Kind of old...

I made this as part of a gift to my girlfriend last Christmas. It was heavily inspired by the work of artist Andrew Jones. Anyway I thought I'd post it up since I have nothing new to show.

Random Sketches...

Just some random doodles.

I did this one while waiting for "The Dark Knight" to begin (amazing movie btw).


I did this last night, while sketching my cat Myu jumped up on my leg. He was so engrossed with the pencil movement that he actually stood still long enough to sketch.

Something new...

I've been super busy with work and I'm pumping out some really excellent (in my opinion at least) concepts. I did have some time however to work on a logo for my friend and personal trainer Gary.

His fitness group is called Ronin Fitness and it's pretty kick ass!

If you live in the bay area and are looking for a kick ass work out routine I highly recommend them.

Ronin Fitness

Ok well hopefully I will have some new personal stuff to show soon.

Blah!!!

Man! It is so frustrating to have a great idea (at least to me) and then the execution just falls so flat. sigh. Oh well maybe if I do about 10,000 or so more of these I will suck less....

This was inspired by an idea my brother Mike told me long ago about hills where giants were buried. I imagined that ancient peoples would see this hills and imagine giants underneath.

Holy Calamity!

Scream Insanity! Two NEW art posts in as many days? Surely a sign of the coming apocalypse.

I may just start a series of castles and temples. It's been pretty fun, but those who know me know I never finish and projects. :) I'll just take it piece by piece...


This is my thumbnail sketch...


And the finished piece...




Also, I am SO stoked that Obama won the Democratic nomination!!! WOOT!

NEW ART! For reals!

So I finally threw the gauntlet down and created some non work related 2d art.

A homage to one of my favorite games ICO.... in spirit only I just wanted to paint a castle scene at sunset.

The Castle of Auvers:

Junk!

Because I don't create any new art (non professional that is) I thought I'd put up some stuff that didn't make it into Battle of the Bands.


This was a quick pre-vis model I did to establish mood and scale for a Train Graveyard level (one day I will work on a game that has one!) based on one of my concepts.



Before we came up with the insane asylum idea for the goth band we were going to go with the tried and true gothic cathedral idea. The model never made it past this point in the process, but I was pretty happy with how it was progressing.

Due to time constrictions I "kit bashed" (i.e. stole from) an old model I had made that had some gothic windows. I was actually able to salvage some of this model though and use it in Hongs Castle Ballroom.
