CONCEPT – CGCOOKIE GREASE PENCIL COURSE
After a couple of month’s work, my new grease pencil course, CONCEPT has dropped! This requires CG Cookie membership for access, and focuses on the process of creating a single piece of concept art. It’s a super-quick course, and includes a lesson on color theory; shows my methods for making textures and palettes; and gives you a step-by-step guide to creating a concept sheet to hand over to a client.

Galleries!
I produce a wide variety of art – from professional work stuff, to life drawing and even some NSFW topics. It’s difficult to post everything on Social Media, as Instagram will flag stuff; Cara does not yet allow NSFW (meaning nudity of any kind). Mastodon so far has the best methods, allowing me to add a Content Warning and mark posts as sensitive.
So I’ve begun to post some stuff here in two galleries – a professional, and a personal. I’m still working on a better gallery set up, and would welcome any suggestions for a good gallery plug-in which creates an easy and intuitive user experience to navigate – perhaps something with a sort function? Until then, I am segmenting sets so that they are viewable easily on all devices.

BCON-LA – Storyboarding Presentation
On April 19th, I attended the inaugural BCON-LA hosted by CG Cookie (for whom I work for as an instructor). I presented a talk on Storyboarding in 3D Space using Blender, and how it fits into a Blender-specific pipeline. It was well-attended, and while only the audio from the original footage could be salvaged, it gave me an opportunity to add in all the animated content I could not show live during the presentation.

MODIFY – a new CG Cookie Course
I completed my second course for CG Cookie this year. It is a comprehensive guide to Blender’s Modifiers. Honestly, it was a daunting task, but I managed to create a comprehensive guide to all the main modifiers in Blender. These can be referenced at any time my students, whenever they require a primer on a particular modifier, or if they just want to see what it does.
MODIFY is now streaming on cgcookie.com https://b3d.cgcookie.com/oblQ7A and is also available on Blender Market https://b3d.cgcookie.com/fzfhCi
