Ortho Update

Didn't get as much time to work on this as I thought I would. I want to get the rest finished by today. Night All!!

Quick Update

Quite busy, so only spent 45 minutes on this today. Messed with the design a bit on James. Still not quite at a finished stage, but close, i suppose. I thought these lines might be too-too loose to start the orthos, but now I'm starting to think i can do cleanup AND the turn in one go. Need more curves on Sarah's chest plate. Bit too flat.

I was also hoping to have these fully rendered BEFORE jumping into the turn, but I see now that the lines are more important than the color to get the modelers off the ground, so we'll save that for later. There will be 5 human characters in total, so I might just do a full illustration showing all of them interacting with one another instead of rendering each character in an individual composition..

Sarah and James

A few early character designs for the FUBAR mod team. Started with some quick thumbnails to establish gesture before scanning and laying down loose strokes on top. Still not happy with his face, but we'll revisit that for the final render. Both characters sketched today.

Summer Break Sketchcapades!!

FINALLY!! Some time to focus on personal work. I have the next 3 weeks off from school and will be devoting nearly every minute of it to portfolio work. I just got hooked up with a mod group and should be posting the first round of characters by the end of the week. I'd also like to re-visit a few of my pieces from this past semester and bring them up to par with the rest of my work. On top of that the album commission that's been in the works for over a year now is finally shedding some light at the end of the tunnel, right as a new tee-shirt co. and photography studio logo project make their way into my free time. So hopefully if all goes well, I can get through everything mentioned and still have time leftover for 2 brand new illustrations before summer terms starts!!


In the meantime, here'a a new self portrait/DA i.d. I actually started the base for this in Painter a few months ago. Finished up finals today and decided to knock out the rest this afternoon. A few hours total. Video Time lapse can be seen here:

Some 1's and 5's

A few life studies from last night/last week. All gesture. And a page from the prelim. work for the penguin 'Spitfire' piece.

So what's this "blogger" thing all about...

I finally caved. My very first bloggity blogg. My name is Dylan Pierpont, but most people call me Dylan Pierpont. I'm an Illustration major at the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design looking to cut his teeth soon as a concept artist in the entertainment industry.

I plan to use this space to post frequent updates and explorations in this field, as well as build a network amongst all the talented individuals that have pushed me to work for my dreams and inspire me to create that reality.

Enjoy!
