Repair

I knew when I started this piece I wanted to blend a old beat down modern day environment with something a little more high tech.
I started with the warehouse and gave myself a nice little stage for my focal point. I wasn't sure if the focal point was going to be a a vehicle or a robot, but I new I wanted a machine. After I played around a bit I decided a Robot. I really liked the final piece. It has a lot going on, but the focal point works. Enjoy.

Morning Commute

This is the final that I derived from the color sketches below this post. As you can see, it changed quite a bit from the roughs. I always knew I needed to put something in the street but was never really sure what I was going to put.
After I put the elephant in there, it really gave me a better idea of what kind of world it was and it added a lot of interest. I am pretty pleased with the way this piece came out. I may need to visit this world again.

Airship Digital sketch

I remember spending a few hours on this image. I was told to make some kind of airship, and not much else.

quick sketch

Another quick sketch. I think it has a good sense of mood and texture. Little flat, but its some good exploration.

Another vehicle

This is another version of the vehicle below. Totally different feel for this one compared to the one with "teeth"

Big, mean, and it may eat you

This was for a past project. The vehicle was supposed to be menacing. I thought this version really showed that, since well, it looks like it can eat you. And we all know that things that can eat us are a menace for sure.

Originally I was really fighting for a big scale for the vehicle. I wanted something as big as a house that could eat you. This image you see is a bit smaller then what I originally intended.

Jedi

Did this a long while back when I was working on a Star Wars title. It was just a quick sketch, but I liked the simple graphic nature of the drawing.

a walk

This piece was done in a day or two. It feels creepy and lonely and a good sense or foreboding.

Its cold out there

Be sure to to wear a cozy coat and a good side arm. Wanted this guy to have a bit of a cyberpunk eastern European feel to the character.

quick 30 min sketches

These are some quick 30 min sketches I did for a piece. These where more to help me set up mood and general feel of the piece Before I really start. These are a lot of fun and always have a lot of energy in them.

Flee you fool!

This was a fun little story piece I wanted to do. The maniacal smile from the driver of the carriage really helps sell the story.

Evil and creepy

Yes, this is a quick sketch of Skeletor I did a while back. Wanted him to look a little emaciated as if the evil powers in him are eating his body to the core.

Hero

This design was me just me playing around and I feel I got a nice little painting out of my play time. The armor is a little fantasy and bit sci-fi. nice and moody piece.

Spaceport

Welcome to my new blog. This is a pretty new piece. I wanted to really show the grandeur of a ship that is about to leave port. I really liked how the foreground came out in the end. The whole piece was lot of fun to work on. Enjoy
