New work and website!

I've made a website with some new-ish work on it,  Check it out! www.artofmitch.com 

Here are some crops of some new work you'll find on the site:

Sketches, experiments, etc..

Here are some recent sketches I've been doing after work to just try something different and do some mindless painting. I've posted them around on various places, but I felt like I should consolidate them all here.  Some finished work will be posted soon hopefully!

New stuff

some recent-ish stuff from various projects. Some were canned and some weren't used.

sketch+study

and yet another sketch of a dude with a horse! done  a few weeks ago.  plus a study from a photograph. Been pretty busy with work but I plan on having a big update soon. 

scifi

some sketchin in the afternoon. I don't do enough personal sci fi stuff, that will change soon. perspective might be  a bit wonky since i was kind of eye balling it the whole way.

Sketches and study

Some finished sketches i've been having fun with. Been really inspired by the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, and the Game of Thrones show.  Also a recent study from a photo.

Old Work

Here are a few pieces from a project I worked on that later got canceled. These were done anywhere from 2-3 years ago. these are a few that I didn't absolutely hate.

Japan Tsunami Relief

The good people at cfsl.net are organizing a japan tsunami relief effort http://cfsl.net/tsunami/ , by having artists submit artwork for either the originals to be sold, make a book publication or organize exhibitions, all profits will be donated to Give2Asia.  I found this through sparths blog, and wanted to add my own modest contribution. Being part Japanese myself, I really want to do anything I can to help. Please help donate to the RedCross or any other tsunami relief effort. Every bit helps.

Samurai

Another quick one, trying out different techniques and brushes. was inspired after watching Maciej Kuciara's video. the guy is good! I'm trying to better understand color, value and temperature, and try not to get too tight with the details. After doing tight detailed work all day, it's nice to keep it looser at home.  Its a constant battle but I feel I learn something new each time. Need to do more studies!

the night shift

I neglect this blog too much, anyway, a lot has happened since my last post. I moved to Atlanta to work for CCP North America and loving it. I bought an intuos 4 last night, to retire my intuos3. Did some personal painting to break it in. I will be posting more.

Plus here's a lunch sketch, trying to get back into it as a daily thing:

been awhile.

i'm a terrible blogger.

some speeds:

Cold and Warm

It's been damn cold here in Florida lately. So i did this cold painting, keeping with the same character i painted in my last one. Also, even though it's not really concept art,  My fiancee Aimee and I are getting married sometime this year, so I did a paintover of what the space could possibly look like from pictures she had sent me of the venue. (We ended up choosing a different venue) Cheers!

  

Happy forest

new speedpaint, done last night. Trying to get a more painterly feel to my work. im working on it!

And so it begins..

Hello, first post! I will be posting my sketches and doodles up in here, and maybe a finished piece or two.  please no laughing.

some sketches that have been collecting dust on my hard drive.
