Art Attack Friday: Togail

Art Attack Friday: Togail photo

Art Attack Friday is your weekly look at videogame fan art created by a talented artist.

Back in December of last year, we held a contest where we wanted you to show us your "personas." The contest brought in a nice amount of new members including Togail, this week's Art Attack artist.

Togail is a teacher over at Full Sail University and specializes in natural fantasy, industrial design and character design. He's a perfectionist when it comes to his art and loves to be as detailed as possible in all of his pieces. Just check out his Shadow of the Colossus piece and see if you can spot Wander.

Togail really didn't have any videogame related art work when he first joined Destructoid, so after I harassed him a little bit, he began work on his videogame pieces. Togail has been sharing with us his amazing art work every since and has been drawing something new almost every week now for the past few months.

So far, he's done pieces on Final Fantasy, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Dead Space and more. More recently, he's been drawing Nintendo related art such as Bowser's castle, Charizard and Samus Aran. He also did the letter P for the Destructoid Children's book project. 

Below is a collection of his work, but you can find hi-res versions of all the pieces through his Community blog. You can also buy prints of his work over on his Web site and he's taking commissions too!

He really has a talent of making things really dark. I mean, really dark. I'd go as far as saying his Dead Space and Resident Evil pieces are more terrifying than the actual beings in those games. It's a talent that I'm jealous of.

And I still love his SotC piece, just because it brings out the immense size of that Colossus, especially once you found Wander in there.

I like the blotchy effects, almost water colorish. Although his actual drawing skills seem a little weak.

@ Atlas: lol XD

What struck me the most is the Pokemon piece. It made me scared of Charizard.

Fantastic work on the Art Attack Friday, you deserve two of these. Even if you are a bit trigger happy with a tazer.

You're one of my favorite featured artists so far. That Licker picture is still one of my favorites.

Wow. His Final Fantasy art can come across as the concept art from the actual artists themselves. That Charizard one was freaky too. I could never picture them like that.

I mean, sweet jesus, just look at the Shadow of the Collosus one and the Charizard one and the Pyramid Head one.

They're just amazing
