Here's some visual development work. Some flew, most didn't; I guess that's how things go. I'll try to post more when I have the time to find all the work I did for the show.

A walk in the Park.

2009-08-17T14:42:00.000-07:00

I'm part Irish and sometimes wonder who I would be if I grew up in Ireland. If I would like to go on walks in parks or perhaps drink like a fish!

What is Torch Tiger?

2009-07-27T10:28:00.000-07:00

I think Torch Tiger is a gang!... A Japanese gang!

"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?"

Film Studies from 'A Fistful of Dollars'

2009-06-14T13:40:00.000-07:00

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.

Prep and Landing

2009-05-22T13:49:00.000-07:00

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

Just A Quick Color change.

here is a color Rough.

I think I might go into the final sometime later.

Who says being an artist is easy.

2008-06-17T03:04:00.000-07:00

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.

Thank you

couple paintings

2007-02-14T01:30:00.000-08:00

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.

Robot (Process learned from Scot Drake www.scotdrake.com)

2007-02-01T18:58:00.000-08:00

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

Shape

2007-02-01T18:54:00.000-08:00

Start your Robot by creating a rough shape. Then clean it up so you can use it for you line drawing.

Lines are your friend

2007-02-01T18:51:00.000-08:00

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.

Ground with shadow

2007-02-01T18:48:00.000-08:00

Pretty simple make a ground and a shadow to corespond with the Robot. I am sure mine is not correct. What every who cares anyway just as long as it looks like a shadow that in perspective.

Primary Light

2007-02-01T18:42:00.001-08:00

This will be the brightest light on our Robot. Make sure to make a palette first not to technical but a clear value breakdown such as: Specular Value, Primary Value, Core Shadow Value, Reflective Rim light. What ever you like to call it.

Just make your palette, because we will be using it in these next steps.

Secondary Light

2007-02-01T18:39:00.000-08:00

Now this light will be my cool light, go ahead and pick your value from your digital palette.

Bounce Light

2007-02-01T18:33:00.000-08:00

Bounce light is very important. I chose to do it early because I don't care to much about being technical. If you want to be technical then you better wait until all the colors are added that way you can color pick from nearby surfaces and influence one another. Or if you want to get even more technical just become a 3d-artist; there cool.

Ambient light

2007-02-01T18:29:00.000-08:00

Then add your ambient light which is your global light color mine is going to be blue/purple but for now just stick with neutrals.

Warm and Cool

2007-02-01T18:25:00.000-08:00

Now you don't always have to use warm and cool light I just felt it would make this image more interesting. You can add color to each light layer by using Hue and Saturation then click on colorize make it easy to edit.

Local Color

2007-02-01T18:19:00.000-08:00

If your values are right then your color will look ok. Scot Drake said something to that effect. I beleive that I saw a painting by Craig Mullin using arbitrary color in one of his concepts for Peter Pan.

Anyway... Moving on.

Specs and glows

2007-02-01T18:18:00.001-08:00

Specular highlight really should have gone on earlier please forgive me. Every great robot has got to have a glow some where so: let it glow, let it glow, let it glow.

Reflections

2007-02-01T18:15:00.000-08:00

just put them on there try to be as accurate as possible but don't waist your life trying to get it perfect. most of the time people don't care enough about your work to even try to challenge you in your knowledge of reflections.

Texture

2007-02-01T18:06:00.000-08:00

Textures are cool so put some on there...it always gives your image a deeper dynamic.

Special Effects

2007-02-01T18:02:00.000-08:00

I feel that the special effects should come last; it would be just too cool tooo soooon, damnit! I just dropped speghetti sauce on my wacom.

See ya later

Sincerely

J.D.Turley

Paintings

2007-02-01T17:41:00.000-08:00

These are my most recent paintings. I like most of them.

Color Sketches

2007-02-01T17:34:00.000-08:00

Just quicky nickys

"Don't Matter If It's Black'n'White"

2007-02-01T17:21:00.000-08:00

I like black and white sketches so I try to do one here and there. Every time I create one I get a better understanding of composing values. I know I still have more to learn so expect to see lots more. I thought about posting my bad sketches... still thinking.

The Swarm

2006-11-08T02:42:00.000-08:00

This peice is inspired by my father. We love old cheeezy films; especially the ones that have the giant killer bugs or giant man eating lizards. I love Godzilla. Perhaps my next one will be inspired by the spinning turtle.

Hamlet

2006-11-07T20:02:00.000-08:00

This image is my take on Shakespeare's "Hamlet" in this scene Hamlet has found out the information from his Fathers ghost precisely how he was murdered and who did it.

Color comps

2006-11-07T18:58:00.000-08:00

Just some color comps from the story of Hamlet I am illustrating.
