Cerebrawl Effects Anims
Been working on these effects anims this month for Cerebrawl so I wanted to show you guys what I've been up to!
Ssireum Once Again Finished!
Finished this thing just in time for Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone! Attaching the raw PSDs for anyone who wants to see the process!
Ssireum once again
This is really turning into a series! I've always struggled to stay on any 1 topic for long as far as paintings go, but I think I found my stride with this one! I'm leaning more heavily on reference for this series. Wrestling poses are so difficult and intricate, it's really difficult an...
Ssireum finished!
Well that took way too long, hahaha. With Thanksgiving and other obligations I had to tend to, it was hard to find time to get to my desk and work on this. Either way I'm happy with how it came out!If you dig through these PSDs you'll find the reference image i used as well, so have fun!
Ssireum; Almost Done
This drawing's changed a lot as I worked on it. I should be done by tomorrow!
Picking Things Back Up
I know i've been falling behind on the posts recently. The past couple weeks have been pretty nutty. I became an ordained minister, officiated a wedding, started a new job, and joined the gym. I'm getting my focus back and I promise I'll be posting more regularly!
Explosion Anim Cont.
I can't believe I'm still working on this anim!
New Ssireum Drawing
A couple weeks back I worked on a drawing featuring some Korean folkstyle wrestling. It was a fun drawing to do, so I'm thinking about doing a series of them. I've started my second painting in that series, and I'll be posting updates regularly as i work on them!
Late Afterall
I wanted to finish this in time for Halloween, but it seems like my schedule has worked against me yet again this year. I gave myself plenty of runway to work on this, and I planned it to be a small painting at first, but it took on a life of its own. Leading up to 10/31 I had to visit my father who...
Animating explosions
Took a while, but this explosion animation turned out well! Now I just have to add it to Cerebrawl.
Something for Halloween
I keep forgetting to make something for Halloween. Not this year!I've been watching a lot of Kimagure Cook these days. If you don't know what that is, it's a channel where they gut and clean fish, then turn it into sashimi. After watching a while I was surprised to see how pretty the col...
Ssireum
I wanted to draw something involving the Korean folk style of wrestling, ssireum. I meant this to be a quick warm up drawing, but it turned into something that took a few days to complete.
M. Tireuse
Gonna get back on the horse of doing warm up paintings!
Animating explosions
Working on some explosions for OP#28. Been looking at a lot of metal slug for inspiration, but explosions and special effects animations are tough. It's a delicate balancing act between following your instinct but not letting your instinct drag you too far. Hopefully I'll get to record some ...
Knife Squad
I saw a few clear backpacks which gave me an idea to do this
Summer Girls 9.0; Time lapse video
And here's the video of my process! Wish I could just embed a video on here, but doesn't seem like you can just upload a video here...
Summer Girls 9.0: FINISHED!
Well, now that summer is over, I finally finished this damn painting. My computer could barely handle this PSD file towards the end. the final file size was about 275 MBs which means I can't upload the original PSD for this file. Instead I'll be putting together a time lapse video for you gu...
Summer Girls 9.0; The painting that never dies
Made some good headway on this, but there's still so much more to go!!! The end of summer is so close!
Summer Girls 9.0; I need a full day just to work on this thing
progress has been so slow! I'm chipping away at this. An hour a day here and there. I wish i could just grind it out and work on this!
Summer Girls 9.0; One of those days I wish I could paint faster
The painting is now in a good place. I just have to buckle down, and render stuff out. Follow the clues I put on the canvas. This is the fun part for me. I just wish I could paint faster.
Summer Girls 9.0; Just keep moving.
The basic layout of this painting is pretty much done now. Just have to come to terms with the fact that this is a large painting. Keep my patience, work areas piece by piece, make sure i don't lose focus on the larger picture.
Summer Girls 9.0; Building up
still continuing the color blocking. I still want there to be more interesting colors happening in the foreground and some more color play happening in the buildings in the background. None the less I'm slowly building this guy up.
Summer Girls 9.0; Slow and Steady
This is going to be a looooooong project, as I previously had said. When it comes to these 40+ hour paintings, just gotta remember to not get burnt out, walk away when you can so you can see your own work with fresh eyes intermittently. Usually I have a hard time managing my focus, and towards the e...
Summer Girls 9.0; Color Blocking
This is going to be a looooooong project, so let's start step by step. I roughly laid out the composition and I'm beginning with color blocking. I will continue to mess with this until i'm happy before I start rendering stuff out. I'll have to experiment with dropping dabs of color h...
Summer Girls 9.0; It has begun...
Finally started on the new Summer Girls! I'll be posting progress pics as often as possible. just as a warning, This is going to take a long time. Summer Girls is always a large scale painting i work on every year. This one will be no exception. So strap yourselves in, Let's do this!
For Gala
Man, I don't get a whole lot of fan art for Cerebrawl but whenever I do, I swell up with gratitude. Especially when it comes from an artist I highly respect. Yesterday was one of those days. Gala had recently did some fanart of Mass AKA SSK. Man, it was cool and I was stoked to see it. Today I f...
Sometimes you gotta do some color correction
It was brought to my attention that the last post was really hard to see. Especially on phones. Sometimes you just get used to your own monitor settings and draw something no one can see!
Happy Barfday, Noah
Hahaha, actually one of the reasons I've been MIA for the past week or so was so i could work on this for my buddy Noah. It's his birthday today, and I wanted it to be a secret. I asked him about his DnD campaign he's been running recently and I hope i didn't arouse suspicion!This on...
I'm Back!!!
Hello everyone! Sorry I've been so quite these past couple weeks. I just started a new freelance contract and had been using my free time to try to work on Cerebrawl. My schedule is evening out a bit again and I want to make sure to pay attention to this page more.I got to work on a warm up pain...
Hiro
Today I drew JG Genesis Key's character Hiro. I've been following JGGK for a while now, and I have to say, I'm not sure what they're working on, but I'm quite intrigued. Their sprite work is really dynamic and fun and they have a really unique aesthetic style. It took me a while ...
