Finished this up the other day and thought I’d post it here too. It served as a warm up for a few mornings. I tend to forget that I need to take about a half hour to warm up before I start working for the day.

Also working on another image that I think I might make into a promo-poster. This was originally started for COW over on ConceptArt.org. I haven’t participated with COW in so long!

Anyway, more work to come along with some exciting announcements in October and November! :)

I can’t believe it’s already August. 2011 is just flying by! This year has been excellent so far. I’ve learned so much and I’ve gotten to work on some really exciting and fun projects; some of which I have yet to share! I really can’t wait to either. This is a work in progress – a profile study of something I’m working on in my spare time.

Lately, I’ve been trying to work out more human characters and I’m going to need it. I’ll need a lot of practice for another upcoming project I’ll be involved in. This is the more successful out of the few I’ve sketched out this last week:

This character is actually directly based off of a man I saw in the Mission in San Francisco last month. I was on my way to give a talk at my former college when this man came walking down the street, cat and all. His boom-box was blaring metal too! It was a pretty remarkable sight. This can only mean I need to spend more time in the Mission to observe more amazing people for my sketchbook.

That’s it for now. More updates coming soon!

These two images were created a while ago but they are in the current issue of Imagine FX magazine and can be seen in the Q&A section. I really loved creating these two paintings. It’s an awesome creature design issue! Bobby Chiu created an excellent cover for it! You can check it out here –> Imagine FX – Issue 72

Also, I just found out that I am on the confirmed exhibitor list for Spectrum Fantastic Art Live! - A new fantasy art convention being held in Kansas City, May of next year! It should be really awesome and the list of exhibitors is pretty incredible. Needless to say, I have lots of work to get done before next Summer!

This is a work is progress. I help run an activity on CGhub called Creature Planets. It’s a creature design activity and the current topic is to design a new mutant creature Villain for the TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle) Universe. I chose to create a Honey Badger chick! Excited to get her done – I think I might put together a tutorial for this image if I get the time.

This was sort of an experiment that turned into a finished piece. It’s what I imagined Katniss Everdeen to look like from The Hunger Games series.

Been working on lots lately. Mostly for Sychey Games. We’re working on getting content put up online so I should have more to show and talk about in regards to that soon.

Been working out more about the Red Valley too. I’m hoping it will turn out to be a fun project.

But for now, more ridiculous sketching:

Things have been bittersweet lately. The sketch up above was something I thought I’d finish but it’s been “collecting dust”. I’ve had some really great prospects for a new job coming up soon. I’m really very excited about it! It would definitely be a step up and more in the direction I’d like to go with my career. Of course, as it is with movies and video games, everything is “Non-disclosure”. I can share things as I go along though. I’ve been working closely with Sychey Games recently on a new project they are creating. Here is some artwork that I am allowed to share. Sketches for Plasmagonia™ :

This project has been a blast to work on so far! Lots and lots of creatures to design. I’ll be sharing more about this project as it moves forward too!

I suppose (some) of the bitterness of the last couple of weeks would come from the fact that my project, The Morae River, has come to a close. I’ve decided to leave it alone for now. It’s hard to let go of a project that has been such a huge part of my life for the last three years. I feel as though the project has grown stagnant and I’ve fallen into a “system”. Which is always good but I need the project to be more than that. The Morae River taught me so much though. Really, I’m seeing it as somewhat of a jumping off point for my next project. I’ve realized that I’d rather not be in Solturna. Of course, even though I rarely have time to work on personal work my mind needs a place to go so I’ve decided to take on something new a little closer to “home”.

This is a rough banner for my new venture. I’ll be posting more on this project soon but for now it’s very “under construction”. I am really excited for it though. I feel as though it’s closer to the project I envisioned in the first place.

Also a reminder that you can follow my activity and such on Facebook now:

I don’t have much to post in the realm of personal work. Adjusting to my work load has caused some of my personal stuff to become neglected. I do manage to sketch here and there though. This is something I like doing – just sort of sketching lots of body-forms quickly in pen. I have a tendency to want to get everything right and so this helps me to loosen up and try to let go of making the drawing perfect.

