I'm slacking on postings, but I do have reasons:

After 6 1/2 years at my last job, it came time for me to move on to different pastures. Instead of decompressing during my in between jobs down time, I've been packing and moving all non essential (i.e. clutter) out of the house in preparation for staging and open house viewing. Yes it's not a great time to sell, but it ain't the worse yet either.

Next thing I know, it's time to start my new job at Double Fine Productions, working on this awesome game.

TBC....

The scanned sketches as promised, part II...

Wow, a second post on the same day - that's a record for me. Here's the second idea (unfinished of course) for the Dominance War design entry. It's robotic with biological elements; it has two arms and four legs, with the hind legs providing support in attacks and added speed in chases.

The scanned sketches as promised...

So I'd been working on some sketches for the Dominance War character design entry. Alas, I've missed the deadline, but it gave me a reason to work on something. Here's a creature inspired by "The Thing" except with more bio-mechanical elements.

OK, I haven't scanned any sketches yet like I'd promised...

...because I haven't really sketched anything worth scanning. I blame my mental block, and my lack of drawing practice. The saying is completely true: use it or lose it.

Sketches forthcoming...

Time is warping by...

It's already the middle of March. Holy crap, where did the last 2 months go?

I hate to use the cliche, but I have been very busy with my new website, fredleeportfolio.com.

It's been a long time coming, but I finally have an online portfolio. It's a start, and it will do for now, but the plan is to learn some flash, and some website authoring so that I can do what I really want to do with my online portfolio.

I'm also trying to drag lead on parchment more in between my busy schedule. I'll be scanning some of that onto this blog soon. Really. Soon. For now, I'm changing my blog title. It's quick and manageable.

CYA!

Drawings of old...

Wow - I can't believe it's already 2008 - time is warping by!

In honor of the new year, and also to hide the fact that I haven't been able to create any new drawings for the blog yet, I'll put up some of my older drawings for now. Enjoy!
