Indiana Jones. Since I’ve been sketching so many robots lately, I figured, why not? Keep reading for a bunch of step by step stuff. First came the sketch. Sharpie on post it notes, of course. (shhhhh, this was drawn during a meeting.) My really simple robot drawings translate into really simple...
For the latest Drawergeeks. Click the image for a bigger version. Click “more” for a little step by step.
Here’s my take on good Ol’ Cap. Just posted to this meme. I tried a new technique here where I layered a bunch of newspaper scans in photoshop and slowly unpainted the Capless parts. Read on for some nifty process stuff. Here’s some close up images of the illustration so you can see all the layering...
Snow White was the theme for the latest Drawergeeks. I’m not exactly sure what I was thinking here other than I was sort of wondering what it would be like if Snow White was lounging around at home. You know, watching TV, snacking on her new box of mail order apples, not being able to...
I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the enormous and downtrodden. Hey, Freaky Kids is producing a t-shirt based on my lil’ monster painting. Wheeee! Check it out at: www.freakykids.com
