Conan Remake

2011-05-10T01:14:00.000-07:00

Here's one of three screencap paintings I did on a flight home. Took about 40 minutes. Quick for me. Hope the new Conan film is even slightly good.

caveman banner

2011-01-20T22:41:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since an update. I'm a crap blogger. I did this as a promo image for the company. He's the hero from one of our in developement titles. Basically, a badass, surly caveman that lays waste to everything in his path. Good times.

Dino-Riders Redux

2010-03-25T13:42:00.000-07:00

Remember the 80's cartoon Dino-Riders? Here's the first of several Dino-Riders redesigns. I'll be posting some isometric armor details next. Dinosaurs, laser guns, under alien control. How can you go wrong with that?

Sinbad Cover

2010-01-26T15:23:00.000-08:00

Update. The Sinbad comic book w/ text. I think he did a great job with the fonts. He'll be selling the books with many others too at Wonder Con.

Environments

2010-01-24T13:16:00.000-08:00

Here some WIP sci-fi environments. The light sources and some of the forms and details are a bit vague, so a bit more work is needed.

Savage Valley-Pre Vis.

2009-06-29T23:03:00.000-07:00

This is some stuff from a short comic book story I've been working on. Just trying to figure out the look of the environment and characters. Man, do I love thumbnails.

Red Cape & Rockets-Pre Vis.

2009-06-29T22:58:00.000-07:00

Some assorted pieces for the red cape story. New & old.

Witchdoctor

2009-05-11T02:04:00.000-07:00

This started as a quickie sketch and naturally got out of control. Not sure how finished I'll go w/ it, needs some more work here and there. Good fun.

He only keeps his favorites

2009-02-23T00:46:00.000-08:00

Here's my entry for the Spectrum annual. The zombie hunter.

Screencaps, good fun

2009-02-23T00:43:00.000-08:00

Fun w/ screencaps. No tracing, straight painting. Just some color picking on the Joker.

"Captain Fancy-pants"

2008-12-09T13:05:00.000-08:00

Speed painting w/ some homemade brushes, just like grandma used to make. And though you can't see um', the pants......they're fancy.

Zeus Pt. 2

2008-12-04T02:13:00.000-08:00

Oooooh dramatic. Ok, the consensus was the last version was looking a bit too "Angry Santa". I couldn't agree more. So here's the new and improved moody Zeus. Thanks to my visual development class for comments. This works much better. Wouldn't want to mess with him now.

Zeus

2008-12-04T01:52:00.000-08:00

Had Greek Mythology on the Brain lately. So here is a quick demo I did for a visual development class. This is day light scene Zeus, complete with a big ol' nose. Good fun.

Hot Air Village

2008-09-03T22:50:00.000-07:00

Here is both the tight drawing and the finished layout. The thumbnail is MIA. This is just another environment that ties into my rocket kid story.

Shadow Over Innsmouth

2008-09-03T22:45:00.000-07:00

This is just a quicky colored thumbnail. Shadow Over Innsmouth is probably my favorite H P Lovecraft story. And his writing style is so creepily descriptive. Awesome stuff on a dark , lonely night.

Hiatus?

2008-07-10T19:43:00.000-07:00

Not really a hiatus. I just dropped off posting on this blog for awhile but, excuses, excuses, blah, blah, blah. I'm back for good.

So here is a little speed painting with some custom brushes courtesy of David Levy. Very cool of him to offer the brushes he created. The idea behind this little diddy is a planet that is nothing more than a giant scrap heap. Hope ya likes.

"Catch of the Day"

2007-04-22T23:28:00.000-07:00

This piece was my entry for Spectrum 14, which will be out in Nov. I thank the Lord for it getting in. I had a blast working on it. I love the big monster stuff. I wanted to capture a moment of tension between the huge river monster and the fisherman right as they surprised each other. How will it all end for these two? A passive stale-mate or rip roarin' violence? You decide=)

Catch of the Day- character

2007-04-22T23:23:00.000-07:00

Her is the charater design from the above illustration "Catch of the Day". He is truly my one badass hero character. If there's a job to be done, he'll do it. In the illustration you only get a back view, so here's a shot from the front. I'll continue with some pieces staring the village fisherman.

APE!

2007-04-22T23:15:00.000-07:00

Hey all. APE has come and gone. Many thanks to all of you for coming by and checking out our work. My friends and I had a great time meeting and greeting everyone. And I was really surprised at the response to Red Cape & Rockets. Seeing as it was a simple mini preview of the book. Really cool though. Met some cool people, saw a lot of great artist's work's, made some great contacts. Can't ask for more. Cheers.

Red Cape charater designs

2007-04-22T23:04:00.000-07:00

The character sheets for the Rocket boy and his arch nemesis for the Red Cape story. The rocket villian is more of a henchman for a far more diabolical character. He's basically my Boba Fett. Hope you enjoy.

More charater designs

2007-04-22T22:56:00.000-07:00

Here are a few random ones. 4 Arms is a spindley, putrid creature. Was it once a human? Or was he always like this? Who knows. Rustbucket is my robot character glimpse shortly in the Red Cape & Rockets comic. I intend to do a comic for him also.

Beowulf

2007-04-22T22:47:00.000-07:00

Hey all just doing some character designs. Here's Beowulf from norse mythology. I picture him as a ramblin' loner. Kind of disheveled. Look for Grendal coming soon

The Falseprophet

2007-03-09T12:40:00.000-08:00

The idea behind this is an anti-christ like character coming into various lands and enslaving the people for his own diabolical needs. Me trying to being melodramatic.

Red Cape & Rockets

2007-03-02T10:50:00.000-08:00

This piece was published in Spectrum 13. The image is the cover to a comic I'm doing for the APE conference. Hope you enjoy. Cheers.
