These are some some sketches from my sketchbooks, just messin around. I am thankful this year to have an able body and mind, couldn't ask for much more. Happy thanksgiving everyone, hope you're all doing well! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween!

2011-10-22T14:35:00.000-07:00

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I always try to fool around with a drawing or two at the end of October, because i love the subject matter involved. This piece started with the worst sketch you ever saw in your life. I tried to play with the shapes of things to find a good balance, and just went for it. I had a lot of fun making this piece. If i work up the courage, perhaps i'll post the prelims later. Hope all is well in candyland! See you at the dentist ;)

Escapades

2011-09-16T08:18:00.000-07:00

People are interesting. I've been finding it fun to try to capture the people i see at the bus station and on the bus. I have a love/hate relationship with the public transit system, it takes a lot of time to get anywhere on the bus. However in hindsight, my escapades riding to and fro is time well spent. I recently filled a sketchbook, and thought i would share a few entries. I hope everyone is well out there. Carpe Diem!

Sly Cooper 4: Thieves in Time

2011-07-14T21:40:00.000-07:00

Hey! I have been working at Sanzaru on Sly Cooper: Thieves in time for a while now, and finally get to show some of what i have been up to! The trailer was released at E3 along with a little bit of gameplay teaser. This is some of the work i put in toward the trailer, some signage, and the matte. My lead and good friend Paul Sullivan set the style for the game, and my buddy James Hamilton is always willing to help me when my eyes get tired, as well as putting out some impressive work for the IGC's on the project. Thanks you guys! Big ups to all the people that worked on the trailer, and to my team at Sanzaru! This stuff doesn't even scratch the surface of all the concept that has been put into this game, so there's definitely more to come in the future! Hope you all like!

Cheers!

Figure Drawing

I was able to get out to some figure drawing sessions a few weeks back. I wasn't quite as rusty as i believed myself to be. Thanks Josh for having me out, wish you all could have been there.

I broke the build. My UI maps are interfering with the AI specular geometry and the UV rays are burning my eyebawls

Sketches

2010-11-15T15:08:00.000-08:00

Hello Intrawebs people. In lieu of all the incredible art i've seen in the past week, I decided to make my own feeble attempt at a blog post. Some of this stuff is for friends, Some is for practice. Let me know what you think!

Here's a sketch i did recently on a flight home. had to scribble on the side to keep my pencil sharp. Turns out it looks kinda like foliage! Hope you guys like!

Hey.

2010-05-07T19:24:00.000-07:00

Sorry. I have been off the radar for quite some time, getting used to a new place and have been learning a ton from the amazing artists that surround me at my new job. I have been sketching a little, so here is one of them, hope to not leave the blog hanging for so long in the future...

I've been sketching at night while listening to a live broadcast of Bobby Chiu. He has some real positive things to say which is nice, and its like having another artist around instead of drawing by my lonesome at night. check it out! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/bobby-chiu-broadcasting

NEW Drawlings

2009-08-22T10:04:00.000-07:00

Here are some drawings i came up with on the heir of the Arthur stories. Just doing my best to come up with fun characters...

2009-08-12T07:11:00.000-07:00

trying...

2009-08-08T19:32:00.000-07:00

So, its been a while since anyone's posted anything here, so I figured I'd post some sketches. Just trying to get the ball rolling on some new work, my muse stepped out for a bit. Hope you guys like... Post a link! I need the exposure! Hope everyone is well.

TANKWAR

2009-06-26T17:43:00.001-07:00

Here is the final of The Tankwar piece. I decided it had to be finished at this point because it was taking too long to finish, and starting to block my creative process. Fairly happy with the turnout. Thanks for looking.

~Isaac

2009-05-31T08:05:00.000-07:00

Working on my environment skills. I came up with this along the way... Its not finished, but i wanted to share in case anyone had suggestions.

Weapons

2009-05-15T10:48:00.001-07:00

The gun was supposed to gather an electric charge. So I added a chamber where brushes would spin and create it. The patterns are for Mercy's suit which had heat resistant qualities. When the sword gathered power it would transform, and take on almost magic properties.

Characters

2009-05-15T10:45:00.000-07:00

These were the main characters in the game, Mercy, and Damon Winters.

Some Turnarounds

2009-05-15T10:40:00.000-07:00

Looking back, the bullets are a little overkill, and possibly a little 80's.... The sentry robot was supposed to shoot napalm. I liked the original sketch for the sentry, not very polished but had an aesthetic that i liked.

Some character concepts from MAXUM GAMES

2009-05-15T10:37:00.000-07:00

These are some concepts I came up for angels for a pitch that Maxum Games was coming up with.

Environments from MAXUM GAMES

2009-05-15T10:32:00.000-07:00

These are some of the environments i did while at maxum games in 2007

Faces

2009-05-14T21:02:00.000-07:00

Just foolin around with shapes, makin some faces.

Aqua Dementia

2009-04-14T18:15:00.000-07:00

This is a piece I did for a friend, started as a tattoo idea, and rolled with it. started with a teeny sketch, like 1x1" blown up and painted in photoshop. I had a lot of fun with this one.

Some sketches.

Word. Got things goin. Felt like doin some western gunslinger stuff. Partially Inspired by Stephen King's novel, The Gunslinger from the Dark Tower series. (no not the comic book version)
