RIOT FEST LINEUP

So, I can finally post up the illustration and the lineup for this year's fest. I am really happy with the end result and I am VERY excited to have been a part of a Murder City Devils gig poster. Look for these all over Chicago:

Chicago RIOT FEST Poster

I was recently commissioned to illustrate this year's Chicago RIOT FEST posters. I will be working on the roughs this weekend for approval. I won't be able to post up anything yet since the bands have yet to be announced. Be sure to check back June 4th for the first wave and June 18th for the second.

Base Color Zombie

So I did a coat of acrylics tonight, just some of the greens. Working slow and keeping it simple.

Munny W.I.P

So I got around to giving the vinyl a coat of primer and doing a test on the actual model itself. Still debating on what to actually color with. I tried out some paint pens and prisma colors and got some mixed results. I used a penicl and sharpie to outline the key features. I really wish I could just use sharpies to get the end result, but there aren't enough colors to do that. I might end up breaking down and attemping to do it with brushes, but I am not looking forward to that. Here are a few images of the the process.

Demon Pigs Fly!

I spent some time recently working on the demon pigs key frames for When Pigs Fly. He has quickly become one of my favorite so far. By making the pigs mostly giant dopey looking heads with nubby legs it is allowing me to play around with facial expressions alone to express the animations. I plan to REALLY push the extremes used. Hope you like. As usual, any feedback would be appreciated since it is early in the development process of the game.

Munny Concepts

I picked up my first blank vinyl figure to paint sometime in the near future. I spent a raining evening indoors doing some doodles and recorded the process. I have included the final image and the video of their creation. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
