Some Illustration via Photoshop

Just thought I’d share some of my favorite Photoshop work.

Animoids – Jane Castello

Jane Castello is a the second member of the Animoids corp to gain morphing powers, and the first to achieve them on purpose.

Creatures of Lithra

Previously, I posted about the serial fantasy story I’m working on with my brother. It is up and running, with mostly regular updates. [here]

In the world of the story, there are several races. Specifically, the Crossbred, the results of men mixed with various animals. I created some concept art for them, which I will showcase here. Each drawing was created by creating the basic pose in MakeHuman, adding a photo reference for the animal portion, then tracing and shading the image in Photoshop. The artistic style varies, but my “excuse” is that they were “drawn by different artists” in the “book” these are taken from. *Ahem* Anyway, check these out.

Update 10-02-09

Hello, all of my like, one readers. Wow, what mighty influence I wield. Anyway, if you see this, it’s just to let you know that I’m pretty busy, but there will still be a post here every other Saturday. (Ambitious, eh?)

Also, the fantasy serial I co-author is updating every saturday, so you can check that out. New pages will be added occasionally.

Enjoy!

Convergence – Holdar Shuttle

This is the Holdar shuttlecraft, a small two man ship, not very maneuverable, and somewhat slow, but highly reliable and excellent defenses.

Superheroes – Missi and Chrissi Brooks

Melissa and Christina (called Missi and Chrissi by everybody) Brooks are identical twin sisters, nine years old Because identical twins have virtually the same DNA, they both acquired powers, but because their personalities differ, these powers manifest themselves differently.

Convergence – Writing

As you may know, Convergence began as a competitive chain story with my brother. I would write a paragraph or two describing the battle from my side (the Holdar Supremacy), and he would do the same with his (The Kassis). They were not very polished, because you just wrote your section and that was it, no re-writes. It was fun though, until eventually it stopped because of disagreements. (“My people would never do that”, despite it being a logical conclusion to his prior works, etc.)

Anyway, here are the first segments of the story. Notes will be on the bottom, and more installments will follow.

Animoids – The Book?

Since I started the Animoids series as a stick figure comic book, I have tried putting it in written form several times, with different tones ranging from serious to humorous, and I’ve since decided that the latter approach is clearly best suited for this idea. After all, the idea of someone swinging around on a twelve foot tongue is just too funny to play straight. As such, I present a (somewhat dated) draft of Animoids as a book. This is the first two chapters of the best draft.  (My earlier writing was clunkier, as you can see, but I will be re-writing this sometime)

My Favorite Sketches

A quick post today. I don’t draw by hand quite as much as I used to, but I am going to try and get back in the habit. Anyway, here are some of my favorite sketches. Scanned and cleaned up in photoshop. Click for larger view and more information.

Lego Video Game Suggestions: Part Two

In last weeks post, I wrote the ideas that I think would make good Lego video games, but were unlikely to happen. This week, I will list the video games that are much more likely to actually be made. (In no particular order)
