Lunch Foot Soldier Sculpt W.I.P.

W.I.P. sculpt I've been working on during lunch.

Because sculpting is fun.

The Drones Are Coming!

The military, Amazon, and Google have them, why not the United States Postal Service?

Drones are going to save the USPS by brute force. All deliveries will be shot out of canisters in the vicinity of their service zone (15 mile radius) where people will scramble through piles of mail in the streets.

A 3d sketch I needed to get out of my system.

Because I like robots

Adding another piece to the arsenal while I'm in this mechanical phase.
Almost there.

A Peak in the Laboratory: Starcraft Turret W.I.P. Renders

Just a peak into the laboratory.

Back to work.

Mission complete.

Back to the Drawing Board: Color Test

Working on some different color styles for an upcoming project.

Digitally Out of Commision

Been quite a while since I've posted something here.
Here are some works that I now have permission to post from an Google Play and ios game I helped develop. The game is called Wizard Ops and it can be found on both the Goggle Play store and the iTunes store.
Here are some early illustrations I did a while back before they were finalized.

Most were changed before added to the games but they're essentially the same. Enjoy!

The cat is still in the bag.

Still finding the energy to knock out the rest of this series. I wanted to take something serious and make it fun so why not a bank robbery.

Return to UNB

This new horse is badass!! Were riding back to UNB headquarters to rally the brigade!
Feels good making babies again, art babies that is. More 3d, 2d, UV's, and UNB on the way :)
Enjoy. Crits and comments welcome as always. Oh and ABC!

Finally back on the saddle!!

I've finally got traces of my mojo coming back after a long 7 months of stagnation. All it took was one spark and now the fire is starting again.

This is a piece I started to help get me out of the creative rut I was in. It's based on a Starcraft turret unit modified a bit for high res specs.

More on the way with extra stank on it!

Meanwhile...Goldeneye 007 is coming

The guys over at IGN have posted some screenshots of the Goldeneye 007 DS game I finished work on. You can check it out here: http://media.ds.ign.com/media/080/080829/imgs_1.htm

If You Build It, They Will Come Pt. 1

I'm building a machine that will bring the people. One that the people can stand behind.

Artistic Masturbation: W.I.P

Bring yo gangsta!

Sometimes its the simple things that will bring you peace, which brings me back to the drawing board. I started this back in April and it has changed considerably. It's still a work in progress but I don't see it changing too much except for the rendering detail, contrast, and maybe a few silhouettes in the background.
Have at it hoss, crits welcome.

W.I.P. It good.

I've been really busy for months with projects I can't post as of yet. I finally stole some free time to work on an illustrated short story I've been writing off and on.
This is the initial sketch of a scene where these ghost attack a squad of gunmen.

Started fleshing out the first warriors costume, etc..

Still playing with the costume and weapons for now. I may add the bone armor back to her costume.

doing it for the kids

These are some of the images I have done for an independent publisher, "Universal Write" a while back.
I was finally given approval to show them off, so here are three images from a children's book called "BumbleBee Longhorn Needle". The story is essentially a coming of age story about a butterfly who is a bully because he is jealous and unhappy.

This book is part of a project where Universal Write publishes students short stories so that they may become published authors early on in heir lives. There are two more books in the series I have done illustration for and once I am given permission I will post some shot from those as well.

Till the next time,

Preparing Lasagna

So yesterday I got home and made lasagna, which I have been craving for for months. Now that its cold, I feel I can properly enjoy it.

So after feeling accomplished with how my dinner came out I figured it's time to patch up some old projects I've been anxious to finish.

I started this one back in February and finally laid down the final colors on a full stomach and The Colbert Report. Looking at it now, I want to do another with a brighter finish to it.

Till the next post,

Making Sweet Tea

After a long break I'm back to breathe life into this blog. Here's a sketch of a portrait I'm going to paint of my little sister. This will be a good warm up before start my "Totally Badass Art Competition" entry.

Unapologetic Creativity

A friend sent me a link to a video without saying what it was or why I should watch it. I wandered off for a while then came back to see what he had sent me. I was instantly enamored with what I saw, not because of the music, context or the people in the video.

It was the idea that caught me and the fact that I never thought of anything like this before. This video is a fresh take on the typical music video so take a look and be amazed or confused. "Click Here"

It all starts from paper.

I was having a conversation with someone who asked me why I did most of my work on the computer instead of doing "real" artwork. I explained that I choose the computer because its efficient and forgiving all while maintaining the level of quality I want in my works. So I decided to show more of the process than just the final outcome because essentially whether its on canvas, glass or a monitor, it all starts from paper.
