Red Engine Studios Gallery Show Entry

Hey everyone,

It's been a while! As usual I have been busy but I wanted to share what I have been working on for the past several weeks. This is for a friends gallery show, where the theme was a red train of some sort. Anyway hope you like it!

Thor Video Game Concept Art

Hey guys,
It's been a while. I have been busy as usual. Here is some work I can now release that was done well over a year ago for the Thor game recently released. Too bad the game didn't do better in the reviews :(

PS I'm going to post ALL of my Thor work on my regular site soon, http://www.mellowsmoothe.com/ !!!

Troll Demo

I made a demo that I posted on YouTube for the first time. I wanted to go through the demo creation process and understand technically how it needed to work. I plan on doing more demos soon (some with voice overs and verbal instruction) so please comment. Thanks and enjoy!

Harpy/Siren Class Demo

This initially was suppose to be a siren but it took on more harpy qualities. Anyway hope you like it!

More Oil Painting Practice

Here is another painting I just did based off of a photo. A model would have been great but I will have to wait until I go to a class for that. Just trying to extend my knowledge of color and light using pigment. Hope you like it!

Oil Painting Practice

Hey guys,

Sorry it's been so long. I have been trying to strengthen my fundamentals so I have been reading and watching DVD's on oil painting and color. This is my first finished oil painting piece ever (and I'm not counting the oil "sketches" on my site) and its been a great learning experience. Included as well is the underpainting, or "drawing". I am working on more as we speak. I hope you like it and if you don't, constructive crits are welcome! Thanks.

Finished Alien Sculpture

Hey guys,

Here is the final painted alien sculpture. It was a lot of fun to do and my first final sculpture. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Alien Sculpture

Hey guys,

Since I have been away for a while from my blog I thought I would post another set of images soon after my last post. I made this sculpture in Jordu Schell's Advanced Maquette Class. It's some random aquatic Alien, with a lot of inspiration from sharks. It still needs to be painted, and even now as I post I see things that could have been fine tuned. If you look close you can see some discoloration in the skin as well, due to trying to mix Sculpey to match my previous batch. Already baked, oh well. Anyway let me know your thoughts.

Hell Beast Class Demo

Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while. I have been settling in at my new home, SCEA in Santa Monica. It's been a great pleasure to start working there and work with such a talented team.

Here is what started out as demo for one of my past Gnomon classes. I decided to put a little more fine tuning into it afterwards and here is the result.

PS Good luck to all of my great students at Gnomon. Keep up the hard work!
