Sexy Batman

Batman! Where are YOUR PANTS?!!!
It's not what you think! Wait... what WERE you thinking? I wouldn't normally draw something like this... it just happens to be my day job.

Just a couple of mismatched textures from an upcoming Fluik game. I'm not overly excited about the game, but it will probably do really well in the app store. Sigh.

Children's Festival WIP

I am participating in the Mural Mosaic for St Albert. The theme of the painting is cultivate life. I decided to make my panel about the St. Albert Children's Festival.

The starting point.
I started blocking out what I wanted. I wanted to capture the joy and wonder on a child's face.

I really loved how it was looking at this point. A part of me wished I had just kept it like this.
But then another part of me wanted to throw in lots of fun colors and put more excitement and joy in the girl's face (or at least attempt to).  I may have gone a bit too wild with all the colors. This is currently the 'final version' but I should probably go back in and add more whites to the center. Especially now that the deadline was pushed back.
NEW: I made a final update before I sent it in. I brightened the middle up a lot, fixed the shoulder and removed the swirls. I'm pretty pleased with this version.

Foreign Beauties: WIP

These are my two characters: Lisa and Ardyn. They are based off some real people in real life. Ardyn is tall and athletic. Lisa is small and dorky. Together they go on some amazing adventures, which I will be basing off of some real life adventures.

"Pain is just weakness leaving your body"

This has been a pet project of mine for several months now, but this has been the first picture that I am actually starting to be satisfied with. Part of the problem is that I am not happy if they don't look like the people they represent. 

I would love some critique on this (especially if you know the folks they are based on).

Spaceships

Doodling nothing but spaceships somehow makes me feel like a jr high boy.

I'm not really a spaceship or vehicle or gun drawing person, so I feel like I did a pretty good job. When the game I am working on is released I will post some final artwork up. :)

Office Jerk Doodles

So I thought I would share a few Office Jerk Doodles. I have quite a few. I think I picked the most entertaining pages.
Here are some early concepts of the Office Jerk
More early concepts. I had one that was even more Dwight than the one we used.



I love the one in the bottom left corner. I don't know why I was doing so many signatures on this page. :)   Can you spot a male Leia and a female Han Solo?


This one has a whole bunch of the objects too. There's also some female office jerk doodles? I hope my math is correct otherwise that would be embarrassing.

Here are some great facial expressions. Oh and I think that's a doodle of myself, in the top left corner, listening to music on my big purple headphones.

Scary Pumpkins

A spooky pumpkin will be released in Office Zombie before Halloween...


Sketching pumpkins sure gets me pumped to carve some! I won't be carving a scary pumpkin though. All I know is that it will most definitely be very nerdy. :)

Squids

When I was designing the Fluik logo, I did a lot of doodling. Before we even got to the idea if a squid, we were thinking of doing a ghost. Maybe I will post those doodles one day.

Did you know that squids have 3 hearts? I'm starting to think that I have a weird love for slimy creatures (worms, snails and slugs also fascinate me).

If looked you looked at my older blog posts, or if you have played one of our games, you may have seen this guy before. Normal squids have 8 arms and 2 tentacles. Ours only has 4 arms.

Here is the final design. See if you can spot the squid concept we used.

In case you are wondering I named him Henry.

Telephone Pictionary



Here are my favorite drawings from my last telephone pictionary game.

For those who don't know what this game is: The game starts with one person writing a sentence at the top of a piece of paper. He/she passes the paper. Next person draws a picture of the sentence, then folds the paper so the sentence is hidden. The next person writes a sentence based on the picture and then folds to hide the picture. Repeat process until you run out of room on your paper. Hilarity ensues.

Here's one of the few times in life where the worse you draw the better. More room for interpretation. So sadly my drawings, while pretty awesome, don't really distort the sentence much.

Gunner 1 Icon

Here is the icon for Gunner. (In case you were wondering what it looked like... which I know you weren't. Sigh.)

Gunner 2 Icon

It's kind of cool too see it go from my rough concept to the final-ish version.

I decided I needed to do a self portrait to help my subconcious mind realise I have no hair. :)
