Last nights study and tonight's study.

Some more concept thumbs.

Some more quick thumbs today. Not really focusing on detail just letting loose and grabbing an idea! 

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!

Winter harvest

"The winter harvest has been good to us this year"

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!

Illidian Stormrage

My favorite video game character from warcraft 3. Some Fan art I've been working on in my spare time. Enjoy. 

MTG - Spirit and Goblin token art

 Some more MTG token art I did (not official). Yet will be purchasable soon threw http://cardamajigs.com/. So players around the world will have some cool tokens to buy and play with there favorite decks! I had so much fun working on these. Ive always enjoyed working on goblins. So happy with how he came out. I feel it fits right into the goblin area of MTG.

Hope you enjoy!

Faerie Rogue Tokens - MTG

So my recent designs for the MTG Tokens is for the Faerie Rogue tokens. The designs are based around the description provided by the card: Bitterblossom and my reference gathering of MTG faeries. This art was done with the intention of making panoramic art. So each piece has its own place being a Faerie Rogue as a single card. But when played side by side. Creates a larger intertwined scene. With the help of my brother. I do believe sets of these tokens will be foiled and sold for those who are inclined on e-bay. The website http://www.cardamajigs.com/ has recently opened the doors to giving a outlet for printed non foiled tokens to be offered for players to purchase. Sadly because of the cost of printing. At this current time only 1 of these cards may be sold at this time. Currently we are still determining what card that might be. Yet maybe with the support of the community we may see all 3 become available.

MTG: Bitterblossom

MTG - Lifelink Wurm token

Here is the Lifelink illustration. The sister card to Deathtouch token. Done for my brother who is going to foil them for his Magic the gathering deck. Hope you enjoy! 

MTG - Deathtouch Wurm token

So my brother loves Magic the gathering. How could you not. I would look at the art in those cards for hours! To the point that I didn't have a clue what was happening in the game. Such inspirational stuff. Well my brother asked me to do some art. He wants to make a foil with my art for "Deathtouch Wurm" token and "Lifelink Wurm" token. Currently Lifelink Wurm is being worked on in my spare time. But here is Deathtouch Wurm! 

African Tracker - 2nd medieval african concept

2nd in the African medieval fantasy style. I wanted this character to have a feeling of being a tracker. Garbed in the skins of leopards. The prominent creatures trained to help track. Lighter geared. Yet still to the level of a medieval fantasy genre character. One who could still prove lethal.

The overall design was quite a challenge. I knew I wanted the leopard skins but at first I was not finding them to fit at all. After several reworks I found a style I liked. As well as an overall color scheme that still complimented the Norwegian look of the armor with a African style pallet.

Hope you enjoy! Cant wait to start on the next one.

Mobile character - paladin concept

Done a little while ago to practice a cartoon mobile style character.

Right version is with the head a bit larger to push the cartoon feeling a bit more. 

African warrior - medieval african concept

For a while I've been thinking about how I think it would be great to see fantasy characters. That have a feeling of African origin. Yet fit into the overall "European medieval fantasy genre". So after a lot of thought and finally putting the puzzle pieces together in my head I've started to design them.

Assuming I can continue to muster the free time. I've got more ideas id like to work on in the coming months! After the first design I think the results are very interesting! I'm excited to find time to do more.

The first design is The warrior. Accompanied by his proud and trained battle lions.

Fantasy warrior - concept

 Another sketch from the other day. worked out in 3d then rendered to final concept! 

Jungle environment - Waterfalls monoloiths

Last nights work. Had fun doing this. Sketched an idea well waiting for a friend at the coffee shop. Got home and did a little 3d for the triangle pillars. Then started working it to this point. I must spend more time in 3d. I have a few more sketches that I'd like to push forward so I think I will use some basic 3d for all of them.

The basic 3d used as the base used to create above!

A monster is loose.

Run dog... RUN.

Tropical landscape sketches

Some sketches from tonight! 

Volley of Arrows - AWP skin - CS - GO

Volley of arrows is a skin that pay's homage to the countless instances of players charging into battle and falling to there knees. As well as the times a AWPer has forced the enemy off into the corners to save! We have all faced the volley of arrows!

I had a lot of fun making this skin!. using my skills as a concept artist/developer I wanted to do something I felt was unique in the CS-GO community. There are so many fantastic weapons created by so many hard working devs/modders. I love getting to vote on such cool work. With this design I wanted the weapon to rage with fire. The fires of WAR! I decided to place the main focus on the point of the Arrows. But you will see the background hints the burning of a pagoda village.

The barrel its self has an arrow whizzing out! The scope and butt of the gun decorated in patterned arrows. Etched into the top of the metal base is 5 hatch marks for the AWP ace. With engraved txt "Ace all day"
