Hey, so its been a while since I posted here. I did create a site that is specifically for my Portfolio now, it is located at http://aylaradies.wix.com/aradies and have decided to keep this one as a sketchblog. 

Anyways, here is a newer background that I put together. The second image is where I would place characters in this scene.

Well it looks like its been a couple months since my last update but I have not been idle. 

Lately, I have been working on an indie game with some other talented game designers and artists and have been responsible for game art assets and some backgrounds on it. Below is a little taste as to what I have been doing.

Lately Ive been trying to break away from being totally digital and have been working without an Undo button. Its definitely made me work on my line and getting things down with a bit more confidence. As per usual, comments and critiques are appreciated.

Hey everyone, a quick little sneak peek on a background that I've been working on for a pilot. There is a sign in the front yard that I removed to keep the information of the series under wraps. I will be posting some more once I have a few finished.

Well, its been a while since my last post and the main reason I disappeared was that I was working on a project called TDAY. Lisa Dosson, Peter Jayne and a Disney Animator, James, worked on the animation for the piece and Ranjit Rana was the background designer and painter. I provided the Toonboom Ink and Paint, compositing and some editing services for the project.

Once I have been told where the Director has posted the film, I will have a link here.   

Also, in my limited spare time, Ive been working through and fleshing out some more character designs for my short. It seems to have taken a different approach to what I saw in my head but I think ultimately these designs might have more opportunity to mess around with clothing styles. Im still working on the character on the far right as I am still not 100% happy with the clothing design. I think its going to end up with some more flow around the torso area or have some sort of open jacket. Need to mess around a bit more though. 

In the next while, and over Christmas, I will be working on some of the locations and starting to get a feel for this world, building off of my notes (roughly numbering 10 pages long so far, with a map of the city and outlying areas)). 

-Cheers and Enjoy

New one is on the Right, first version is on the Left.
Heres a new concept that I've been throwing around. It started out as a sketch for ArtOutbreak's Elven Noble Character Design competition but then turned 180 in the design and ended up here. 

Created in Photoshop with the mainly using Poly Lasso Tool and some textures. 

Any critiques are welcome.


EDIT: Had a few friends point some things out so I went back and did some tweaking.

I just got back from a 2 week trip in Cuba where we were hit by Tropical Storm Isaac and as I do not tan that well, I stayed well in the shade and did some sketching.

Ok so Ive kept this project under wraps for a while. Its been on actual paper hanging on the wall of my room as I brainstorm for it. Im still figuring out what sort of game this might be. Flash sidescroller, top down ff style, or something with the unreal engine. This is mainly just going to be an experiment for myself to see what I am capable of when I have some free time.

Also, Ive been writing and revising a script for a new animated short. For this project, Ive been taking sword fighting classes at a local place in Vancouver called Acadamie Duello (http://www.academieduello.com/) so that I will be able to accurately animate some of the fight sequences I have planned. Below is the first page of the script and there are still some still going to be some changes coming along.

So I was going through this site and I realized that I hadnt put up any new files in a while. So heres something Ive been working on in my spare time. The bottom 4 guns were created in Illustrator then I brought them into photoshop and did some variations on the Glock and the Pump-action Shotgun.

Have been working in Sketchbook Pro, just messing around with the symmetry function. Then brought it into Photoshop and tiled the view.

During the big Cyber Monday sale this year, I picked up a version of Sketchbook Pro. While messing around in there, I discovered that it had a symmetry view for the x and y. This is what I ended up making.

I have been messing around with colour lately and playing some awesome new video games and my favorite thing is to look at the art and figure out how they come up with some of the colour pallets and designs. So heres my take on some weapon sets for an area, an example of the landscape and some creatures that might live there.

 Ive been working on the Sketchbook Project and finally figured out what Im going to do for my topic 'Time Traveller' and decided to go though different art styles that I dont particulary work in. So far Ive done some Art Nouvaeu and now am doing a few that look like Illuminated Texts. On the right is the sketch I scanned from my book, and the left one I painted in Photoshop.
