Hey TADsters a friendly reminder to back up your files often to an external hard drive just in case;)

Have a good one!

Some recentish stuff! Unfortunately, the bulk of our work has been for a semi-secret project, so I can't post that stuff yet.

Front and Center

Some work from the semester so far, and some personal. Please hit me up at www.nateabell.com with comments or questions. TAD rocks.

Some recent TAD work

OK, here's some semester 2 stuff.

Of course, most of the group work we've been doing is not allowed to be shown because it could make money, so it's kind of NDA right now.



FIGURE PAINTING:

Jon Foster sculpture study, oil

I turned this figure study into an
illustration, as you can see.

Digital study, trying to get the blocky,
smudgy, painterly effect in photoshop

Mostly acrylic with some oil on top.
This is a bad version of the color because it was photographed
in the dark to avoid glare.

Yeah, I like adding imaginative elements to studies...

Anyway, here's a weapon design for predator:

Wish I could show more of the work we're doing in E2D.  Only a matter of time I guess.

Here's some orthos for entertainment design class.

Sketch and class work.

Some updates of class work and sketches :)

TAD = Awesomesauce.

Hey Guys and Gals,

I'm doing a series of posts comparing theartdepartment to other learning experiences I've had, and why nothing has compared so far.  It's a bit too long to post here so I'm just throwing it out there.


Also Foundations A has been a blast so far, I love seeing everyone work so hard and improving. 

Awesomesawce.  Period.

I wrote a post on talent and one on beliefs and would love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers,
Jussi
