main characters line work

Here is the line work for the five main characters in our comic! They're just hanging out! These are pretty close to being their final designs. I'll color this up soon.

new loner build

Hello! I have been without a computer for a while now. Here is a quick look at the new build I've decided for the Loner character in our comic. His character is going to see many battles and so it seemed good to beef him up a little bit. Thanks for stopping by!

His old design can be seen here.

comic concept update

Good morning! I'm very sorry for the long delay between posts. Here is some of the conceptual work I've been doing for the comic I'm working on with my brother. Things are moving along! My brother nearly has our first 6 issues roughed out! There is still a lot to do, however! So stay tuned for more updates in the future.

ogre concept tutorial

Hello! I know it has been a long time. I've had a few people request a tutorial to show some of my process. So I put this together this afternoon. If there is anything anyone feels I left out, please feel free to let me know. I hope it is both informative and helpful!

june gamepro cover

Greetings! This is the Gamepro cover from June 2009. I'm just posting it now for no reason other than it's neat to get artwork published! For this image I sculpted all three heads in Zbrush. That was the part I played, lol. Pretty cool though!

dominance war iv

Well hello there! It has been a very long time since my last post and I apologize. But now you get to see what I've been up too!

I've been taking part in an online art contest known as the Dominance War. This is a huge competition with some of the most talented artists I've ever seen! It is a game art contest with both 2d and 3d challenges. Since I am focusing a lot on 2d these days I decided to try my hand.

As part of the 2d challenge I had to create a character based within the Dominance War universe. They gave us a short story and made available to us a list of races and classes to choose from. The big theme this year was demons. So what did I do? I went with the most overdone race and class there ever was. A Human Warlord. Haha!

Here is a link to My Online Thread at CGSociety that holds my progress for these last two months.

The final image did not at all come out like I had originally imagined. I ran into a ton of compositional issues throughout the process and made many compromises along the way. I learned a lot about my process that I can now improve upon. And I was reminded once again to flip the picture often to make sure your composition is strong. I got tunnel vision and forgot to do that with this one. However, in the end, it came out alright and I think the experience was worth it! Enjoy!

rufus

The rufus is an animal that has black fur with blue spots on its legs and arms. Its tail is shaped like a brick which it uses to launch closets. An adult rufus may weigh more than 89 pounds and stand over 100 feet high.

ogre concept

This is a concept painting I did for a friend of mine. It was just suppose to be some big monster guy with armor! It was a lot of fun and I think it came out pretty nice. I was also thinking of selling some prints of this sometime in the future. We'll see!

disney sketches

This past Monday I went with a friend of mine to draw at Disney's Magic Kingdom! I must say, it was great to have company!

radioactive

Run for your lives! The radioactive worm slug thing is attacking! Hah! This is a 3 hour speed painting I did during training at work today!
