Thou shalt heed the Siren's Call...!

I had the privilege of being a co-character lead with Mr. Matt Doble on the Siren characters in IA4!  They were only a small sequence in the film but were tonnes of fun to work on.  I hope they gave people some laughs.

Mr. Patrik Puhala approached me the other day about doing a drawing for his little Niece.. or was it Cousin.. anyway...  he wanted some of the artists here at work to do some sketches to give to her as a present.  So hey, I thought Id draw the Sirens.  Here were a couple I whipped up.  He chose the first one.  I hope she liked it.

                             

...And heres my next attempt at some digital painting....  Slowly but surely, I shall learn how the hell to do this!  As always, Tips n Tricks welcome.  These were done in Alias Sketchbook Pro.

 

A New Caricature... Mr. Patrik Puhala.

Well.. Now that the Ice Age 4 train is slowing into the station, I hope to find more time to play with my new Cintiq, and get around to posting more! Ive really been wanting to learn how to do some digital painting/coloring, so bear with me.. the first lot may be pretty rough. Any tips, tricks, advice, or critique is more than welcome! Be gentle though.. Im a crier.

My cubical neighbor at work is none other than the recently Annie Award nominated Patrik Puhala. Man oh man can that guy animate! I did a doodle of him during sweatbox dailies, and that turned into another one, and then Melvin Tan did his draw over version, and then that melded into a final one. Here they are.

One of the first editions...

... Mr. Melvin Tan's slightly aged up version :P ...

... By our Powers Combined we give you .... Patrik!!!

... and lastly, my first attempt at some Painting ... lets call it an ode to Mr. Pontillas' wicked style!

Well, lets hope with hours returning to normal, that this is the first of many new updates.. you know... for any of you that are actually seeing this :P
