Err.... Been a while...

2011-10-24T22:33:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been really busy with work this past year.
Here are some paintings I managed to do in 2011... not nearly enough.

The middle Laguna Beach ones were done in Mike Hernandez's fantastic Workshop.

CDA Landscape Class Demos

2011-01-02T11:56:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!

Here are some of the demos and in-class paintings I did for the Landscape Class in Fall'10.

The last assignment for the class involves a Concept Environment piece. This was the demo to show the class how to integrate what we learn outdoors to our concept work.

Hope you can join me in Spring! CDA schedule is out!

Dragon Flame Steps

2010-12-01T00:45:00.000-08:00

Ah, as requested and promised, here are some steps from the Dragon image.

1. Actually had the image in my mind first, so I simply put down what's in my head. I blocked in the shapes with very basic flat colors... Sky is Blue! Fire, Red! Grass, Green! All those Art Classes really paid off!

2. Filled in the rest of the image and started to add more lighting info. Also noticed a rhythm going on, and decided to reinforce that idea (indicated by red lines). The Verticals (people on horses) could contrast the Curves of the Dragon and Flames, reinforcing the story's Conflict.

3. From here on out it just became a matter of defining the forms and making sure the shapes actually read as the things I want to convey. Fixing silhouettes, proportions, gestures, etc. Decided on a Brown-ish Dragon because everyone knows Blue Dragons don't exist.

4. Looked at horses, indicating planes, rendering out different materials such as cloth, metal, skin, etc. Dropped in a photo of some random hills in the back. Got to keep in mind the scale of things. Making sure there is enough texture detail to describe how big something is.

5. A few Power Naps later, the image is done! Added Crispy Fried People in the flames for kicks and giggles. Pretended to shoot arrows from my desk to see how the archer should be drawn. Nothing much to speak of in terms of actual Creature Design, but I got to paint a Dragon so I'm a happy manchild.

I don't approach every image I do the same way. Sometimes I can see the image in my mind, and I simply draw it. Other times I have to search and search. Other times its more structured. I'm sure you do the same things.

Honestly for the Fantasy images 1 post down, they each started differently. I'd be bored if I have to do paintings the same way each time.

Shameless Promotional Plug:
A more structured look and tutorial on my painting process can be found in BATTLEMiLK 2. Available everywhere DSP books are sold! Hahahahaha. You can check out my friends' art and tutorials too! Probably learn more from them.

Can't cover everything here on the blog, but I teach a Landscape Painting Class at CDA in Pasadena. Its Landscape Painting for Entertainment, so we do Entertainment work in the class as well. Come join me in Spring!

Jackson, out!

Fantasy Dump

2010-10-14T21:33:00.000-07:00

Been reading "Game of Thrones" and my mind is filled with Dragons and Knights and Witches...

NEEERRRD! Oh wait... that's me.. I... yea...

Nothing specific to the books, but just really inspired by what I'm reading.

HBO series next year!
(Please forgive the re-posted image, part of a series!)

The Burden...

2010-09-29T23:17:00.000-07:00

I read online that the first draft of Batman 3 is done?

I VERY EXCITE!

Batman is too fun to paint...

Landscape Painting Class Fall 2010

2010-09-06T17:10:00.000-07:00

Hey Folks,

Its Fall and its time for landscape painting again. I'll be teaching the class at CDA on Sundays.

The Class is going to be slightly modified from the last time I taught it. There's going to be an emphasis on creating convincing colors out of your head off-site as well. This should help students apply color theory to their entertainment work.

Hope you can join me!

*Added some new pieces done over the weekend...

BM2 Signing and LIVE painting at Nucleus

2010-08-15T22:35:00.000-07:00

BATTLEMiLK2 @ Comicon 2010

2010-07-15T18:04:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone!
Just wanted to let you know that BATTLEMiLK2 will be at Comicon next week. Check out the BATTLEMiLK website for sneak peeks and updates.

BATTLEMiLK 2

2010-06-07T20:45:00.000-07:00

BATTLEMiLK 2 is almost here!

This is the reason for the general lack of Blog updates earlier this year. My friends and I have been busy working on this book for... what is it now... 2 years?

