Return of the Cycle-Bot

This is an image I created a while ago (see first post) but I've updated it and made it a more complete piece now. I continued the scratch treatment I learned in the last image to give it some texture. Hope you dig it.

El Santo

This is another gallery piece I've created for Gallery Nucleus. They have an annual show where all of the pieces are 5 x 7 and sell for around $100...and all of the money goes to a charity. This year it's for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The theme was open...so I was able to do anything I wanted. This is what I came up with...I decided to do a little lucha libre guy...named El Santo. Since it's a digital piece, I added lots of layers and did a treatment to it to make it look better than just a flat color piece. Hope you like it.

Gallery Nucleus Show

I'm going to be in a gallery show at Gallery Nucleus in LA. I'm pretty excited about it...I haven't really been in a show like this before, so it's pretty cool to me. Anyway...here's the latest version of the piece. The theme of the show is Saturday morning cartoons...so I did a re-vamping of Josie and the Pussycats, added a new character in there, and put my own twist on it all. The opening night of the show is Saturday, February 10th...and the gallery is located here: 30 West Main Street Alhambra, CA 91801 Anyway...hope to see you there.

Tha Ladies, Tha Ladies

What's a post on the internet without pics of ladies? Here are a few designs I did over the last year or so.

Enjoy.

Little Man

Just a little guy.

Game Characters

I work in the games industry. I've been animating and designing characters for video games for over 13 years. Although I mostly work in 3D now...for a time I did a lot of 2D animation and designing. These two designs weren't for any game actually...but after designing them I realized that they easily could have been.

Medusa

This was a design I did a while ago. The idea popped in my head to do a take on an old mythological creature...this was the first one I did.

Modern Man

Here's an image I made for my avatar...just needed to post it here first.
It also was part of a t-shirt comp I did...I stripped out the other parts and just left the retro looking guy here.

1st pic on the Blog

Just wanted to have something to show here...I'll be adding more as the days go by. It's called CycleBot...for obvious reasons. I did it originally as a design for a t-shirt. I still have thoughts of starting a t-shirt line at some point but I've put those aside for the time being to focus just on creating designs. If they go in a book or on a shirt...or just on this blog, at least I'm still creating and moving forward.

Attack of the Blogs!!!!

I've joined the maddening herd of geeks running for the blogs.
I will soon dismantle my website that I've had for years:
www.bluelineanimation.com
I was plenty happy with it...but I was ulimately too lazy of late to keep it properly updated. So here's the new site...a free blog, with default template designs. Technology rocks for the sometimes lazy!! Now I can focus back on doing more character designs, making a book, of short film perhaps. Who knows...but it's here...and now so are you.

Thanks,

Brent
