scAtterBrain: Perseus and Medusa - first stages
http://jmpetersen.blogspot.com/2013/06/perseus-and-medusa-first-stages.html
It's fun to draw. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Perseus and Medusa - first stages. I remember watching Clash of the Titans as a kid, and the scene in which Perseus fights Medusa, featuring brilliant stop motion animation by special effects legend Ray Harryhausen, scared the piss out of me. But I've always been fascinated by these characters, particularly Medusa, turned into a hideous monster for the crime of being a rape victim. Oh, you silly Greeks. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

scAtterBrain: February 2013

So in our illustration of streaming technology we're using some vector art of a hose filling a bucket drained by a spigot as a metaphor for the idea of a buffer. The spigot is actually from a very old project. I know the perspective doesn't exactly match, but I needed to wrap these graphics up and get to tying everything together. Tuesday, February 12, 2013.

scAtterBrain: Zombie Fatigue
http://jmpetersen.blogspot.com/2013/10/zombie-fatigue.html
It's fun to draw. Thursday, October 24, 2013. 8221; to my empty apartment. I almost didn’t make it through the entire film. I didn’t care about any of these characters, least of all the protagonist (fabulous scarf, by the way). I didn't care if he made it back to his family, or if his family even survived. Perhaps one day they’ll do justice to the book and call do-over, making it into a miniseries (the scope is just too vast for even a 3-hour movie), but for now I think I’m just over zombies.

scAtterBrain: October 2012

It's fun to draw. Thursday, October 18, 2012. Holy crap, was August 28 my last update? Jesus Christ, I need to get better at this. I've been drawing and making stuff, but I've been horrible at updating this. Anyway, here are some more isometric vector icons I made today, for a project. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

scAtterBrain: March 2013

It's fun to draw. Monday, March 18, 2013. Landscape Sketch: The Road. The weather is still cold and lousy, so I don't want to sit outside and sketch. This is a two-hour landscape/value study using a screenshot from the post-apocalyptic movie The Road as a reference. I'm a big fan of John Hillcoat's style involving raw, gritty environments and characters. This movie contains a lot of scenes of industrial decay and abandonment that stay with you for a while afterwards. Thursday, March 7, 2013.

scAtterBrain: Stop, Drop, and Draw.
http://jmpetersen.blogspot.com/2013/09/stop-drop-and-draw.html
It's fun to draw. Monday, September 30, 2013. Stop, Drop, and Draw. I'm interested in making concept art, so what I've been doing for many years was take photos of stuff like this to save for later reference. However, what invariably happens is I take my camera home, copy files to my assets folder, and there they sit, almost never to be looked at again. This day I decided to try something different.
