Comments Off on NEW VIDEO: “3-of-A-Kind In Creature Design”

Cre8tiveMarks_University_BONUS_Video_v2

 

I’m VERY happy to say, I’ve just finished a new video that’s in addition to the “Art and Feel Of Making It Real” 12-part series, this one is on CREATURE DESIGN (and how to make 3 or more designs fit into a style or set for “World Building”)!  The video is about an hour long.

Below is the video’s description:

“Designing characters and/or creatures for any media is complicated, but understanding how to work within a family or group of images/designs that exist as a harmonious group is even harder.

This video focuses on how to create characters in a set that work in a “world building” scenario that works for film, gaming and television design.  These ideas and concepts will help you design in a group that shows control of idea and how to flesh out a series of designs instead of a single image.”

Comments Off on “Something Wicked This Way Comes…”

Here’s some recent rough development for a personal project I’ve been working on in between jobs.  With a heavy workload, the videos for Cre8tiveMarks University, teaching and mentoring two students…needless to say, it’s been hard to find time to work on personal artwork.  But when I do I cannot believe how much fun this project is!
