"WHAT IS TORCH TIGER?"
Well, for the most part its a follow up to "Who is Rocket Johnson?" A graphic novel anthology being self-published by Walt Disney Animation Studio's Story Artists and Directors. It's an all-ages book in which every artist answers the question: "What is Torch Tiger?"
I was able to be apart of Torch Tiger featuring many talented artist like Paul Felix, Andy Harkness, Mike Gabriel and of course, Paul Briggs, the creater and contributor of these super cool books.
It will be sold exclusively at Comic-Con 09' booth 2302 in San Diego.
For more information on the book you can visit:

And, here is a link to comic-con for those who are unfamiliar with the convention:

I took liberty in changing the compositions a bit and exploring with different color schemes. I highly recommend studying from Sergio Leone's films because of his fearless compositions.
The first thing announced that I've worked on! Finally!
It's coming out this Christmas on abc. 'Prep and landing' is a Disney Animation Studio short directed by Stevie Wermers and Kevin Deters and Art Directed by Andy Harkness... also featuring the brilliant multi departmental PA Steph Gortz. It's funny, warm hearted and totally original; was a joy to work on this short and look forward to watching it.
I'll be posting some artwork I did for the show on Christmas day, everything from visual development to backgrounds; so please come back and take a look!
Thanks

this is a sneak peak at my next gallery show at Disney.
I remember when I decided that I would pursue an art career. Starting out I didn't know
where I would end up but I knew that no matter what happened I would work hard and hope for the best. I didn't think I would be staying up night after night working to get that sketch just right, or sitting for a couple of hours thinking of how to start a painting. I don't know how I even got this far. It is the most challenging thing in my life and it hasn't gotten easier just harder. I fail all the time and just want to give up almost every week I think. But you know what, because of all that it has been the most exciting and exhilarating experience of my life. I feel a lot of you artist are going through this too.
I know I will never get that sketch just right, because it is never meant to be just right; at least as long as I am alive.

I don't know. Thought I would try something more epic and real. Pretty stupid but I HAD fun. Maybe I'll do another tonight before I sleep.
I was just recently hired by Disney Animation Studio as a trainee and very excited. I just got through my first week and now heading into my next week at the studio where I have the great pleasure to be studying one on one with Bill Perkins and Andy Harkness. I don't know what to expect but I am just happy to be there with such great talent. I will continue posting so please come back to visit soon.

If you guys like it let me know I just might finish it, Kind of bored with it though.
Hope fully I will be able to show my Concept art from 'Tinker Bell' in 2010 when the movie is out. But you'll have to wait. Sorry.
Sorry, all my new stuff is property of Disney and they will not let me reveal it to anyone or else...they will take off my head!
Here are some older pieces of mine. I haven't been very religious about posting sorry guys. I hope you like them.
Class assignment.
Objective: To paint a scene from imagination.
Fun factor rating: I had a lot of fun doing this one so I give the fun rating about an 8.5
Try it them out. I got the idea from a buddy of mine Ben Mauro. If you guys haven't checked his work out then do it now. I have him linked as one of my friends
I will be posting another painting process soon. This time it will be an environment so come back if you want to see it.

I have more robots from my class assignment if you guys want to see them then let me know and if you post a comment I would love to hear what you have to say.
Thank you
Turley
If you guy think they could use some enhancements or changes please comment and help me out.
Hidden Castle (First Painting): I like to paint environments that have to do with the places I would like to see. I bet there is a place out there some where that looks like this.
Jack And The Bean Stock (Second Painting): I just like painting fat dudes.
Hope you like them they were fun to do.
Dear Bloggers
Recent class project. We had to draw & paint 10 robots for a class assignment at Art Center College of Design (artcenter.edu). I am glad I tried his method because it was pretty straight forward. I will show the process here, but I suggest you learn it from Scot Drake at http://scotdrake.com he breaks it down much better than I ever could. Hope you like it.
Sincerely
J.D. Turley
Start your Robot by creating a rough shape. Then clean it up so you can use it for you line drawing.
I personaly don't usually use lines when I paint but I think after trying Scot Drakes method I might more often.
They are good for understanding the form before painting it. Lines are your friend.
