Got a new sketch book the other day, it is much more ornate than my usual sketch books. It is field book (smaller) and has Van Gogh motifs on the outside of it, thus Im calling it the VG sketchbook. It was my intention to use this blog as a running sketch book, so here you go. The first page(s) of the sketchbook.
A sketch that I planned to paint, but never got around to. I find myself with less and less time to do traditional painting anymore. Perhaps I should digitally paint this one instead, but I guess time will tell what becomes of this sketch - if anything does.
Here is a head I created in Maya for beginning students to use within Zbrush on the first day of class. It was given to them in case they have never had any 3d experience and could take the base head divide it to make head sculptures of their own. I too plan on creating some quick 3d sculptures from this head, so here is before then.
Been working on my Skeletor sculpture lately in Zbrush. I finally figured out how to correct the Uv's after going to Zrush! This will hopefully be the last work in progress of this particular piece. Still have quite a few items to sculpt and texture, but here you go. Hopefully the next post on this guy will be the final.
Some practice on hand to hand weapons. Need to start working on more variety of objects and things other than just figures. I still need to work on figures, but cannot ignore all the other goodies.
Another sketch done for the Norse mythos characters. I spent some more time on the shading on this one as I tend to get carried away at times. It looks good so far, I like the design and cannot see changing it much other than costume redesigns.
Another first attempt at another norse god. This one is of Hrodr, the blind god who killed his brother Baldur and began Ragnarok. Most of these designs I think I will will be doing multiple times to hopefully achieve better results. 
Working on some norse mythos concepts. This one is the first attempt at the dwarven smith, Sindri. I have decided to move away from the generic fantasy dwarf and make them creatures of stone and fire, something that crawled forth from the forge themselves. In time I plan on doing more fleshed out concept attempts of this guy. 
Running to something or away from something. Either way, he is running with purpose! Might paint this digitally and see were it takes me. For now, we will just say he is running to catch the bus.
The last of the glass Christmas special posts. I did a few more including a snowflake for a xmas tree ornament, but I do not want to fill the blog with "What I gave for xmas" posts. The crafting season is over, back to drawing!
Another Christmas gift piece in sandblasted glass. Everything in these glass pieces is custom made, with the glass inserted into a wood frame with a wood backing. Personal made things always make nice gifts, and the recipients were all happy with their glass stuff. Nothing been broken yet.
I know its been a while. The holidays made me lazy, but now I must get back to work! Here is something I did in glass with sandblasting for a Christmas gift. The glass stuff does not photograph very well, but it came out very nice.
