After juggling the kids all day I managed to sit down for an hour or two and get some drawing done.

I downloaded the new ArtRage 4 update yesterday so I was playing around with that as well. It has some nice new features. The highlights for me are the new Wacom integration and a workbench mode which is much more elegant than the standard layout. ArtRage 4 is a welcomed update and I would certainly recommend it but on a personal note there are still some tools I would like to see added. I’ll have to head over to the forum and put in a request for a digital rag and a pallet knife that can scrape paint off, not just spread it around.

To say these last three months have been busy would be an understatement. I had two book commissions, moved to California and started working at Lucasfilm Animation. The dust is settling now and I should have some fresh work to share shortly.

Not sure where it went. The painting itself is from my Dick and Don and the Black Lotus movie project. It depicts them chasing some thuggish art thieves through the back alley markets of Kong Kong. I’m guessing this is over near central.
It is also one of the first things I painted using ArtRage studio Pro. This was a game changer for me. Being able to paint quick and messy was a god send at the time.

I spent a few hours this the morning trying to track this painting down for a portfolio i’m currently piecing together. It is a little sad but I can’t find the original ArtRage .ptg file. My guess is that it is probably sitting on some dusty hard-drive back in Canada. I’ll just have to add it to my long “things I wish I wish I brought to Hong Kong” list.
