The Predatory Hunt

I haven’t done any concept art for the “prehistoric” world for awhile… so I drew a couple of the “beast” cubs being hunted by one of it’s predators (which is some sort of land crab).

Announcing a New Animation Project

Hey guys! I was messing around with some action poses, and did a little model sheet of my Outlaw.
I’ve been trying to develop a new animation project to work on, and I've tossed around a lot of ideas. I messed with this guy for a bit and I don’t want to release too much information yet, but my plan is to do my next animated short with this character.

I’m going to do this step by step, and just focus on concept art and storyboarding for now… also, I am starting to tag all my work for this project as “Sassi Outlaw”, so feel free to browse some of the work so far.

I’m really excited for this idea, but like I said, I don’t want to jump the gun (hehe)… so stay tuned! I’m sure there’ll be more visual development art sooner than later.
And below is an unfinished ink and pen drawing I'm working on.

I Won First Place in the Laika Monthly Creative Challenge!

As the title states... I won with a record breaking 228 'LIKES' for their creative challenges.
I guess they are sending me something AWESOME and I'll be sure to post it when it gets here...

But I figured I'd post a few progress shots!
I painted this all with acrylic paint on newspaper.
It's based on the 1953 movie, "Robot Monster".
