A job!

So that test I did for that company did paid off. I got hired! I start Monday. :D I'll be working part-time on an XBOX Live Arcade title at Exato Game Studios.

I'm really excited to start! It's great to finally be able to get some job experience, and get myself some exercise. lol

I'll have lots of off-time so I'll continue working on my Chaos Imp. Hopefully I can get him done soon... I'm so close. O_o

Chaos Imp WIP & Misc. Paintings

Still working on-and-off on several projects at once.



Here's my current progress on my Chaos Imp texture. I really like where it's going, but I feel like I still have a long way to go. I think it'll pay off in the end. :)



An environment painting I did for a company.



A character I'm designing for a contest over on DeviantART. It's merely a way for me to keep my creative juices flowing. I was provided with three words and an image for inspiration. The words were "swift", "gritty", and "steely". The image was some avocados. ;) I'll be trying to flesh him out some more, because he's really grown on me.

Digital paintings from the end of 2009

I'm still hard at work on my portfolio -- still working on the imp's texture, which is coming along.

As for 2D, here are some other pieces I've been working on!



Two characters of mine, Cxuca (pronounced "shuu-kah") and Vanessa. Cxuca is an alien from another solar system, and Vanessa has been shunted into this world. It's a story I crave the time to develop and turn into a graphic novel.



This is a one-hour doodle I did in Photoshop last month. He's my personal creation I just call "Claw Beast" that I don't draw nearly enough...



An image I did for an LJ community I'm in, CritterxChange. This guy is someone else's design, but I took some major liberties with it. It's a great excuse to continue toying around with extra features in Photoshop! :)

Chaos Imp Re-texture

I'm currently taking a brief break from my Mudbox project to re-texture this model I did last year. Here's a current work-in-progress shot. :)

Orc Barracks Render and fanart

Wow, I have so much to get done... But luckily, I did get one project finished! The Orc Barracks from Warcraft II:



I'm a huge fan of that old game :) I always enjoyed playing the orcs best, and my favorite building in the whole game was this building, the barracks. It was a load of fun to do!

And speaking of games I'm a huge fan of, I also did this piece of art in tribute to an old Amiga classic "Shadow of the Beast".



Lastly, I did this last piece as a Christmas present for someone who enjoys the movie "Flight of Dragons" as much as I do. :D



All three of these games/movies had a huge influence on my art and interests as a child. :)

The She-Demon

Another speed painting. Took about 2.5 hours.

In-progress Mudboxing

I'm hard at work. Have the basic structures blocked in now. :D

Some speed paintings from this week:





Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!
