Broken Bot

Broken down bot done for the Robot Entertainment art blog over here. (Check out the link if you want to see a bigger writeup on this image). I imagined a mech pilot to be marooned on this planet long enough to fashion a life support unit from his own robot. Other people have come up with their own interpretations though which are always interesting to hear :)

Skinks of Sotek

Lizardmen have always been one of my favorite Warhammer Fantasy races, so this piece was especially nostalgic and fun for me. I recently found a website with a Warhammer card database, it makes me want to learn how to play to see if my cards are actually good ;)

DungeonQuest: Dead Adventurer

I did several cards for DungeonQuest by Fantasy Flight Games, one of them being the Dead Adventurer. I think this piece is when I discovered how much I like to paint rusty metal and scale mail.

CthulhuTech

Here are some character designs I did for CthulhuTech about a year ago that are finally getting released. The monsters are actually a sort of organic mech body armor called a Tager. It was a fun challenge trying to make it seem like a human could fit inside them. These are the upgraded versions of some Tagers that the very talented Trevor Claxton designed. Needless to say, it was a tough act to follow, but very fun.

DnD: Dark Sun Illustrations

These were 3 illustrations I did for the recently released Dark Sun: Creature Catalog, published by Wizards of the Coast. I just got my copy in the mail, and there's a ton of great art in it. The Dark Sun universe is great, it was definitely one of my favorite projects ever! Go pick up your copy at Barnes and Noble or wherever fine creature compendiums are sold.

"Floating Mantle"
A poisonous floating jellyfish monster that can spew out tiny sting babies

"Z'Tal Gathering"
Think the beginning of Jurassic Park II

"Crystal Spider"
A spider made out of crystal

Nightgaunt

The Nightgaunt is another one of the creatures I did for the Talisman: Highland expansion for Fantasy Flight Games. I just got sent my copy of the game, it looks great! It's a really cool feeling seeing your stuff in print, it was neat seeing how the images tighten up.

Cloud Dragon

Cloud Dragon card illustration done for the Talisman: Highland board game for FFG. Mo' dragons mo' problems.

L5R Undead Chuda

It's nice that some of my NDAs are lifting and I can finally post some of the art I've been doing. Here is an evil Japanese Liche done for the Plague Wars cycle of Legend of Five Rings cards.

Windlasher

The Windlasher is another monster card I did for Talisman: Highlands. He's a giant evil vulture who can create powerful storms with his wings. Not really something you want to run into when you're hanging off the edge of a cliff.

Talisman: The Highland -Mountain Dragon

Just saw this image in the Talisman rulebook the other day, so I figured I could release it. This is one of a few creatures I did for the Talisman: Highland expansion for Fantasy Flight Games (check it out here ). They pretty much gave me free rein on the design, which ended up being a ton of fun. Hopefully I'll be able to post the other monsters soon. Until then, enjoy-

The Last Unicorn

I went ahead and finished up this piece for the Robot Entertainment art blog located here. The theme this time around was 'Fantasy' which was right up my alley. I felt like just having a tiny figure in the image was too cliche or something...so I ended up with a symbol of purity and good about to get eaten. Enjoy-

Lindworm WIP

Saw How to Train Your Dragon last weekend (great flick btw) and got pretty inspired. It's easy to forget how fun it is to just sit back and render the hell out of a goofy looking dragon. I'm still not sure where I want this piece to go or what it will look like painted up though.

ArtOrder Calendar

Just posting to let ya know that I'm fortunate enough to be in the ArtOrder Calendar featuring my forest painting. I'm alongside some other great artists such as Aaron Miller, Anna Christenson, Dominick Saponaro, Eric Braddock, Garrett Hanna, Lu Vazquez, McLean Kendree, Sabin Boykinov, Tiziano Baracchi, Tobias Kwan, Tyler Jacobson, and William O'Connor. Go buy yourself one, they're going quick!
