From now on my final artwork will be displayed on my Studio Kwibus portfolio website. All the progressional artwork will move to Studio Kwibus' Side Show blog. This blog: 'Kwibusiness' will maintain its purpose exclusively for articles I'll be writing in the near future.

Dark Side of the Moon

2010-11-16T22:39:00.003+01:00

Back in the game! This image was done for CGHUB's Drawing Jam #42 "Dark Side of the Moon." I took a sketch from my Moleskine and worked it up a bit in Photoshop. I love my new sketchbook, it finally gives me the feeling I'm able to draw! Another good thing is we're friends now, because it doesn't have the tendency to fall apart like all my previous partially filled sketchbooks.

Joy! :]

I'm still enjoying my summer break, while cooking up new ideas to work on when the rainy days come. In the meanwhile my work has been published in this month's Advanced Photoshop (Dutch version). First time being published in a magazine, available in shops around the country, I'm so excited!!! :)

Back in '96 I used to draw a lot of hip-hop related art, because hip-hop was plain raw back then! I ran with my backpack at night, tagged on everything with markers and spray-cans while enjoying music by Redman, Xzibit, Wu-Tang Clan, Tha Alkaholiks, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Artifacts, The Pharcyde and many more...

Oh man, good times...I can only reminisce...

Speed Session 001: Burger King 4040

2010-05-23T16:35:00.007+02:00

Survived an artists-block, had a period full of crap-artwork, restarted figure-drawing and I'm still crap at it but I shall improve! I took time off, took two steps backward and one step forward, put pencil sketching back into my workflow, so I can become best friends with art again! ^_^

More to come!

DSTAR - Triptych

2009-09-29T14:16:00.005+02:00

Original character designed for DSTAR Chronicle.

I recently finished studying color theory and decided to start this one, from scratch, with a color sketch. It took a lot longer to complete than starting with a value sketch. This time I pushed my colors, contrast, strokes, material indication and fake flats way harder.

Hope you enjoy!

DWIV got extended for a week so I procrastinated for a week. Now I have to push myself and work hard without compromise to make the deadline. Next up is the beauty shot and the model sheet, so exciting, so much fun!

Iterated Pre-Concept Sketches

2009-04-09T16:47:00.007+02:00

Design iterations after I received constructive critisism from friends and fellow designers/artists on CGHUB. I was wandering off with the design by being too creative but managed too bring it back to the feel my thumbnails conveyed.

Cheers,

Garry

Pre-Concept Sketches

2009-04-06T13:18:00.005+02:00

Dominance War IV Idea-sketches

2009-03-22T21:27:00.008+01:00

I've chosen to create a Abomination in the Demon race for Dominance War IV. An Abomination has to embody darkness, death and a serious amount of hate!

From here on I'll choose one of the three idea-sketches and start working on a concept. See a fave?

Cheerio!

Dstar goodbye portrait

2009-03-22T12:50:00.010+01:00

Portrait of Dstar (codename), main character in my personal project. With the style-development nearly completed the character doesn't meet my current expectations and only serves as a placeholder. I'll keep the essence including the background info of Dstar and do a complete redesign. With everything I discovered during this process I'm able to make a more convincing character that'll be better aligned with the background info.

Cheers,

Garry

Entry for Expose 7 which was due March 2nd.

I'm happy with the overall feel and especially the things I learnt while painting this image. I'll keep entering competitions to push myself and finish cool stuff. Next time I'll choose a more simplistic subject matter and try to get results even quicker than I did during this image. I like to think that I'll improve as long as I keep painting!

Now back to studying color theory!

Cheers!

2009-02-20T12:35:00.003+01:00

I gave this value drawing more time for iteration and tried to flatten and simplify area's more than I'm used to. Describing shapes with shadows instead of highlights was quite the challenge and kept brushstrokes to a reasonable amount.

Grrr!

Color, color, color noodles.

2009-02-18T16:09:00.006+01:00

With every drawing I become more comfortable with values. To step my game up, it's time to study Color Theory thoroughly and noodle with it at the same time.