This time around, we've added Le Tang and David Le Merrer to the original 4 BATTLEMiLK artists.

Copies should be available at the Design Studio Press Booth come Comicon this July, and everywhere else where DSP books are sold.

I'll post some images from my section soon...Thanks for checking it out!

CS5 & Red Dead

2010-05-30T12:57:00.000-07:00

If anyone were to ask you how awesome Red Dead Redemption is, the only appropriate response is: "It is perhaps too awesome, ma'am."

Also, finally onto CS5... Trying the new mixer brushes. What will Painter do now?!

Sci-Fi!

2010-04-27T12:13:00.000-07:00

I hardly post anything Sci-Fi here... due to my day job being The Clone Wars for the last 2 years. Now that I'm out and about, its time to do some personal sci-fi work.

A lot of influences here... Star Trek, Mass Effect 2, Moon... even Star Tours!
Space, the final frontier! And all that good stuff...

Erik Tiemens Workshop

2010-04-20T22:36:00.000-07:00

Erik came down to LA last weekend for a workshop at CDA.
Had a great time painting in the hazy So-Cal sun.

That's Rodney painting in oils.

Landscape Class Demos

2010-04-12T14:30:00.001-07:00

These are some of the on location Demos I did this term.
Mostly I take around an hour in the beginning of class to show the students my process and or do a lecture...

Black & White, Limited Palette and towards the end, Full Color Palette.

Oh, and for those of you who may be enrolling in classes at Gnomon next term, just want to let you know that I will NOT be teaching the Environment Class . I know the schedule has my name on it... but that was a misprint... Sorry!

Also, no Landscape Class from me in the summer... too hot... will return in the Fall.

BATTLEMiLK2 is almost done! More info soon-ish...

Landscapezzzzzzzz...

2010-01-06T12:41:00.001-08:00

Happy New Year Everybody!

Being a freelance artist has afforded me a lot more time to go landscape painting... and I really enjoy being outside as opposed to warming my hands on my Cintiq this winter...

I'm teaching a Landscape Painting Class at CDA in Spring, so I've been scouting locations and preparing my lesson plan. The class will be held in the tradition of the amazing Landscape Classes I took with Mike Hernandez and Robh Ruppel.

Thanks to them and other amazing teachers, I have cultivated a lifetime pursuit.

I hope to do these teachers justice with my class...

Back in LA

2009-10-26T11:15:00.000-07:00

Back in Sunny Southern California... Had an awesome time painting with Bill on Saturday. I knew I came back for a reason!

Moving

2009-09-26T17:42:00.001-07:00

Gonna be leaving the Bay Area soon... Wonder when I will be back?
It's been really fun.

Mendocino Workshop

2009-09-16T10:30:00.000-07:00

Was lucky enough to attend Erik's Workshop over the weekend. The weather was stormy... so we did more in-studio work. Worth the drive for sure!

jacksonsze.com

2009-08-09T22:45:00.000-07:00

Finally got my website going. You might even see some stuff not already on the blog!

Thanks to Stephen for all his help.

For the bottom image... I mixed in elements from Zelda, Shadow of Colossus, Mouse Guard and a bunch of other stuff... haha. If only I added some Totoros in there too...Hope it mixed well.

HIBM

2009-07-11T23:09:00.000-07:00

Hey people,

I usually don't do non-art related posts... but here's my meager contribution to helping out an old colleague and his fiancee.

DOLLAR CAMPAIGN

One minute, one dollar, pass it on.
www.hibm.org

You can make a REAL difference with very LITTLE money and very LITTLE time. We're asking for two things: give $1 and pass this email to people you know. We're trying to raise $1,000,000 in 3 months to enable human therapeutic trials to fight HIBM, a debilitating disease. We're asking for two things:

First, go to WEBSITE (www.hibm.org) to donate $1. Second, send this email on to all your friends and family.

In the Internet age, reaching one million people in that amount of time is surely do-able. If you are interested in becoming a bigger influence in this campaign, host your own dollar collecting campaign in your community, church, workplace, among your friends and family and donate what you've collected as one donation.