Here are more doodles:

I’ve also recently made a facebook page for my artwork. I was sort of opposed to the idea for a while – only because I already update a million things on the internet already so one more thing seemed like a bit much. However, it sort of needed to happen. If you’d like to keep up with my work on facebook you can here:

Brynn Metheney – Concept Art and Illustration on Facebook!

I know a very talented lady by the name of Laura Guill – we went to school together and had studios almost next to each other in thesis. Recently I commissioned a small illustration from her and just had to share it!

This tiny tapir is literally the most adorable thing in the world. Laura’s work involves her painting subjects in acrylic and then cutting them out and pasting them to a background to created a three dimensional effect. I love my tapir so much! Thanks Laura! :D You can see more of Laura’s tiny animals on her blog, here: http://crown-of-laurel.blogspot.com/

Anyway, I’m off to work on some developmental work. I do have a about 10 card illustrations I’m hoping will be released so I can show those as well.

This was an old sketch I stumbled across and I thought I’d post it. I was reminded of it by my recent “Daily Deviation” feature over on DeviantArt.com. “Dinner With Gnolls” was part of an idea I had to explore gnoll customs and physiology as a way to boost my portfolio with more fantasy/concept work. The piece was sort of a turning point for me as I began to experiment with light-source a bit more than I was used to. While I’m not really fond of the piece now it was a nice surprise to have it featured as it was to stop and remember it for a minute. In any case, I’d like to explore gnolls a bit more as I usually think they are overlooked in fantasy and such. Most times they a written off as bloodthirsty and dangerous – which I suppose could be the case. However, I always have fun taking something like this and putting a naturalist twist on the subject. ;)

This is a more recent piece. Another one for Imagine FX magazine. This one should be out in stores soon. I have a few other Q&A’s that will be out sooner that this one but I felt as if I should post about it now since it hadn’t been put up anywhere else before now.

Work on personal projects is slow as I am busy with other projects – I feel like I’ve been saying this a lot. :P  Either way I’m beginning to adjust to the work load so I’m hoping to get some personal work done soon. I have some ideas for a new project I’d like to start. The Morae River has been halted for now. I think the project has been exhausted. I think there were too many restrictions with the way it was set up. In any case, I’m excited to start exploring a new world.

This was a quick warm up from this morning. Nothing too special – just trying to wake up and get things going.

Tuesday night I was invited to speak to two classes at my former college, CCAC. Robert Hunt and Bob Ciano had me share my work with their students and talk about life after school. I focused mainly on self promotion and the act of working on something creative everyday. Something I knew right out of college was that I’d need to keep up my momentum. Having a blog like this and joining online communities helped me stay on top of deadlines I had set for myself because I felt like I had an audience to please somewhere – even if that was never the case. I also covered online promotion and the power of social networks like blogs, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. I’ve had a good amount of success reaching people through the internet. Of course I also talked about physical promotion, networking and meeting people. Sending out books and prints to potential clients and such. I also covered how long it takes to get things moving when it comes to freelancing. Graduating in the midst of a economic crisis was hard enough. December 2009 was tough, real tough. No jobs anywhere. Yet somehow, I made it work. It took lots of willpower. There were plenty of days where I wanted to give up and go back to school for something – anything at that point. Something to take me out of the recession. However, I think sticking with my art through that time really made me realize how much I love doing it. Of course, I’m busy with lots of deadlines and projects but I’ll never be busy enough. I think that was the thing I really wanted to talk to them about. To never be satisfied. To try everything. To constantly move forward. This is what really got me working at what I love – never giving up, never giving in and always being thirsty for the next project. Overall it was a lot of fun to talk to the students. A friend of mine and fellow illustrator, Brianna Harden shared a quote on her blog a while back that I thought was inspriring to anyone starting out and anyone who has been in this for a while. I shared it with the classes later through email:

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” -Ira Glass

While I’m no expert and I’ve only been at this for a couple of years, I do know that: working as hard as you can and being nice to your peers can get you places. It’s not easy and it will never be easy but if you have others there with you who are as inspiring and motivated as you are, it can be awesome.

