Robot Admiral

I always think that I would like to get into doing some proper comic pages. Nothing crazy just a short tale here and there. I think some sort of gritty sci-fi Civil War could be some cool fodder for stories. And something with cowboys...oh ya and vikings.....hmmm demons would be cool too.....

Sketch Dump

A bunch of new sketches, trying to draw in a style that feels more relaxed and natural. I feel really good not trying to work in a more realist style that often feels not very fun.

live every week like it's shark week

A funny quote from one of my favorite shows, 30 Rock. I thought it would make for a funny tattoo.

Illustration in Ol' Skool Rodz

I have an illustration of Ed Roth in the May issue of Ol' Skool Rodz. Its my favorite magazine so I am pretty thrilled about it. Now its not what I would call a "feature", in fact you may have to squint really hard to make it out. ;)

Heavy Armor Reloaded

This is a rework of an older illustration that I did. I have a couple in the bank that I really liked the idea but because of my skill level at the time, I felt that I didn't hit the mark. It was fun and I plan on doing it with some others that I did, hopefully it will help me to see where and how that I have progressed.

Those Orcs are wasted

This is my first illustration of 2012. I am again trying to emulate a WOW aesthetic. It took me a long time to bang this one out with working full time and going to school full time as well. I have moved into a producer role at work so this time spent creating art at home feels even more special to me now.

World Of Warcraft style Warlock

In an attempt to work in color more I thought what better style to try and tackle then the one found in the World Of Warcraft universe. It was alot of fun to paint.

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth

I am a huge fan of hot rods, rat rods and the whole Kustom Kulture thang. I wanted to do something that was colorful and a real departure for me.

Bio-Mech T-Rex Revisited

I thought that I could push this image a little further, so I took another crack at it.

Bio-Mechanical Skull Revisit

I got some really good crits on the original image so I decided to take them to heart and try and improve it. I am glad that I did.

Ive been drawing animals as of late when I have a free moment.  I was trying to go for a semi real look with a Wind in the Willows kinda vibe.

Underground Temple

I am planning on doing alot more 2D Environment concepting going forward, Makes sense since my day job has be doing alot of 3D Environment work. This was alot of fun to draw, although because of my busy school & work schedules I felt like it took way too long to complete.

DC Comics Hero: Cyborg

The DC comics relaunch of September has me with DC on the brain.  What started out as an anatomy study ended up as Cyborg.

100 Posts!

I logged into my blogger today to see that my last post was number One Hundred.  I started this blog four years ago as a visual representation of my renewed commitment to raise my drawing skills.  I work primarily as a 3D artist but wanted to eventually branch out into the world of freelance illustration and inform my work at the games studio.  I feel like I have progressed allot but still have a long way to go.

Why So Serious?

I thought it might be funny to sketch a Batman that was all like "Yo, I'm a legend and a Bazillionaire. I date hot babes and get to beat on bad guys while driving a pimped out whip...Why wouldn't I be smiling Bro?".

Sketch: LOTR/Care Bears mashup

Thought it would be funny to recreate that scene from the first LOTR movie but replace Hobbits with Care Bears and replace the Ringwraith with No Heart......Ok I never said it was thaaaaaaaat funny.

Old Man Sketch

My wife bought me a Half tone sketch book and this was my first try at using it.  I really enjoy being able to add all the highlights and sketching on the textured brown paper has a nice classic feel to it.... Two thumbs up for the new sketch book :)

Ramsay Bolton....A Real Jerk

A Song Of Fire and Ice is and amazing fantasy book series and I have been listening A Dance With Dragons at work this week and this is my impression of the Bastard Ramsay Bolton...He is a really sick dude, yet lordly in his own way.

Sky Rider

Holy texture painting Batman...I feel like my loose/tight style I am working on leveled up tonight....plus I managed to paint my wifes likeness without messing it up too bad...which is good for my personal safety. :)

Trying to get my head around a more cartoony style, inspired by all the animated films I love.

Princess Zelda

I made this drawing for our new sketch jam that we are having in the art department at the games studio I work at.  The current topic is the Legend of Zelda, so I decided to make this sketch of Princess Zelda herself.

Metal Album Cover - IGNIGHTOR



This is an album cover that I did for the metal band IGNIGHTOR.  Making art for metal bands is something I have really wanted to add to my freelance roster for quite awhile, and I am really pleased to be starting to get this kind of work now.

Old Man

Mixing one part pencil and one part digital paint and trying to keep the saturation down.  I like how this one turned out.

Man of the Wilds

The man of the wilds is a primitive sort, violent, unruly and apparently quite a fun subject for an lazy afternoon value sketch.

2.5 Lunches = Skull of a Dire Ram

Trying to mix in some life drawing with a little bit-O-Fantasy to it.

Al Swearengen

Al Swearengen is definitely my favorite Deadwood character, and actor Ian McShane has such character in his face...Pretty much perfect subject matter for an artist.