HIBM (Hereditary Inclusion Body Myopathy) is a progressive and debilitating muscle-wasting disorder caused by a gene defect. It touches those between the ages of 20 and 40 and, although progression is slow, it typically leads to total disability within 10-15 years. Studies suggest that HIBM may be easier to cure than many other disorders or diseases, the only limiting factor is funds.

Many thanks for the read... new art coming soon!

- Jackson

Daily Exercises

2009-06-15T23:02:00.001-07:00

Been trying to sharpen the rusty old blade lately...

When in doubt, paint Totoros.

Osaka...Kyoto...Tokyo

2009-04-14T23:31:00.000-07:00

A horribly inaccurate sketch of Osaka Castle... I took out the modern looking elevator sitting in front of it.

A random house in Kyoto...

Quicksketch on the corner of the Tsukiji Market in Tokyo...
Really fresh Sushi!

Lunch Sketch

2009-03-08T17:43:00.001-07:00

Hiked up the hills during lunch with Randy and Sergio for a quick paint.
The recent rains have made the ground really soggy... though the dramatic rain clouds are awesome to paint.

More Practice

2009-02-05T22:07:00.000-08:00

I've been attending some awesome workshops at Concept Design Academy last year... really should try to apply more of what I've learned.

Oh, and just in case you forgot how amazing these guys are... Kevin, Khang, Erik...

Late Night Study

2009-02-04T00:51:00.000-08:00

All the while looking at Mr. Mullins' stuff of course...

New Year

2009-01-13T22:38:00.001-08:00

I've been working really hard on new images for the next book, and hadn't had time to do extra stuff for the blog... Hopefully I'll have something concrete to announce soon.

Meanwhile, here's two images from BattleMilk...

Here's to wishing everyone a great 2009!

View at Work

2008-12-02T20:08:00.000-08:00

Doesn't really feel like Christmas here... but I'm not complaining...
Everyone have a safe holiday!

Yosemite

2008-10-14T23:05:00.001-07:00

Whew, an update finally! I managed to go to Yosemite for the first time last week. Its so epic there its a little unreal. Like my good friend Chris says, its like walking into a matte painting...

This was the last piece I did before I left Yosemite. Bees like to stop on my fingers...

Thanks to uber painter Stephen for organizing the trip, and I got to meet the incredible Ignat too.

This was done early morning near the camp grounds... it was so cold. Trying to get into purer watercolor technique with this one... too bad I only planned out the light shapes in the mountain... totally forgot to reserve the lights when I got to the trees.. haha.

After hiking up 1000ft. from Happy Isles, we managed to reach the top of Vernal Falls. Skies were overcast when I painted this. It started snowing just after we descended. Weather reports are so unreliable...

Did this one on the last morning I was there. All the compositions look the same no? Haha... figured I should paint mountains since I was at Yosemite.

I've been really busy working on BATTLE MiLK 2 for next year! Too bad I can't post any images of that yet. It's almost impossible for me to find time to work on that, and Blog stuff besides my regular day job... hopefully I'll have more landscape paintings to post in the future...

Provocative Rodents

2008-07-28T23:32:00.001-07:00

Whew, Comicon is over...

Thanks to everyone for their support of BATTLE MiLk!
It was great seeing old friends and making new ones. Sorry if I didn't have much time to chat, turns out selling stuff at Comicon is much more hectic than I imagined.

So this is a piece from BATTLE MiLK, if you didn't get a chance to go to the Con, you can still order yours at www.battlemilk.com, Stuart Ng books or pick up signed copies at Nucleus. More retailers will be carrying the book in the future too.

Hmm.. now.. maybe its time to start working on new stuff...

BATTLE MiLK

2008-07-13T16:58:00.001-07:00

Our book is finally here!
Hope you guys will like it.

"BATTLE MiLK" is a collaboration between 4 Concept Designers at Lucasfilm Animation.

My partners in crime include the Kilian Plunkett, Wayne Lo, and Thang Le.

The new paintings for this book have not been posted on this blog. If you happen to be by our booth (1329) at Comicon, please drop by and say hi!

The booth is actually called "Abismo/Nerve Bomb" but the Lucasfilm Animation gang will be there.

Thanks mucho.

Check out our website for some early reviews of our book!

Thanks again, and see you guys in San Diego!

