Hello people!  I am alive, at least I believe I am.  Which is a good thing i believe.  I have some pictures.  Take a look and enjoy!  I really need to get back into more reliable updates. 

FIRE BOUND

Hello loyal followers.  Sorry for the absence. This past month has been quite hectic.  Work has been coming in, work has been cancelling, and a ton of drawing.  In the end it has been a blast and I have enjoyed all of it and learned a thing or two along the way.  Its always nice to look at  work and feel proud of that image once its completed.  I have learned to live that up because in a week,  my eyes will not have the same opinion.  My eyes where born to nit pick and that is what they'll do.  It is a major annoyance, but in the end, I learn more and more from it.  So in the the next piece, I would have learned from the mistakes that wouldn't have normally been picked out when looking at that image right on completion.  So, to my eyes.  I hate you for being so nit picky, but thank you for that as well. 

In this update, I have some more contracts and some personal projects.  There are a few images I am really proud of, but because of the contracts, I am not allowed to use them in a portfolio or to advertise myself until the product they are being used for comes out.  So you guys are going to have to wait a few months.  Enjoy!

This image started as a practice to hone up on my fire coloring skills. It proved itself to be much more when someone with spectacular taste requested to pay for a copy.  So I wrote up a quick contract. Yep. I am satisfied. 

This one ended up having the opposite happen.  It started out as a commission but was dropped half way due to inadequate funding.  After it was dropped, I still wanted to work on it so I pressed forward.  I think this is one of the most enjoyable pictures I have worked on in quite a while.

 Its raining robot dragons.  I know our hero will make it out alive, but how is a very good question. She probably has a trick or two in those satchels or hers.

Beware the dreaded Samsquanch. 

Here are some more commissions for Harsh Realities.  By the way. Their kickstarter for the Sixcess world book did phenomenally.  I believe it was two grand over their goal.  Major props to those fellows.  I cant wait to see the final project.  They have another kickstarter in the works for another one of their books called Elfwood.  Ill keep you guys in the loop.  In fact, these next two images are for that book.  Didn't notice that until I looked at my monitor to check for spelling errors.

A tree city.  If I was an elf, I would live there.

An underground Elf city.  If i was an elf, I would also live here.  Though, I think all this purple would have me seeing all and only purple.  Purple vision.

A pirate captain doing what she does best. Multitasking.

"Your looking a little thin there Frank.  Want a burger?"

An elf and an untimely sensation of vertigo

Hello Fellows. Im Back!!!

Man, it has been a while. Sorry about that. I have been really busy this past month with art stuff and junk.  Also, there is a kickstarter for a book that i did illustrations for. Check it out, and if you want, pledge some.  Its worth it.

Liquid Fire

There are a couple of things in this post.  The first two are related to a new comic that I will be starting rather soon. The first being a action shot of the main character, and the second is full of concept art for the three primary players in this small comic.

This ink drawing was created in Northern VA after a few hours of driving around in traffic. 

That frustration put me in a bad place and i just wanted to work on a dark picture. Introducing, Thrask the Hunter.

I Travel Through, Towards the Heart of Darkness

Here is a quick update. Just finished a sci-fi/ post apocalyptic/ mechanical jungle picture.  As usual, I like to incorporate a bit of a narrative into my scenery pieces, and this one is not lacking that, although its a bit straight forward.  Anyways, enjoy!

Beneath the vaults of shadow-haunted tombs, I see the fire that burns like the black heart of night.

Here are the colors for the Goatwave and Conana pictures.  I also threw in a little black and white image as well.

 I really love doing these landscape pictures.  Not only are they easy to work on, it adds soo much depth and story to it as well. Makes the viewer wonder what the deal is with the object in the background. in this case, its the massive ruins in the back. Of course their cursed. Has to be. Its standard.

"Do not let your eyes linger young princess. It is nothing but forgotten memories, dust, and shadows.
Evil things that dwell in these dark and silent places."

GOATSTORM!!! And CONANA!!!!!

Here is a long awaited update.  Its full of a bunch of inks from various projects.  

This was absolutely one hundred percent fun. Its also been a long time since I drew ant goat-men, so it was nice go and draw something new(ish).

This image was an ink that i worked on in my free time.  There wasn't too much of a goal that i wanted to reach here.  I just wanted to draw a female warrior/ barbarian, and than make it gritty.  Interesting fact. One of the best ways to make something gritty, is to have the character standing in a pool of their own blood.

These two below are a pair of character concepts from a small contract.  It was fun to do because i was pretty much given free reign over the concepts.  There where a few little tweaks, but in the end it wasn't so bad.  When the imges where sent, the little slime guy was not included.

Space pirate concept. Two of her limbs are robotic.  Neat little addition.  Adds a little bit of story to her as well.

Space Soldier Concept. Big gun, hates googly eyed goo piles
