Artifacts for White Wolf

I got the go ahead this week from my Art Director at White Wolf to put up some small illos I did for him back in December.

This was an interesting project, because it took me back to my industrial design days when I rendered a lot of projects.. The project went surprisingly quickly, and I tried out a "different" techniques.. I usually like to do my BW work in watercolor and gauche, but this time I used markers( which was/is the instrument of choice in product rendering)

The markers came out surprisingly crisp and I took the BW renderings into photoshop and put color on them using a lot of adjustment layers.

I've posted the thumbnails as well. For the Hieroglyphics I reveal my cheat.. Create a textured BG and then paint on a new layer that is set to bevel and emboss.. Adjust the setting so that it creates a shadow and then a highlight. Then on another layer, color in the shapes using with the layer set to "multiply"..

Okay here's the art.

White Wolf: Immortal Sinners

Here are some paintings I did for the White Wolf Immortal Sinners Book. It just came out recently. I did 4 images in the book, and I have to say I particularly enjoyed doing them. I made a point to do them mostly non-digital.

I did a bit of color touch-ups to get them more desaturated( I used to using a lot of color, and the whole vampire motif calls for a feeling of lifelessness) I'll post scans of the originals, without any photoshop magic in the future.

I decided to take some excerpts about the characters and put them with the images. I really think much of the interest in the images come from comparison to the character's description.

T-shirts!!!

As many know I'm a part of Studio Revolver with Georges Jeanty, Dexter Vines, Jason Pearson, Tom Feister, John Christopher, Casey Edwards, Kevin Stokes, and Bernard Sheppard.( Check out the studio website here)

New SketchCards: Red Skull & Wonder Woman

Here are a couple of new ones.

Marvel Masterpiece !! Artist Proof.. Red HULK!!

Here's a Marvel masterpiece artist sketch proof I just got approved.. I started with a drawing on a Studio Revolver car( that I also finshed, as you see), and used that as a study for the final card.

BW Copic markers and then acrylic paints. I haven't used acrylics in a while( been sticking with watercolors lately) so it was like meeting an old friend.

I used to work exclusively with acrylics then jumped to oils (for the experience), and then watercolors(for their speed and easy transport), so I just haven't had a reason to do much with acrylics until now.

I'll be painting all of my artist proofs, and I have some cool ideas in mind already.

New Sketch cards

The members of Studio Revolver put together some sketch cards that we sell at convetions.. I've just been playing around with them, testing different techniques on the and what not.. you can se the results.

Not quite a quick paint like the others. But a semi quick paint.

I'm trying to do quick paints now. At least 2-3 a a week hopefully.