Totoro Forest Project

2008-07-10T22:29:00.000-07:00

A few months ago I was fortunate enough to be invited to contribute to a charity show organized by Dice Tsutsumi.

It was an event to help save Sayama Forest, the same forest which inspired Hayao Miyazaki to create Totoro!

Dice did an amazing job organizing this event with hundreds of artists around the world... check it out here and help save the Totoro Forest!

http://totoroforestproject.org/

Thanks!

Oh and here's my entry... 9x12 Watercolor and Gouache piece...

Surf's Up

2008-07-06T23:59:00.000-07:00

Finally saw "Surf's Up" on dvd this weekend...
What an awesome movie.

Here's my quick homage to the Big Z and the super sweet designs done on that feature.

Giant Frog

2008-06-25T23:39:00.001-07:00

Because no one ever asks for it, here's a giant frog playing chess...

Our book is off to the Presses! Solid Comicon info cometh forth sooneth!

Happy Thoughts

2008-06-03T00:53:00.000-07:00

Reading Erik Martin's comment from the last post made me realize I do indeed do a lot of moody pieces...

So... just to show people out there I'm actually a really happy person, I did this tonight.
Lots of influence from Miyazaki, Kinman and Super Mario Galaxy (which I finally beat last night! The game, not Kinman...)

Comicon book stuff is done! Off to the presses soon I hope....

8:45pm

2008-05-18T22:50:00.000-07:00

The impression I got when I drove home on the Bay Bridge tonight.
(Right before the Toll Plaza)
SF has such strange weather patterns...

Warm Up

2008-04-23T22:25:00.000-07:00

A morning warm up that got a little bit more involved.

Sorry about the lack of posts lately. My colleagues and I are trying to put a book together for Comicon... I've been working on new pieces for that.

More updates soon.

Gouache Landscape

2008-03-22T10:01:00.001-07:00

If you haven't done so already, make sure you check out Erik Tiemens' awesome gouache demo on his blog. Really inspiring...

I was super pumped to paint after watching his demo... and here is my attempt.
Erik makes it look too easy...

Junkyard

2008-01-27T11:41:00.000-08:00

Random image for the new year... the year is still relatively new right?

Here's to wishing everyone a productive 2008!

Paint Sketch

2007-12-06T23:35:00.001-08:00

Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to attend a presentation of Dinotopia by the incredible Mr. James Gurney.

Wow.. such skill, passion, and dedication.. Amazing...

So inspiring was his work he got me to not watch tv tonight and paint something!
Cant decide who lives here... maybe dinosaurs... but I can't draw dinosaurs...

Merry Xmas everyone!

DS Painting

2007-11-05T23:32:00.000-08:00

Ok ok, is it too late to jump onto the DS Painting bandwagon?!
Just got all the parts today and had to do a test run.

This is too fun.

Like Benjamin P. said, switching up media can help fuel inspiration.
Can't wait to take this baby out and do some actual DS Plein air...

Distractions and Inspirations

2007-10-31T00:02:00.000-07:00

Sorry about the lack of updates.
Been having a hard time finding inspiration.

I must have a dozen or so "starts" of pieces that didn't interest me beyond the thumbnail phase. That, and the Fall TV season started! Wahaha.. what happened to Heroes?!

Thanks to Will for getting on my case about not posting! Finally made me sit down and paint something on Sunday.. Haha.

Painting Therapy

2007-09-03T00:28:00.000-07:00

Was feeling kinda bummed out a couple of weeks ago.
I actually felt better after doing some landscape painting... how dorky is that!

Top one was done at work and the bottom one is from Fort Baker.
SF air is so clean everything looks blue and contrasty... sometimes things are so sharp and in focus me eyes hurt...

Ayala and the DreamCatchers III

2007-08-23T00:03:00.000-07:00

And so the DreamCatcher set off on his hunt...

Sorry people, long time no blog. Super lazy lately...
Been practicing that whole "abstract staring contest thing" with Kinman.

Lake Anza

2007-07-18T01:10:00.000-07:00

The fog rolled in just as I sat down to paint...
Then it got so cold we had to leave pretty quickly.

Ayala and the Dreamcatchers, II

2007-06-15T00:14:00.001-07:00

I have bits and pieces of this story in my head.
The story grows from scenes I want to paint... that's probably not the right way to go about creating stories... but I just wanna paint some fun visuals.
Fun for me anyways...

