Girlie warm up...

Siggraph demo

Thanks to WACOM and CTN, I got to Demo at SIGGRAPH 2013.  Many talented artists got to show their stuff, I hope you got to check out  Armand Serrano, Jason Scheier,
  Brian Kesinger, Craig Elliott, Erik Martin and Armand Baltazar

Warm up with shapes

I did 2 smaller "ideas".  1 approach to how I warm up in the morning and then another approach towards design.  It was only an hour so I couldn't finish the piece but here's where I took it when I got home.
 

digital drawing then painting

The Spirit Warrior

Another painting for Dungeon Defenders 2

Art Director- Rusty Drake

Character Designer- Danny Araya 

Basically this is what I get from the company with some art direction and then it becomes the painting you see above.

Danny Araya Designs

Creatured

Florian Satzinger sent out an amazing link to some great photography of animals.  Just great reference and inspiration to be had by Andrew Zuckerman
