medusa

Really nice take on a subject that is hard to make unique.

The forest canopy.

The Underworld.

warrior sequence

Jake has some very basic ideas about an Island warrior god. He'll select the most promising and develop it over the next few days, as you will see below...

Simple color and lighting added, with unformed ideas about rendering and texture. Lot's to do to make this a usable work but the way forward becomes clearer.

The finished character.

Joyce Ng

Joyce makes these wonderful paintings that are unique to her alone. Here's tweedledee and tweedledum, from Alice in Wonderland, as two huge pigeons.

Queen of Hearts with Alice and friends.

the white rabbit

I really can't ever get enough of Joyce's work: it's quirky and odd and extremely charming. Charm isn't always as easy as it looks! Another from "Alice", this time with an un-rabbity rabbit.

Cassandra Mattes

Here's a really nice rough for a landscape from Cassandra's portfolio. A few character studies follow.

Here are some really appealing ideas for faeries based on orchid designs. These are simple but they also offer a multitude of possibilities, something we're looking for in early concept drawings.

Pixies -- another charming and interesting concept from Cassandra.

Ren Cuaderes started with a small, rough sketch of a character for a Game project. His rendering ability won't take him much farther than this, so he'll immediately move into an area where he is more comfortable and experienced: 3D modeling.
