Halo inspired sketches

Some more study before sleep. Just some geometric shapes that happened to feel very halo. So I added a littler spartan in! Goodnight.



Rough composition thumbs

Just some rough compositions here for you. Had a blast working on these. Not thinking about every detail. Just letting my hand flow and makeing a rough idea! 



Inter-dimensional traveler

"They travel many paths between many dimensions. Still we don't know what they want."

A study I did last night before sleep. Inter-dimensional traveler. I used the Zorn palette specifically for this. after completing I bumped the rune/glyphs/spells with color dodge and did a little color balance so it moved slightly out of the zorn pallete. But it was a fun exercise to try and stay within it!

The valley of the great wind: Forest creatures

Its been a while since I've got a chance to do some more designs for my design project "The valley of the great wind" But I finally got some completed. This cartoony design project is something I intend to be a ongoing project in my free time to concept and explore a catoon fantasy world. An adventure game similar to classics such as Banjoo Kazoo, Zelda, Conquers bad fur day, Donky kong country, Dark cloud, and others that I grew up playing and loving as a kid. Here are some more concepts that I did for some random cast creatures that might appear. All forest dwellers. The first a wood nymph, The second a bear sloth, and lastly a forest troll.

Hope you enjoy!

Circuits and Sheilds - Moba map concept

Recently the folks working on Circuits and Shields hired me to do a concept of the map for there up and coming MOBA. It was a lot of fun to discuss and work on a overall vision for the project. Previous work on MOBA's has had me doing environment designs based upon each zone. Creep zone, spawn, towers, so on so forth. But they needed to try and grab a overall general feel for this map. Having to concept a entire section of the map that could be mirrored had its challenges. In the end we got to a good place. With the combination of the other concepts that were done. They have a good forward momentum now on designing the map!

Check out the site which should be fully live in the near future. Yet still has various media content and other information about the work in progress. Also look forward to helping them kickstart the project if your a MOBA fan!

Band of Brothers - Kris




As a gift to a good friend. I did this illustration of him as a soldier in the style of band of brothers. He is a big WW2 buff and loves that series. I did the art and my other friend got him a awesome print for Christmas that he now hangs over his computer. He claims its the best thing he has ever received. So I'm proud we did it for him!