Parking Lot View at the Wharf

2007-05-28T10:39:00.000-07:00

Done on the roof of the Parking Lot at Pier 39. Forgot to put sunblock, so now half of my right arm is bronzed....

Shinto Priest

2007-05-09T23:46:00.000-07:00

Here is tonight's random sketch.

Who murdered the Priest?

Argh Matey...

2007-05-09T00:42:00.000-07:00

Random Sketch of the night. Started out as abstract blobs on a landscape format...

I should stick with environments.... *sob*

Trying it Out

2007-05-04T00:06:00.000-07:00

Inspired to give Painter another try. I gave up a while ago when it took too long to do what I wanted.

I prefer its color mixing to Photoshop, feels more natural.

Used a lot of brushes with this piece, slightly out of control while painting it.

San Quentin

2007-04-23T00:00:00.000-07:00

So I was heading for Sausalito, but decided to take a random exit right off the San Rafael Bridge and found a Prison!

There's a small stretch of houses facing the bay before you reach the prison. Found a cool spot to paint... I think I was actually on someone's private property when I did this...

Landscape painting is a great way to explore my new surroundings...

Driving Home from Work

2007-04-19T22:54:00.000-07:00

On the Richmond Bridge at around 6:40pm...

Geography is wrong, I'll memorize it better next time...

Trying to memorize color and shapes while driving on wet bridge = major distraction.

4 days of rain coming?! Schweet!

Quick Sketch

2007-04-04T00:32:00.000-07:00

Quickie on Strawberry Hill at the Golden Gate Park.

Gotta go landscape painting more often, rust building up...

Moving...

2007-03-09T00:26:00.000-08:00

Ah, its been too long since the last update. Sorry about that. Lots of stuff going on in my life at the moment...

I got a new gig and will be moving to San Francisco/Bay Area. I'm really looking forward to the new surroundings and working with some of my heroes...

That said, Sparkians, its been a real pleasure working with you guys. Keep pumping out those miracles! Its amazing what you guys are pulling off everyday with that insane schedule!

My friends & foes list is getting a little too long on the right there... so I've organized it according to how much I like the person (Sorry Will, I hate your guts).

Coincidentally, it came out in alphabetical order.

Oh, also, there's another jackson around the art blogs... so I'll be signing comments with me full name from now on.

Finally, I'm trying something new with this piece... pretty loose, I'd say, but super fun to do. I was fortunate enough to visit my friends Khang and Anthony over at Project Offset the other day, and I've been inspired by their talents all over again...

Man, packing sucks....

Paris

2007-01-30T21:46:00.000-08:00

I was really inspired by the architecture in Paris...

Particularly the Notre Dame Cathedral. Painting the crowd was fun, no people brush!

Tired of the Wii

2007-01-21T18:57:00.000-08:00

I have had terrible luck in finding a Wii since its release. This morning was the last time I would waste my time lining up for one. I'm guessing I will have to wait till March or April to find one readily available for purchase...

Anyways, thank you to all the well wishers from last post. I had a great time in Paris and am now addicted to travelling. Next up is Japan I hope!

This started out as a speed painting excercise... Cute furry animals are awesome as long as they don't sing in a movie...

Before I go

2006-12-25T07:14:00.000-08:00

I'll be off to Paris in a few hours...

Till 2007 my friends!

Ayala and the Dreamcatchers

2006-12-17T16:11:00.000-08:00

This was an unscheduled sketch which started as a warm up... decided to finish it with a little bit of story.

More Happy Scenes

2006-12-14T01:23:00.000-08:00

Yay! 1 down and a couple more to go!
Baby Totoros were spotted in the forest earlier...

Happy Holidays

2006-12-03T22:15:00.000-08:00

I must apologize for the criminal lack of updates in November.
Work has been rather hectic lately with some pretty tight deadlines. Besides that, a slew of awesome games just came out in time for Christmas, so quite a bit of my time has been spent.... "researching".

No more excuses... I've got a few WIP pieces that I hope to finish by the end of the year.
Till then, hope the holidays bring you no worries...

