Boredddd

Drawing the bae cause I'm down about leaving him and nashville for the holidays. ;-;

Winter is afoot

Hey guys! Just getting ready for my graduation ceremony and winter festivities! To get in the mood I did a twitter pic of myself and then just a quick painting. Hope yall like em! And happy holidays to everyone!

Update!

Hey guys sorry I've been so absent lately. Work and stuff really puts a damper on the art game. But fear not, I'm slowly crawling back into it and soon enough I'll be at it again churning out piece after piece. Until then, enjoy this bunch of sketches.

Quick update

Hey guys! So i'm updating with something I already posted on tumblr (Honestly, I'm trying to move over there and post more! follow it at http://cstallingsart.tumblr.com/)

But this is for a personal project, currently titled "Escape". It's about a Chameleon that gets stuck in a pet store while trying to escape. That's all I have so far... I'll elaborate a little later when I finish the script!

For now, I have 4 storyboard frames and a piece of concept art I did for it also as a paint practice. Hope you guys like it!

Quick Painnnt

I had my roommate scribble for 10 seconds and the painting is what I came up with!

I need to get outside

I really want to play Harvest Moon now...

Steven Universe Study

Hey guys! Just some Steven Universe practices I'm doing (I just binge-watched the show so I'm all caught up) and it helped inspire a couple little drawings and an awesome gif! Hope you like em!

Social Media!

Hey guys. I'm updating today with links to my other social media pages. Any follows and spreading the word of my work is greatly appreciated! I may post a couple sketches tonight but I've continued with my work on Hipposterous and I'll be posting a few of those backgrounds soon as well!

Also, just a really quick thank you to everyone who has laid eyes or liked, or even saved an image of my work. Your silent support pushes me to keep drawing, sketching and painting every day.

Beach!

So I'm trying to practice light and atmospheric perspective. I think this is a good start!

Gestures, Sketches and Mermen

Rolling on with some quick work I've been doing. You're gonna see a lot of paint practices coming from me soon! Until then, here are some lovely 1 minute gestures, some sketches, and the merman drawing I did for a challenge!

No I'm not drawing Frozen fan art...

Hey guys! This was a painting I did for a facebook group called Creative Corner (If you aren't a part of it, you should join! https://www.facebook.com/groups/782849761773032/ )

I've included my process for the painting to! And I've been painting a lot of blue scenes so bear with me that you might see a lot of water and ice in the next few posts.

Extra Sketches!!

Did more stuff!

For Future Reference...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN GHOULS AND GIRLS!! (More coming soon)

Octoberrrr

Hey guys! It's been a bit since I last posted on here I think. I've just been getting used to being out of school. It's scary but really exciting because I've opened so many door for myself and I can make my way to california soon! But besides that, everything has been good and I've still been drawing every chance I get. Also a quick note to everyone who vies my blog, thank you so much for your support! It's very appreciated and it boosts my moral to keep up my work.

Here are a few things I've done in the last couple days. I'm experimenting with different brushes so expect to see a variety of styles soon!

Lil Red

I've been a little busy with portfolio work but I was able to squeeze in this little painting in a couple hours (Over the span of a couple days). I'll update with more work soon!!

Fakemon!!

When I was younger I always had so many ideas for new pokemon and so I started to design my own regions and stuff like that. It's been a long time since I've really got to sit down and sketch a couple ideas but here are a few! Some of them are previous works I did but revamped and others I just did off the top of my head. Hope you guys like them!

Sketch Update!

Continuing the theme of childhood and storytelling, I'm posting a couple sketches I did during my last portfolio class.

And the second image is a storytelling sketch. I started because I've been playing Pokemon X and I can only imagine the rooms in the Elite 4, one being the water room. I'll try to finish this one because I'm really enjoying that.

ANIMATION!!! Day #1

I did a ball bounce!! I'm going to be doing the 51 exercises for animators and I'll be posting my progress on here. For anyone who doesn't know about the 51 exercises, I'll leave the link right below this message!

Sketch Time!

So I started watching Gravity Falls again... I love that show to much. Also a fakemon for a warm up!

Video Game Space Stuff!!

So I have this "Big Boy" job being a lead developer for this mobile app game. It's a RTS-type game titled "We're Gonna Make It". You play as generic humans living in space trying to live peacefully on other planets. Too bad for you because the original residents of the planet want you dead. It's a fun fortress building concept and I can't wait to see it come to life! Above I included a couple pieces I've done in the last few days. Hope you guys like it and expect to see more soon!

Internship Update + New Concepts!

Staying busy this week with work and portfolio stuff, I'm about to finish the first 2 shots for my internship and the original story for the ninja heist project was changed up a little bit so I did a couple quick sketches for the storyboard I'm working on over the rest of this week.

I will post the final images of the Hipposterous shots asap as well as the line art images my instructor provided for my next couple shots! And stay connected because I'll hopefully post a full animatic of the ninja heist project around the beginning of next week!

My Facebook Page + Ninjas

Hey guys so I set up a facebook page of my art for everyone there to see. (I'm trying to branch it out so likes and letting some friends know woulds be so greatful!) 

https://www.facebook.com/cstallingsart

Check it out!

NINJAS! Thats the next theme for my current team production class. My first initial idea was an opening for a show but the class helped elaborate it into a heist series opening.  Below are a couple bits I've worked on this week and be sure to check back for more!

Keep your eyes peeled for more stuff to come these next few weeks!

Hipposterous Internship: Week 1

(Shots in Progress from "Hipposterous")

www.hipposterous.com

Hey guys! I began work on my internship today with John Hill on his Masters thesis. I and another student are painting backgrounds for the production so within the next couple days, you should see both of these finished as well as more that I'll be working on for the next few weeks! I just thought I would show my progress after the first day. Prepare for more!!

Be sure to check out John Hills website/blog for this production for updates on the overall project!! 

Practice: Boxes, Boxes and more Boxes

Brushing up on 2-point perspective and a little bit of painting!

Coffee Sketch #1

So with my new cintiq at home and my mini office completed, I figured id celebrate with the first sketch I did on photoshop at home! Nothing spectacular but I just wanted to share this moment with you all! Expect more work very soon!

Self Portrait: Bug Gym Leader WIP

"Bug Gym Leader: Casey"

A recent project my friend is doing involved creating an image of ourselves as a gym leader with some of our favorite pokemon! Grass was taken so I chose bug and I began to sketch out my team. Hopefully over my school break I'll work on this inbetween portfolio work and have this done!

Painting: Robot WIP

I've been working on this one every now and then between portfolio work. The face isn't finalized (I drew the Big Hero 6 face for giggles) and I plan on filling in the concrete space and adjusting the bottom area. Until that comes around, enjoy my little robot guy and prepare to see him in a series of paintings!

Quick Practice: Desert

So I've been in a little artist block slump this week and this was the first passable thing I believe I could draw. I'm over it now and back to working on portfolio and other paintings though! I barely saved this because CC crashed and so I had to print-screen a jpg of this. heh
