Art - New Logo

For the Anime Rename File Utility, I decided it would be nice to make a little piece of art for the about window. Nothing too fancy. But, I wanted something related to the use of the application. I decided to learn a little more about Photoshop as a result and got a little more familiar with the pen tool.

Here is my attempt at a logo:



I think it turned out decent. Much better job than I have done in the past. I think I am getting a bit better at using the tool. I don't know if I like the text so much but perhaps this is just a first draft. Later revisions may be popping up. I may also decide to go with this art style in the future for a game idea that I am starting to brew in my brain. We shall see :)

Some Random Stuff

I figured I should post some of the stuff that has been kicking around my hard drive for the past couple of months. Just a few things I have worked on...


This is an image that I created in Maya 8.5, it was going to be a robot character for a game I was designing in XNA but I dropped this project. He is kinda cool looking though. Maybe Ill use the concept in the future.








The Dragon here is an experiment in shading and cell painting in Photoshop. The dragon outline is from a book called Fantasy Clip Art from Andrews McMeel Publishing. The image was drawn by the books author Kevin Crossley. I did the coloring and shading following some of the techniques described in the book. Its not bad for a first attempt. This was done probably 8 months ago. I have gotten a bit better with Photoshop since and I think I would do better if i gave it another crack. I do however like how I did the shading on this image. It gives it more of a hand shaded effect.

Thats all I have found sitting around worth posting at the moment. I know there is more stuff sitting around here that I would want to post up here. Perhaps there will be a "Some Random Stuff 2" post in the near future.
