Pencil work turned awesome

So.. it dawned on me that i have shifted to an, almost entirely digital medium of art work, well sometimes it seems that way, art show evidence at Echo Echo not withstanding, but i digress.....

I have started a new set of projects, pencil drawings to finish digital paintings, and thus far I am seriously "stoked" on them.

This is the first in a hopeful series, entitled "Fear the Reaper", still a work in progress, but really the only part that i am still touching up is the "Roman" soldiers in the front line.

Enjoy!

Echo Echo Art Show

February was a busy month for art, as I was spending most of my time working on preparing for the art show at the Echo Echo gallery. Once again thanks go out to Chris and the others at Echo Echo for letting me put on my show!  =D

These are most of the work that was done for the show, the others having been sold and therefore will not appear here! Which in itself is not a bad thing, but i means i can't share the art with the rest of you.

Hope you enjoy, these are all done with bleach on back paper, and some slight sharpie marker touch up!

These are for sale! If you are interested please email me at reekodyer@gmail.com

New Wacom Paintings

Finally took the leap and upgraded my drivers on the Wacom tablet that April lets me use, and I am loving the pen pressure function for opacity and size. This is a daily sketch piece from CGsociety that i am pretty happy with, and the first real successful piece i have done with the new drivers. Took about 55 minutes.

Digital Painting Fun

Took some time to work on my digital painting skills today and was happy with the result. I approached this painting with a more traditional technique I have seen used in oil figure painting. That and my other goal was to complete a finalized piece within one session, which I feel was successful.

Did this based on a reference of Brody Dalle, formally of the Distillers.

Tank Repair Shop Update

My Latest UDK project is coming along quite nicely, and I have included some more screenshots.
Still working on importing all of the meshes, and need to refine some of the textures, but as stated, I am very happy with how it looks so far!

Tank Repair Shop

Couple of screenshots from my latest Unreal project.

It is a Tank Repair Shop based off an acrylic concept painting I did.
I modeled all of the meshes and am just importing them into unreal as ascii files.
The lighting is temporary, as I am going to setup more stylized lighting over the tank.

Enjoy!

Concept Sketches

Have been working over in the Daily Sketch forums at CGsociety, and recently there has been a run on of "Flash Gordon" themed work. Had a blast with these and wanted to share them. They are concepts for Princess Aura, Ming the Merciless, and Prince Barin, all done in Photoshop with a Wacom.

Enjoy!

A Couple of New DSF (Daily Sketch Forum) Pieces

Went to sleep super early last night, and so when I woke up at 530 AM i figured i would be productive.
Both of these peices were done in photoshop in about 30 minutes.

Killer Blues

Flash in the Night

Have a whole new set of bleach paintings i am working on, come back soon!!

Another New Low Poly Piece

Just finished a set of crates that are low poly using only one diffuse texture sheet that is 512 x 512, pretty happy with this project, as it only took me a total of 2 hours or so in total creation time.

New 3D Piece/web page!

I was looking over my portfolio and i realized that if i want to get a position as a 3D artist, i might need to put a couple more mesh pieces on my website. So i took a couple hours this afternoon and knocked out a low poly oil drum!
