I recently did a piece involving hatched lines and some tonal washes. I began with a paper drawn sketch and used the marked out perspective to lay down the initial outlines on the digital piece. I think the effect of using hatching as texture and adding gray tones for shading is something I'll poke at more.

Pinup Painting

I've been working on realistic paintings, trying to increase my range a bit. Normally I do vector illustrations and some cartoony stuff. Here is a pinup of a woman with a cutting torch. She is dangerously under-dressed, so please, if cutting sheet metal at home, wear appropriate clothing.

Flag Project

I got hired to produce a flag for an online game site. It's a sci-fi setting and the client had certain elements he strongly wanted. The file would be used for the web, so I decided it was okay to include some raster elements.

The client wanted the image to be glossy and black and have a neo-heraldic feel. I designed the initial elements in Illustrator and gave them some vector Web 2.0 polish.

The only raster element is the radial backdrop, which could have been created vector, but even as a vector it would require raster effects to be run on it, so in the end it was easier to create some waves in Photoshop and distort it to create the radial image. A levels adjustment and a gradient mask gave it the look that shows here.

In addition to the flag there were some signature images (for a forum) that needed to be made.

The signature images were easy enough to create, as it is mostly a repetition of the flag image and a background galaxy that I illustrated.

Finally some medals for in-game achievements needed to be constructed. It was a nice project and I'm fairly happy with the results given the constraints I was working with.

An Illustrator Tutorial from Sparked.biz

I came across a solid tutorial showing techniques for vector illustration of fashion drawings. This is way more efficient than how I would have approached it.
