warrior sketch

2012-05-05T19:59:00.001-04:00

Some more pose studies. The original model had a bored look on his face, so I changed it into an angry war type yell, then I kinda liked how it looked and decided to give it a fast costume, Celtic warrior style.

First Introductions

2012-04-29T21:23:00.002-04:00

WIP The dragon started off as a drawing in my sketchbook, I added the cloaked figure as a worshipper/master of the baby dragon. Originally the layout had a big window in the middle and the dragon was off to the left, but I took some advice to obey rule of thirds and adjusted my layout, I think it looks better this way, thank you to bluebengal for the help.

Scarecrow in Cornfield

2011-12-08T18:39:00.001-05:00

A Hallowe'en inspired pumpkin head scarecrow in a cornfield. Note to anyone going into a cornfield to take reference photos, check to make sure you are allowed into the corn or you could end up like I did being stalked by a farmer thinking I am stealing his crop. Some lines done in illustrator, the rest all done in photoshop.

3 stage concept gun

2011-12-08T17:24:00.001-05:00

Another concept weapon; this weapon is a three piece tear apart gun. Stage one is four rocket propelled arrows lined with razor blades. Once arrows are used, operator would drop off the front area of the gun, now it's at the stage two gun, a variable auto/single shot 9mm light machine gun with laser sights. After the second stage clip is empty, the weapon operator can detach front, leaving behind a semi-auto/single shot 9mm hand gun.

Dark Guardian Fan Pic

2011-12-05T15:04:00.001-05:00

I read an article about Real Life Super Heroes (RLSH), people who dress in a costume and do things like homeless outreach programs, fight crime, and keep the peace. After reading, I did more research into the various heroes out there doing their thing; Most of it was kind of a joke, but one of these superheroes was actually putting himself in the line of fire to make a difference. He calls himself "Dark Guardian" and lives in New York. I watched this man (who isn't a giant by any means), stand up to drug dealers twice his size and make them back down. Too many people turn their heads to violence and crimes going on, if they cared as much as this man, the world would be a lot better off. In his honor, I did this picture of his silhouette on a dark guardian logo with a quote I found that I thought was fitting. I sent him the picture and he contacted me back in an email as well as placed it on his facebook page.