Anyway, those were some of my thoughts. Today I’m working on more stuff I can’t share for a while. I do have another spot in Imagine FX coming to the States soon and some cards done for Fantasy Flight Games that I should be able to post in the coming days.

Otherwise, I’m working on the project I’ve always wanted to work on and its awesome. ;) I really can’t wait to share it.

Been trying to do more sketching in the sketchbook lately. Here are some recent doodles. Really liking the blue pencil. It sort of takes me back to when I was studying game design and animation in L.A. I’m hoping to dig a little deeper into more traditional media soon.

I’m leaving for L.A. 6 hours from now. I’m not very sleepy but I am exhausted. It’s a weird in between feeling. This last week has been full of work and surprises. I’ve been keeping up a steady flow of Q&A articles for Imagine FX magazine for the last couple of months. Mostly to do with creature questions. I’ve been having so much fun creating and showing process for the magazine. I’m really excited to see them in print soon and show them here on the blog.

Mostly nervous about L.A. I guess. Some exciting things are taking place lately. Things are looking up…way up.

Something that I found in the “sketchbook” folder of my computer. I try to draw something everyday to further my understanding of photoshop and digital art. Mostly, they get deleted or just thrown into a folder. I didn’t really like the way it turned out at first and I still don’t really like the image but I thought I’d post it anyway. Maybe I’ll put all of the little random doodles into a giant image one day.

Today is grey. It’s been grey since Monday and while I usually welcome a cooler climate with open arms, sweaters and tea, I can’t help but feel a little unmotivated. I suppose It’s good weather for reading – I have a lot of that to do. I’ve been reading a lot of comics lately. I took a class about comics during my last semester of school. Since that class, I’ve been hooked. I love comics. They make me care about everything. I will probably end up making a links section on this blog soon so I can link to all of the comic creators and web-comic that I follow. For now though I will share a web-comic that I read last year in class.

It’s called When I am King. Most web-comics are just like paper comics, but on a screen instead of paper. This particular comic, along with others, is one that uses the web for what it is capable of – motion, scrolling maybe even sound. I will most likely post a few others in posts to come. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this adventure.

I recently bought a book that was created by a friend. If you are into creature design like I am then you’ll definitely want to pick up this book. Planet to Planet is a collection of sketches by artist Mike Corriero. The book is stuffed full of doodles, drawings, sketches and studies of creatures and animals. The artwork is beautiful! Check it out here: Planet to Planet on LuLu.com. It’s a must-have for creature design lovers. You can also get a 15% discount on the book by entering this coupon code: BEACHREAD305 when checking out. Be sure to have a looksie at the book!

So to take a break from doing that I painted some quick alien-ish heads to serve as avatars for this blog. I’m hoping to have some more work up soon. I might do more fun things like this for a bit. I’m needing a bit of a break to get some things figured out. I have a trip coming up soon so that should be good separation from my work right now. I’ve been feeling somewhat dry.

Going through a bit of a stint right now in my work. I feel like there is a transition coming up. I’m having issues with exactly what I want my work to look like. The thought of becoming more marketable is always appealing but I’d like to try and stay unique in what I do. The computer has freed me up a lot and I really do enjoy working with it. I’m really wanting to dive back into some creature design I’v been thinking about lately as well. I always enjoy thinking up species and behaviors to write and draw about. The Morae River has been on the back burner for a bit and I’m ready to pick it up again maybe even move into some digital renditions of things.

In other news I’ve gotten my aquarium back in order. I’m thinking about  adopting some neon tetras and gouramis to live in it. I’ll post some pictures when I get them settled in the tank.

