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!

Loki

Loki, my new kitten, is a couple of months old now. Here's a quick speedpaint collab between me and Erin, about 2-3 hours on this one.

He chills in deep space.

It's that time of year when all the games I've worked on start to get released! Here's a character portrait of Boba Fett I did when I first got to n-Space, done for Stars Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. This was one of those assignments that you never think you'll get to do...it's weird when you sit down to work and your assignment is to paint a badass space bounty hunter from your favorite movies.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 DS

Woo! So MUA2 DS is out now, and I got the go-ahead to post some images. I got to paint Gargan Venom, Green Goblin, and She-Hulk portraits, along with a lot of other characters. Goblins, shark-lookin' bad guys, and green chicks. Good stuff.


P.S.- Everyone go buy Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

Logo

A fun logo I designed for someone. It's not every day that someone wants a demon blade in their logo-I'm not complaining.

Pelican Cannibal

Another goblin sketch done during breaks. Om nom nom

Dragons and websites

My entry for the Earthquake Dragon challenge at www.artorder.blogspot.com . I've already seen some entries popping up and it looks like there's going to be some stiff competition (Fantasy artists like drawing dragons? Who knew?) Mad props to my buddy McLean for some last minute crits on this guy.

In other news, everyone should check out my awesome new website designed by my lovely girlfriend Erin . Lots of new work, clean design, stripes, monsters, the color brown, these are a few of my favorite things. I have also become obsessed with the sharing feature on my google reader...that thing is addictive. Have a great Sunday-

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...