Queen Mary

2006-10-01T22:44:00.000-07:00

Overcast day in Long Beach.
Man, ships are hard to paint!

Morning Commute 2

2006-09-22T11:20:00.000-07:00

Trying to remember what I saw on the freeway this morning.

Back to Basics

2006-09-16T16:31:00.000-07:00

6 x 9 Monochrome Studies.
Hmm... Straight-out-of-the-tube Burnt Umber isn't all that dark.

CalTech Cafeteria

2006-09-10T18:36:00.000-07:00

Sunday morning at the beautiful campus.

Autumn Cometh...

2006-09-09T17:31:00.000-07:00

Broke off from the group early and did this at the Cafeteria Lawn.
Robh is at the forefront of a Digital Landscape Revolution!
I feel like a dinosaur with me old gouache and oil sets... :)

Dragons

2006-09-09T00:01:00.000-07:00

I really was just sketching a seascape.... then the Dragons showed up...

Plein Air Sketches

2006-09-04T12:19:00.000-07:00

Lately I've had some free time on my hands... so I get to go out and paint a little.
Its just so hot out, and my fear of the West Nile Virus does hinder my drive to paint somewhat. Looking forward to much nicer weather in the Fall, and autumn colors...

Colossus

2006-08-25T11:50:00.000-07:00

Work's kinda slow lately... time for a quick paint!
Been listening to the Shadow of Colossus Soundtrack...
Here is my re-intepretation of that fantastic game.

Random Images

2006-08-24T18:26:00.000-07:00

And now for something completely random!
Speedies done in a moment's fancy...
Yes I used the word "fancy" in a sentence!
More Exclamation Marks!!!!

Fireflies

2006-08-22T00:52:00.000-07:00

Quickie before bed!
Didn't put in the fireflies till the end... thought the image needed that little bit of punch...

Afternoon Speedy

2006-08-20T15:05:00.000-07:00

Speedy after lunch... maybe too formal no?

Morning Commute

2006-08-18T10:55:00.000-07:00

20min speedy before work...
Stopped at a red light and stared at this spot along Beverly Glen during my morning commute. Can't remember exactly what the sky looked like... The scene was quite contrasty though.. if I remember correctly...

TreeBurst

2006-08-14T22:27:00.000-07:00

Hola Everyone!
I've had this story swirling in my head for some time now. The Adventures of Captain Fishsticks. It's about a girl and her friend exploring the nooks and crannies of an apartment complex like Kowloon Walled City... I have more from this series, will post more!

Waterfall

2006-08-07T23:25:00.000-07:00

Graphic Exprimentation continues...
Also trying to work out some compositional issues.
This was done earlier as part of an island exploration series.
Mo' Island images to come.

Green Mts, Blue Bisons

2006-08-01T10:15:00.000-07:00

Remember those blue cows in Laputa? They were so cool.
I made mine here more Bison-like...
Man, I can paint mountains all day.

Hong Kong

I left Hong Kong when I was 8. I tried to recapture what I felt there... the sounds, the weather, the smell.. .ahh, that sewage smell... If only we have smell-o-vision...

City Block

Another attempt at a more graphic approach.
This one started out as a quickie thumb too.

Travellers in the Snow

I figure I'd post some newer stuff on the blog.
Trying for a more graphic approach to my work lately.

Smoggy City

2006-07-09T09:13:00.000-07:00

Did this last year for a homework assignment in Landscape class with Robh. We went to Chinatown to do some field research. Even had Dim Sum for lunch. Honestly, one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever taken. You get to paint on location with your friends, and have Dim Sum... can't really ask for more.

Don't think I got the take-home part of the assignment quite right. Doesn't look Chinatown-ish. I was more inspired by Sparth's work at that time.

Bunnies

A quick sketch tribute to the great Miyazaki...
Did this after a day of hardcore Sci Fi stuff at work last year...

Scholarship

I did these for a scholarship show at Art Center last year.
Thanks to all my friends and teachers for their help and feedback!

Persephone

Here are a couple of images from The Persephone project. Persephone represents Spring and gets kidnapped by Hades to become his urm, slave...

Dune

Here are a couple of Dune environments I did last year in Robh Ruppel's Vis Dev class. Arrakis and Caladan.
