Freelancin' every day. [Artsy Fartsy]
Togail | 6:30 PM on 09.01.2009 17 comments


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.

He's back, to remind the rest of us of our artistic inadequacies!

Seriously, looking forward to seeing the rest of the series.

Dear God... the awesomeness.

You know my birthday is the 26th of this month. I'm not ashamed to beg for a bearded samurai from you Togail. I'll be satisfied with a finger painting from you.

Y0j: lol. I'll see if I can make it happen, I've been meaning to draw a character for you.

Togail, it's been a while! I love the detail on the light effects coming off of the sword/other spells, very impressive!
GamingGoddess's Destructoid Blog
For some reason it's the energy swirls around her feet that really grab my attention:). I also like the fact that she has kind of non-traditional angel-wings, I think the temptation with these sorts of characters is to give them huge white archangel wings and it doesn't always work.

I look forward to seeing more of these.

Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Holy mother of God! If I had a good printer I'd frame it. Right now. Once again Togail, love your work man. It's great!
shadowsinthenyte's Destructoid Blog
Nice. I like the floating geometric shapes in the aura. Most works just have some vague organic or flame look.
WarZombie's Destructoid Blog
That's crazy good. I also wanted to go to Full Sail last year. What do you teach?

 about me



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.

Artistic Influences:

Tetsuya Nomura
Ryan Church
H.R. Giger
Puddnhead
Harold Belker
Feng Zhu

As an artist, I have my weapons:

Hardware:

Craploads of mechanical pencils and sharpies
Stacks of printer paper
