James Daviscourt Art

Hey everyone, you've somehow found your way to my tumblr art blog! I'm a character designer in Portland with 4+ years of experience in the animation and game industries, and I'm always up to something! Cheers!

"We never would have upset you if we knew you had super powers."

Dustin fan design!

[jamesdaviscourt]

"...but if there is something out there, I'm going to shoot it in the eye--and blind it!" A little fan design of Lucas for everyone!

[jamesdaviscourt]

"I know you do experiments on kidnapped little kids--" Sketching Hopper and El from Stranger Things!

[jamesdaviscourt]

I hope you're ready for an a*mage*ingly bad pun...

Believe it, a Naruto sketch!

He's going for it! No fear! Another late night sketch in bed!

Having fun playing with Eleven's shapes! She's had such a hard life, poor girl!

[jamesdaviscourt]

A scribbleboard (trademark is mine forever) motion test for our new recruit--with the updated, aged down design! Just a quick and dirty exploration of how her shapes move!

She is my favorite~

An ideation sketch of another one of the Cosmonaut cast. Her design is later updated, and she is aged down to be the spunky new recruit on the team!

I would listen to this old man's stories any day~ Continuing to explore how to approach different lighting challenges for my animation's render style!

A loose ideation sketch of my mustachioed Cosmonaut compatriot! I was also determining how futuristic the show should be.

Another set of study paintings analyzing how the legendary sculptor Kent Melton handles softer and firmer planes in his character maquette of Mitch! These are loose and fast--the sketch layer is left visible and everything!

Also, Paranorman is my favorite Laika movie!

[jamesdaviscourt]

I guess I should post this since I posted the business cards yesterday--this is a lighting test of an early iteration of one of the Cosmonauts cast. So dramatic!

[jamesdaviscourt]

My business cards arrived today! I'll be using these for the next year~

[jamesdaviscourt]

Do you trust the future she tells you of?

A semi creepy sketch before bed!

[jamesdaviscourt]

Huh, there appears to be a door there... they better find out which key fits that lock right quick!

A loose acting practice sketch~

A character render test for my animation

I think he's kind of cute!
