Treehouse

So I've been working environments this semester.  To date, what I posted last (for the Dream Crit) was all I had completed.  Here are a couple more comps for my personal portfolio based on my ideal treehouse--the one every elementary boy wanted growing up but no dad would allow him to have...

The DreamCrit

I was given an awesome opportunity today:  upon opening the inbox to my gmail account, I received a message, informing me that the following works deemed me worthy of participating in a critique/discussion/lecture at Dream Works Animation Studios.  The discussion will be led by Dream Works artists.  One lucky aspiring visual development artist from each of 4 Cal State schools was chosen to have their work critiqued by development artists working for Dream Works.  (I'm not one of them).  However, I am still extremely excited to be given this opportunity to participate in a panel of artists in an industry that I find quite appealing.  I am definitely looking forward to this! :-)

New Environment!

New Website

Well, the last several days have been pack full of website building to meet my personal deadline of getting a professional website up.  There are still some bugs to work out, however it's a start...and not a bad one at that I think.

The URL is www.brandonsteelestudios.com.  Check it out! :-)

Some digital sketches

Images from my 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea series.

Being fascinated by Jules Verne and early science fiction, I decided to do a series of book plates (interior illustrations) for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.  Here are a few of my paintings.
