New greeting card

Monster Family

You’ll be surprised but this one is not a personal project, it’s fully commercial artwork, which means they actually pay me for creating these ugly guys!

My first attempt to create a realistic caricature.

Popeye the Sailor

Editorial for GQ magazine.

Parents

Editorial for GQ magazine. This material was pretty sad, was hard to illustrate it. It’s about author’s parents death and his feelings about it. It’s about loss, childhood memories and solitude.

Editorial for Blazer magazine

The article was about how to go on two-days vacation with four kids and survive.

Making-of

It’s close to 900K image. Please wait until it’s loaded.

I guess I have to give a little explanation here. There is no refining step between “flat” step 10 and “3D-like” step 11, just because there weren’t any additional steps. I just painted all the lights and shadows over the flat color. Step 12 shows the step when I switched to Corel Painter to blend all rough brushstrokes. Step 13 is color correction ( adding more blacks in shadows ) and …the signing:)

Can’t you see I’m busy here?

Greeting card

I am not done with you yet!

Greeting card

Speeeeeed paaaaaaint

I know I usually don’t tend to post here unfinished works, but this sketch I liked so much that decided to share it with the world, which means you people. Besides, who says it’s not finished? I’ve signed here!

I did it!

I’ve made into Animation Mentor Showcase 2009! What can I say guys? It’s was one hell of a surprise to find myself among all these really talented and hard-working people. Comparing to their work my animation looks pretty humble but hey I am in, that’s  what matters. At least for me.

Congratulations, Denis!:)

Process

Character Design test

Bald Lady. Rejected by the client, by the way.

Character design test

Usually I tend to avoid tests for my clients because I think my abilities can be easily seen from my works, but this time I decided to do it  because here we are talking about feature animation project and this opportunity is so tempting that I just couldn’t resist.

The character suppose to be a nice, a little bit silly silly but still very charismatic little dictator.

Not too much happy with that, I would do it in a little bit different way if I was doing it now, but hey that’s why we learn for isn’t it? To make mistakes, see them, correct them and move on to new ones.

Can’t wait! I’ll post something!

This image supposed to be a greeting card. With some text included of course. I’ve done plenty of these guys recently and frankly speaking I am pretty happy with the result.

P.S. Boy, this stuff is great! I mean Windows Live Writer.

New Era begins!

It’s been a while since I updated this blog. For many reasons. One and most important of all is that I couldn’t find any desktop client which could make all this posting and editing process easy and quick. I hate doing it within a browser. But now everything is going to change, cause I found it. It’s called Windows Live Writer. Thank you Mr.Gates.

Shortly many new posts ( and my works of course ) will follow.

Stay tuned!
