Pirates Map Doodles

Sea Monster

Ship

Monster Fish

These Doodles are for a pitch my old company did for the Aardman project Pirates Band of Misfits.  They were used for a treasure map designed by my A.D. Carey Conley.  I really enjoyed this project the characters were awesome, and I think everyone was really excited to work on an Aardman project, even if it was just a pitch.  Enjoy! 

Old Man Character Design

Original Sketch book explorations. 

Full model post Mudbox and pre rigging.

Some nice close ups on the face.

This is a design I did for a short film I was working on that never got off the ground.  The model is of an old man who's features became vulture like as he grew older.  I really wanted to make this apparent in profile so that it would create a nice original silhouette.  these three images represent the first sketches I did through the Maya, Mudbox modeling faze, sadly I never got to see him move, but I still like the stills. 

P.S. the eyebrows were still a work in progress when I stopped working on this guy, Enjoy! 

TMNT Pitch Promo BG design

This is a background illustration I did for a TMNT Promo on Nickelodeon.  Frame one is the inked illustration, and frame two is the painted and finished frame.  I did all the work in photoshop, I don't think I created any custom brushes on this one.  I will have the finished composite on my 2013 Reel on AdamVanVleet.com the composite of my illustration and the TMNT assets from Nick was done by the incomparable Josh Mabie.  Enjoy!
