Ye Olde Vampyres

Some b/w work vampyrez for http://www.artorder.blogspot.com/ 's weekly challenge. Haven't done any non-grayscale black and white stuff in a while, kinda tricky to get the hang of again. I've been using some thin horizontal lines to try and get that old printed quality in it. An interesting experiment, but I'm not sure how successful the results are.

Boll Deevil

Done for an art challenge over at ArtOrder . You had to base a creature off of a Boll Weevil, so this fella turned into some lava spewing cave bug. Definitely a fun little project

Silver Golem

Here's an idea I've been kicking around lately, I'm really into creatures with amorphous head shapes right now I guess.

Bromide

A concept sketch I did for http://artorder.blogspot.com/ 's Tuesday Sketch exercise. I feel like I haven't drawn a weird character in a while, so this was pretty fun

Lifeless Forest Update

Been getting a lot of good feedback on this, I'm gonna keep on keepin on for a little bit but I don't wanna get too render-crazy with it...Thanks for looking

lifeless forest update

Lifeless Forest sketch

There's a contest going on at http://cghub.com/ , the theme being 'Denizens of the Lifeless Forest'. I'm quite partial to forests and lifeless monsters and all that stuff, so I figured I'd enter. Any critique is greatly appreciated.

Foggy Mecha Steampunk Iceberg Robot

Messin' around with a drawing my art director Seung Kim did, not sure what it will end up being but it's been fun so far!

DiTerlizzi Dragons

So I saw this the other day, and decided to whip up a dragon- didn't have much time but it was kinda fun, got to tap into my roots of tree bark skin and redundant detail. I'll finish it...sometime...

Sneaky Russians

Well I was originally going to do something for the Hellboy show at Uberbot ( http://www.uberbotonline.com/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=4 ) but time sorta slipped away from me (I'm lazy), so instead my entry turned out to be another lunch hour sketch! This is the Hellboy comic version of Rasputin. He's a pretty cool guy.


I've also come to the realization that my monitor is pretty effed up in terms of gamma and contrast, dunno if anyone could recommend a good one? Thanks-

LUNCH HOUR GOBLIN!!!!

Reactors- ON!

Wowsers it's been a lil' while since I've given an update. I got hired in May at n-Space in Orlando, so I've been doing some concept work there on a couple DS games- it's a lot of fun. I get to draw things that I pretty much draw for fun. It's a trip seeing someone model your drawings, and actually seeing it in-game.

Anyways, these are mostly some fun quickie sketches I've been working on when I get home, I'm trying to give myself some more personal projects to work on. (Continuing my thesis, I guess). I'm planning on taking these (very slowly and lazily) to finishes (eventually).

Wall of Thesis

Well, here it finally is, my senior thesis completed! The Senior Illustration Show last Friday was awesome, I had a lot of fun talking to everyone and getting to see all of my classmate's work. Pretty kickass stuff all around.

A lot of these I've already posted on here, in a finished state or not, but a lot of them I've tried to hold back on posting. I still have a couple I need to resize and put up here, photoshop is being very fickle at the moment...

(Trying to think of a cool name for this) Forest

Environment I (sorta almost) finished today, I think this is my favorite color palette. It's in the same area as the Forest God piece. My idea for this place is a swampy, gooey unnatural mossy creek. For some reason I think moss and lichen are pretty damn cool, so there's gonna be more of that going on in this.

Vineland WIP and meeting a god.

Still working on this one-Trying to transition from lush giant vines to a desert
Can you tell I love Miyazaki?

Order of the Sheathed Wing

Sanguinaire of Vharon

The Walkin' Dude

Can't get to sleep, so might as well post some images...

Last Man Standing + Thesis WIPs

I entered the Last Man Standing competition over at conceptart.org, ( www.lastmanart.com ) and since the deadline is this Saturday I figure I can go ahead and post my entry up. I just have a lil' bit of noodling on it that I've been putting off, like the statue in the background. Oh yeah, the theme is 'Underneath It All'. I'm thinking that people will be going with more serious topics and not something as goofy as this...

My thesis is going to involve a world of my creation and the creatures, people, and locations that make it up. I guess this is a preview of some of the creatures and environments, they're mostly work in progresses.

Golden Compass

Here's an illustration of Lyra, Iorek, and Pantailamon from one of my favorite books, The Golden Compass. I pretty much wanted to get my image of them out of my head before I see the movie. (In the book the compass didn't really have a bright glow like that, but I'm just having fun with it).
