Sea Creature done in Open Canvas 5.5 RC4

Testing out the new version of Open Canvas...pretty cool software for a great price.

K'naan

Was pretty into K'naan a couple years back when he came out with his big single  When I Get Older.

I Did this piece back then when I decided to stop bootlegging software and was using GIMP because I couldn't afford Photoshop at the time.

I found out that GIMP does some stuff pretty well and offers a pretty good amount of control over key mapping some of the more advanced brush features like rotation and aspect ratio which I thought was pretty cool.  Also, it can do image hose brushes and animated brushes which Photoshop can't do.

My time with GIMP was short lived though because shortly after I began beta testing TVPaint for linux which completely blew my mind and I now use it more than Photoshop for painting, drawing and animating.  But I'll discuss TVPaint more in depth another day.

Take care,

Gavin

MUDPIT!

These are the final approved concepts for the Teletoon show Mudpit.  I think I mentioned it a couple posts back, but I did these a couple of years ago when I was with Guru.

The concepts were coloured by my friend and colleague Jasper Ng.

Take care everyone.

Chris Bosh

Some CB4 sketches from back in the day.  From his first couple of years in the NBA with the Raptors.

Rock Zombie!

Before I forget to post this, I know I said I'd post a couple days ago.  But somehow I got sidetracked, anyways here it is.  There was one other concept that I really liked and would have liked to colour.  That was the guy to the far right.

Take care,

Gavin

Mudpit - Rock Zombies

I did this sketch when I was working on the Mudpit television show a couple years ago.  I had to design a 'Rock Zombie'  These are the concepts I put forward.  I'll post the finished concept that was chosen tomorrow.  Which one would you have picked?

Take care,

Gavin

Bball!

Azania art

Some more art.  It's all been posted elsewhere already, but I just thought I'd put them up here too.

Hope you enjoy.

Digital Sketchbook Dump

A few sketches I did in TVPaint a while back when I first got my Asus slate computer.  Mostly just random doodles in in TVPaint while I was riding the subway, plus a few other images either done at home again using TVPaint and one done in Photoshop (I still use that program sometimes!).

I'm going to make more of an effort to start show more work that I do outside of character design, like some 3d stuff and environment work that I've been practicing for the last little while.

More Azania Sketches

Some sketches of a potential attack sequence from Azania.  This is the main character Maas.  The final design will probably change though.

Take care,

Gavin

Azania warmup sketches

Some warmup sketches for Azania.

Praise God!  I will begin posting Azania work soon.  I pray that it will uplift and inspire a generation of young people who have been sadly led astray by mainstream media.

God bless,

Gavin

Stay tuned!

Feelin' Blue

Feeling pretty down about all the shootings that have been taking place recently.  I still believe guns only serve one purpose and that is to kill.  I don't know how their use can ever be justified.

God bless all the families affected by the sensless violence.
