I painted this image for my sister in law for Christmas. My wife's family draws names every year and I drew her sister's. Her two children dressed up as Tinkerbell and Peter Pan for Halloween and I thought it would be fun to do a painting of them. Since we aren't going to be with them for Christmas she has already opened it.

For my project I wanted to emulate the type of work that would normally be seen in the conceptual phase of a video game or animation production. This body of work, including the process work found in the book I will discuss, is intended to showcase my imagination and my ability to come up with unique characters, props, environments, and creatures. <br />
I have always been inspired by the type of artwork found in the “art of” books that accompany movies and video games. Through this project I set out to create my own “art of” book of sorts. I wanted to be able to showcase all of the development that goes into each aspect of the project, all the sketches and thumbnails, as well as the finished pieces. <br />
<br />
My book, “The Wellspring, a Visual Development Process” is a compilation of all of the work that went into the creation of each of the images shown below, plus a few others. In it you will find the story behind the project, many of my thoughts, impressions, and inspirations as the project went on, as well as descriptions of each step in the process. <br />
<br />
I feel that I have only been able to scratch the surface of this world that I have created but, I hope that through the work presented, I can inspire and leave you wanting more. As you take the time to look through my project, I hope that you are able to enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed creating it. <br />

Sorry for the long absence. Contrary to popular belief, I am still around :) I had a blast working for Picture Plane Imaging again these past few months but, due to the nature of the job I haven't been able to post anything. However, I am now back in school and will be able to post stuff regularly again. <br />
I finally found a little time to work on this piece again.

I've also had a lot of frustration with this character, but mostly fun. Here is a render of my character in a basic pose.

The artists whose palettes I decided to emulate are Sam Nielson and Brandon Dorman. These two artists are among my favorites because of their amazing sense of color. In the middle are color ratios to show the amount of each color as compared to the whole. And, on the left is my rough color comp based on those color ratios. I've also included the sketch just for kicks.

I dusted this off yesterday and have been having a ton of fun. I have been learning the program Zbrush which is a 3D sculpting tool. It's a beast to say the least but I feel like i'm making progress. I've only really started sculpting his face, beard, gloves, hat, and pants. I'm excited to get to all the other little details! This is a screenshot from within zbrush.

As part of the experience we were to take photo reference and use the colors and enhance the warm/cool aspects of them. I chose to take a photo of my beautiful wife Michelle. She's a great model and is always fun to paint. I've obviously exaggerated her proportions and stylized it a bit. <br />

We were to take the same drawing and paint it 3 different ways based off of the above criteria. The first is an image based on saturation. The second focuses value. The 3rd wasn't intended to look good. It was mostly to force us to keep everything the same value but create shapes with only color.

I was really in love with the idea of painting a circus scene, but in reality it didn't communicate the idea of Calvin and Hobbes very well. So, I started over...<br />
<br />
I went through a lot of ideas in my head and on paper about how I wanted to communicate the idea best. I thought Calvin's red wagon was a very iconic element of his character. And I know that Calvin is always pretending to be in different situations. What I am attempting to do is to show that Hobbes is pretending to be an astronaut, but also show the relationship between him and his stuffed Calvin. It's still very much a work in progress. But, I'm liking this direction a lot more than the circus one. <br />
<br />
I've also included two color comps that I am trying to decide between. What do you guys think? I'm open for any ideas you may have..

It's pretty similar to the sketch, just more refined.

This was kinda rushed so i'm hoping to get some good feedback from my fellow classmates tomorrow. There are a few things i'm still trying to figure out, but for the most part I think it's going to be a fun piece. I was trying to take a spin off of Calvin and Hobbes in reversed roles. I know that it's a little bit of a stretch but I still think it will make a fun illustration. I was trying to think of where a baby tiger could exist and have a stuffed toy to play with. The first thought that came was the zoo but, i've already done a series of zoo illustrations. So, I thought the circus would be fun. Anyway, we'll see how this turns out!Stephen Sittonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10734795639518246250noreply@blogger.com0
