Cowboy

It's Clint Eastwood, I mean John Marston, I mean a cowboy. Yup, a completely original cowboy. 

It's not my fault that whenever I imagine cowboys they all look like 

Clint Eastwood, it's not...

Also, listened almost entirely to the Django Unchained Soundtrack while painting this.

Character Thumbnails

Some select sketches from various assignments and projects. Sci-fi soldiers, and Egyptian and Norse warrior(s). 

Jawesome

Dan Luvisi requested I do a piece for his reprint of his awesome book "LMS, Killbook of a Bounty Hunter". And of course I can't say no to that opportunity. So here's one of the many fabulous characters of Last Man Standing. Jawesome, just being his ol' sharky self. 

Sculpting

Been very busy lately with school and contract work. I've started plenty of personal paintings but haven't had the time to finish any of them up yet. Those that I have finished I can't yet post online. So here's some school work to tide this place over. First time working with clay and first time sculpting with Zbrush. The program itself is awesome, I can't wait to use it more. It has been added to my ever growing list of things I need to practice. Sculpting traditionally is equally entertaining. Anyway, please forgive my poor photo quality. 

 

Full figure above, (she was originally holding a spear prop) and bust before and after firing. 

For my Zbrush class. Work in progress of a portrait of Willem Dafoe. Starting poly painting soon.

Grocc

Commission for an online children's storybook. Our intrepid hero has found himself in a bit of a quandary. The creature he faces is the Grocc, king of the swamps. A chimerical mash-up of a crocodile and scorpion. 

Lightning Lure

Critter sketch. A sharky, bone jawed, tentacled cat thing. The whip I imagine behaves like a stingray's spine or a jellyfish tentacle. The creature is immune to its own sting, but prey is stunned/paralyzed by it. Could also use the whip as a lure. The tail is good for whacking things, that's about it.

Yule Deer

My obligatory holiday themed drawing. Saw some reindeer at a garden center and drew this later. The Elder Futhark runes carved into one of his antlers reads "yuletide". 

A belated Happy Holidays to everyone!
