Hey everybody, in an attempt to consolidate and have an all around better blog that doubles as a portfolio site, I have moved over to cwestart.blogspot.com. I'll have a current portfolio and also a maintained Sketchbook section with processes and daily sketchings. Hope you check it out!

Bahhh, sorry for the absence. I have been busy, though.

I was overtaken by nostalgia and therefore, forced to do some Legend of Zelda stuff for fun.

Here's a finished Ganondorf, and a WIP Sheik..






Goofy stupid dragon baby:
I think he's a little too "bleh", not enough contrast.

Lizard man

Here is a race concept I did for Mountain Wind Productions. It was really, pretty fun. I tried to make him cool without being too much of a generic lizard type race. hmmm...

The Korigs:

I've been very busy making new stuff! Here's one for now, I'll post more when time permits.

Did this one for my Dad's birthday. He actually asked for it, haha..sweet

It's pretty much a hunter or forest tracker type fellow, with a golden-ish bow.
I'm pleased with the colors.

TrollHAmmer, GOGOGO.

Shwew

uh, here's some stuff. I don't really think anyone ever looks at this stuff, but if someone does and wants to see some process stuff, just let me know, some way or another. I just said 'stuff' four times.


Fall forest spirit that creeps around in the woods with dangley fingers.




Not so Happy with this guy...meh







Robot Samurai guy that chops things apart with maximum power robot strength.

This was just a test run.. did it in class yesterday. I think that I'll attempt to make a pretty epic Venom painting. He was one of my favorites when I was a youngster.

Some DBZ magic powers floatin' rocks around and stuff. Im not sure if I'm done with it yet.. Ill post the process shots later
Feedback is always welcome :P

Mr.Radar has just been jammed with raspberry

I have a few new things to post..


Obsidian Knight. He has a volcano sword and pointy armor

Native Wargods

A very quick warmup. Edward Curtis reference.. love this stuff so much

The Hounds of Tindalos

H.P. Lovecraft's Hounds of Tindalos.

"They are lean and athirst!" he shrieked... "All the evil in the universe was concentrated in their lean, hungry bodies. Or had they bodies? I saw them only for a moment, I cannot be certain."
—Frank Belknap Long, "The Hounds of Tindalos"

For the first time ever...I planned a little bit.



Here is what I think is the final...not sure though. I haven't looked at it enough at this point.

Dear Journal,



Did this one over the week as time permitted. It really started from some crazy music and I just went with it. If you haven't heard of Immediate Music, you should check it out. Definitely good stuff. On another note, DragonCon 2010 was quite awesome. I made and sported a StarCraft Ghost costume. I really wish there was a bigger art presence at DragonCon but, none the less, there is much dorkery to be had.

Icey

Well, I finally made a real website-> www.cmwest-art.com . Tried to keep it very simple.
On another note, here is a freelanced icey cliff, done for Anthropos Games

D&D Dwarf Vs HookHorror Art Order Challenge. I'm very disappointed with my competence.

/here's to getting better

//REstART V2.0

Let's see, let's see...

I just got back from a pleasant trip to Santa Fe. It was a great time with great friends. That state will turn me into a fat ass, exceptional food. Each visit there seems to energize me. It always makes me want to draw my arse off when I get back. It's a very inspiring place.

Okay, so here we go...
I started doing warm-ups every day and here are a few(most are throw aways) with some other stuff mixed in.

This a pretty rough Charcoal drawing of Larissa...Sorry for the egg head Larissa.
