Bishop Sketch

So this is one of many ideas I had for the Assassin's Creed project that I am doing with Mike. Throughout the series, there are always figures of high social class, which includes the church. I hope to create some more character designs, as well as some landscape/cityscapes for this series. Enjoy!

Simba, but not really

Thought I try a digital work with a "still life" in it so I had this big stuff lion that I won somewhere, so I thought I try that. This idea was inspired by a work done by Mike Sekowski that he did of his dog. So I thought i'd put a little quotation on that. Enjoy!

New Photos on Photography Site!

I just finished updating/uploading a new batch of photos to my photography site! the link is on the side, or just click here. Enjoy!

New Photography Site!!!

Hey Everyone,

So over the past week i've been creating a new site to exclusively show my digital photography. I wanted to have a site that looked more professional, so I thought i'd give it a try and see how it goes. I still will be posting some photos here, but the majority of my photography work will got to this new site. Here's the link

www.wix.com/joelmw/photography

I know its not my own site (like joel.com or something), but I feel like its a good start. Anyways, enjoy!

GIMPin' it up

So after looking at some amazing painting tutorials on Youtube, I came across a program that many of these digital aritsts use. Since i'm JUST getting into digital painting, I never heard of GIMP till this morning. For me, its like a Photoshop and Painter hybrid. After doing this sketch, I found the experience to be quite enjoyable. Oh and its free! And thats always good.

Shots of Milne Park

Above is some shots that I took of a park near my house. I was lucky enough to have my more powerful lens with me, ergo I was able to take better shots of the birds (always wanted to use "ergo" in a sentence lol). I hope to shot more shots of this park someday, hopefully with models or something. Enjoy!

Reworking the past

So I was looking at some old art I did and I came across a drawing that I did (in like Gr. 2) of this woman who was standing in a cemetary before a sea of tombstones (I think it was suppose to be Flander's field). I kinda liked the picture, but instead of showcasing this figure mourning, I thought I'd show the figure on his/her own path of such... and for some reason it came out to be an earthy tone path lol. Also, I think I developed an interest in the pencil crayon "brush" in Painter. Anyways, Enjoy!

Mmmm Cake...

... well its made of towels lol. Arrangement done by Barbara Harding. Enjoy!

Something out of the dark

So I know I havent posted a digital work in a while, so I thought of showing this. This is just one of many sketches that I am doing for a project that I am embarking on with my buddy Mike Sekowski (who is a very talented concept artist I may add. Check him out in the "Links" section of my blog). So we were going to do something centered around a game that we both like, and judging by this image, you can probably take an educated guess as to what game it is. I'm hoping to do a whole lot more works that are centered around this project, and maybe even come up with a storyline...will see. Enjoy!

In Bloom

My mom wanted me to take some photos of our blooming orchid to send to one of her friends so I thought, what the hay, just post it here too. Enjoy!
