Diamond Nights

Here’s a background I made for a freelance concept that never was finished. I like the gradient diamond pattern so I thought I would put it up to show off. :D

Warm Sunshine: The Shipping Dock

I wanted to try to take some Seattle imagery from downtown and pull it together into a painting. I realize that it still feels cartoony versus digital photo-ish so ill have to continue to work on the background i think. Any suggestions?

So i thought i would create something new with the new ‘Mixer Brush’ in CS5. I mostly like it that you can blend color on the canvas which gives a more painterly feel. In this case its a bugs journey.

My symbol for the Spirit of God and how i feel its presence.

I feel the Spirit’s presence as a physical sensation in my body as a cold, cool, comforting peace (blue). I feel the Spirit as a very (white) light that is radiating inside me. I also have felt the Spirit as a warm (orange) fire in my chest which to me radiates them all as a ‘cold/white/fire’ which gave me the inspiration to do this logo. Parts of the logo are a symbol of eternity symbolizing ‘one eternal round’; a fire symbolizing the intensity of the Spirit’s presence; and a pair of wings that represents an uplifting and celestial context. Thanks for viewing. Enjoy!

Roll Out The Red Carpet

This is a flyer that was made as a ‘let me see what you can do and then we will hire you’ which turned out to be a successful piece but was never used. Anyhow i think its a great piece and it has a great composition. I like the color palette also. :D

Creativity Through Music: Tron Legacy

I was listening to Tron Legacy on my computer and i couldn’t help draw something cool. I felt the music was part of my creativity and i dont really know where im going with this but this is the first sketch. I like the temple feel to it and i like the dirtiness of it. I guess it will really come to life when i learn to add color. So far its just a cool idea in motion.

Model Provided by Phoenix Online

Just finished texturing this cabin/ticket booth for Phoenix Online Studios new game called the The Silver Lining which has been a good way i have been able to practice my texture work. I textured both the cabin and the bench. The models were given to me by Michael Fortunato. I had three months to work on both textures. They had me re-UV the layout to maximize 0-1 texture space and bump up the resolution from 512 to 1024. Below are the actual textures i use and created in Photoshop CS4 and Crazybump.

Some fragmentation happened in the process in the light map. This was my first opportunity outside of school to try  what i learned in school to be used in real life.

Original files Phoenix Online Studios gave me

Thanks for viewing. The bench texture came from this little corner down here on the left.
