Herro peeples, my blog posts are getting more and more infrequent, having two careers leaves little time for blogging, but I want you guys to be updated on current arts. This is fresh work, only minutes old. It's a painting of another one of the goddesses in my pantheon, Yutoria. She is an trans-dimensional messenger, similar to Hermes. Her aspect is gravity and light, and the sheer energy of her presence splits light into it's component colors. She is a star in human form, and in her self-inflicted wounds bands of plasma escape, hinting at her true nature. Her eyelids are translucent, so she can see with her eyes closed, and the wings connected to her eyes twitch and flutter according to her mood. I hope you enjoy this work, it's a piece that definitely helped me level up my skills. Here's the
huge version in case people would like to really get up close on it.
Hi guys, time for an update on what I've been up to. I've started to re-focus on the book I'm writing, and nailing down appearances for characters. This one is Cerisphipides, the Iron Siren. Originally a emerald eyed goddess with miles-long hair, she had a terrible calamity befall her by way of her enemies; she was not to be united with her love to become one in body. Her punishment was to be stripped of her hair and legs, and imprisoned in an arachnid shell. She is a motherly and serene creature, and remains kind to her followers.
A couple of close-ups:
As always thanks for looking! I'm going to be cooking up something very d-toid related very soon, so check back soon.
Just got my Become t-shirt in mail, it fits perfectly, and is great quality. Thanks for all the people at Dtoid for hooking these up, and much thanks and props for Ashley Davis, this is a wonderful design. SHOW US UR GOODS!
Hullo, it's been a while. Life's been busy, work has been lucrative, and I'm making quite a bit of change off of my business ventures, and it's high time that I've shared! This is a character design I finished today; based on the art direction of this page: Algadon.com. I've been commissioned to do a set of these for $100 each, and it's been fun working on this one. Let me know what you think! Hopefully I'll be able to post more as I complete this project and other work!
Design Brief: Create a female angelic warrior. All details are up to you.
The line art is finally done! This is probably the best and most involved work I've done in a very long time; and I'm proud of what I've created. For now I'll be prepping it for color and doing final detail work. I've had to level up my game to make this piece look good, and my friend Sarah pointed me in the right direction in terms of getting my anatomy right. Hopefully the painting phase will go as well as this has. Thanks for looking!
Hi guys, it's been a long while. I've been concentrating on freelance work for my company, Raven Harbor. You might recognize one of my employees ;3. This piece is a figure in repose of a Blood Elf Hunter named Teglimus. I had the idea to draw WoW characters for people to not only boost my figure drawing skills, but also to open myself to a potential market of 11 million people. It's still pretty early, but you can get a good idea of where I'm going with this one. Thanks for looking!
I'm an artist and teacher at Full Sail University and run a freelance art studio in Winter Park, Florida. I specialize in natural fantasy and industrial design, as well as character design. I am currently a concept artist for an online MUD, and for an independent horror film. This is my video game art blog; I'm meticulous and am a perfectionist, and I've begun to experiment with different styles and methods to create art that is faithful to it's source. Video games have been a completely and wholly encompassing part of my life; it's only fair that my love of art reflects this.