Working on a new species for The Morae River. I’ve been focusing on humanoids for the last couple of weeks and I needed to get back to this new species. She’s been sitting on my mind now for a while and I’m excited to get started. Yes, this is what the beginning usually looks like (lots of side views, oddly) and while I don’t usually like to post these sorts of sketches, I am really wanting to share more of my process. Hopefully, it will inspire me to create more sketches to push things further.

This particular species is from the Shenzabl Plains, a realm not yet explored or defined as of now. If you’re a follower of the Morae, you might know what family ( and perhaps genus) this species might belong to. I am still trying to decide where she sits in the grander scheme of things – as far as who she’s related to but I’m leaning toward Barduspedids. Which is a newer term not present on The Morae River blog. I’ve been going through my writing, trying to clean things up and so far its proving to be quite the task.

I’ll be moving back to humanoids once this species is posted to the blog. I’m now shifting my focus to culture building for the next few weeks. I’ve had some ideas floating around for the last year or so and I’m beginning to write and sketch them out. This is not related to The Morae River in anyway. As far as I am concerned, there are no indigenous tribes that inhabit Solturna or even Orcura. This particular culture, The Alatu, are completely separate from anything I’ve created thus far. I’ll be posting sketches and writing about them soon.

Anyway, I’m off to do more sketching…

Its been a while since I’ve updated! The Morae River was featured on io9.com recently. That was quite a surprise! The book seems to be selling pretty well so far, although I’ll be taking it down at the end of November. I initially wanted to take a break from the project but it really isn’t letting up – as in I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m assuming this is a good thing and I’ll keep working on the project although I’ll be slowing up a bit due to other projects.

Also, the Morae River show went great! Thanks to everyone who came out to see the work! I really appreciate all of your support! I’ll be opening a store online soon to sell some of the prints I have from APE. I’ll make an announcement through all of the various web portals I frequent once that is set up.

I’ll be posting some new work on brynnart.com and this blog once the art “goes live” so keep an eye out for that.

This Tuesday I’ll be giving a demo at CCA in Bob Ciano’s Typography for Illustrators class. I’ll be going through how I color animals for The Morae River in photoshop. I will be filming my process and will hopefully have it on here and HeyTutti.com. That should exciting, I don’t think I’ve ever talked about how I work so it should be interesting.

I’m starting to get some work done for “Tiger Tea” – a children’s book I had an idea for a while back. I had made a smaller dummy of the book and am now looking to finish it. I won’t be uploading too much work from it until the final sample book is created.

Most of my time is now going to filling up FishHook Studio.com which has been suffering from neglect. I might even drop it all together and squeeze it into brynnart.com to make things simple. I’ll have to think about it…

Other than that I’m just trying to get to December….

Another doodle. I took an old face and gave him a body.

Im currently laying down layouts for my show and its turning out to be a tight squeeze for all I would like to include. I have a lot of text that needs to be legible for the average sized person and so hanging everything at eye level is a good idea. This is proving to be quite the task. Printing all of the drawings and text will be interesting.

Im nervous about Tuesday. I don’t really like to fly. I’m always a wreck on the plane and I can never sleep through it. I am looking forward to some time to relax though. This summer has been pretty crazy and has gone by way too fast.

I start my final semester in exactly one week…

We are half way through Pre College and so far things have been running somewhat smoothly. I was invited by Dugald Stermer to give a talk along with him and Ashley Benham about the illustration department and what it has to offer to students. We covered other things, such as working for clients and how illustration is turning out to be incredibly flexible these days.  I went well enough and I think the students really enjoyed Dugald and they asked a good amount of questions. Barron Storey was out of town for his show down in L.A. and so I took the students to the Cartoon Art Museum for the time we were at Yerba Buena Park. It was lots of fun and I suggest you go there if you live in the bay area. The show up now is pretty amazing. They all seemed to enjoy it and are turning out to be a very good bunch.

I discovered an artist today who’s work I instantly fell in love with – Claire Morgan. I suggest you explore her website and prepare to be amazed. I was speechless when I saw these . They are haunting and fantastical all at the same time.

I got a new bristol pad yesterday. I think its calling me over….
