Thaaat's right...

For the first time, I'll be hosting an online class on character design. I've been teaching at the Workshop Academy (Ran by Josh Kao of 343 Industries here in Seattle) on a local level, and it was been a rewarding and fun experience teaching what I know about character storytelling and drawing for the past two years. Now I'm giving it a go with an online version of the same class, starting at the end of September! Here are some details on what I'll be covering:

*10 week class*

Class: A breakdown of how to create compelling characters with intentional design. We will discuss the tools of telling stories with characters, as well as tips, tricks and techniques for creating more engaging character art.

Prerequisite: We recommend Figure Drawing, Intro to Digital Painting

Topics covered:

  • Visual Storytelling and the principles of shape design

  • Using color, mark making and style with intent

  • generating ideas for characters, costumes and creatures

  • Applying gesture and expression

  • Presentation and making orthographs for studio use

  • General photoshop drawing and workflow techniques

Material List: Computer with photoshop, tablet/cintiq, high speed internet connection, Zoom Meeting App

Time/Day: Tuesday 7-10pm PST

First Class: 9/24 Last Class: 12/03

Holiday: 11/26 (Thanksgiving week)

Class Location: Online Zoom Meeting. Videos are accessible on Zoom after each class.

PRINTS ARE OPEN

1 min read
Thaaat's right! I finally did it. I've had requests for prints, and I finally opened a store so people can buy them. I'm starting promo on DeviantArt first, because I still feel like this is where my original peeps are at.
At the moment I have 3 prints available, check out my store on INPRNT! If you have any requests (and they aren't copyrighted by another company) I will try to get them up soon. Thank you for supporting my work all these years, I appreciate it.

hey Folks,

Last time I wrote here I was working on Spyro: Reignited trilogy, well now it's out and getting great reviews! It was a really amazing project to work on and the talented team I got to work with brought their A game. I'll upload some of the images here, but be sure to check out more on my instagram and tumblr pages:

Happy Holidaysss

Guys, I've been bussssssy.

I'm very happy that I've been busy, and that so far working indie has been functional. I think I can keep doing it! I'm gonna try doing it for the rest of the year, but I might eat my words if some crazy opportunity pops up outta no where. Ya right. I'm very excited to show off the things I've been working on, but I probably won't be for a while. I can't even reveal what the projects I've been on.

But, completely unrelated, have you seen the new Spyro Reignited trailer?:D:D:D;);)



HOWEVER, I am a little sad that I have so little time for my own work, and to keep in touch with all the social media that I plug myself on. of all the places I publish, DeviantArt still feels like my home away from home even if it feels like I'm spending more attention to my Instagram and Tumblr. This is the place where I actually talk with my watchers, and that kind of support and feedback is invaluable to me.

Part of my indie artist initiative is to open a store, FINALLY. I don't think i will do it through DA because I'm not happy with the print quality, but it may be the easiest option. If you have print suggestions, throw them at me! So now I would like to ask, and I'm actually serious this time-- What pieces of my art would you like to see as a print on your wall? This the hardest thing I've struggled with, is A) making artwork that is worthy to hang on a wall and B) not understanding my fanbase as far as what they want. So please-- Feedback! Maybe a poll later...
