Night Elf Huntress!

From World of Warcraft.

Portrait time

My noseless friend sans her cat since I don't know how to paint a cute cat...I'll figure it out. Something different.

Goblin Vs. Worgen!

From earlier this year. Goblin Vs. Worgen.

These are the thumbnails I sketched for the Art Director to choose from.

Black Magic Woman

Evil Jungle Goddess...or HAIRBIRD!

Lion-O WIP

Sketched this while en route to boston. I seem to favor the upshot.

Vulcan Raven color rough

I've always wanted to paint a series of portraits of my favorite cartoon/comicbook/ and videogame characters, so here's the first! Vulcan Raven from Metal Gear Solid. Just a sketch for now, but I'll post WIP's as I move along.

The figure in the middle was me drawing poorly. My linework has suffered over the years and it doesn't get any worse than getting used to a cintiq then having your computer break and being forced to resort to the old Wacom tablet/laptop combo you used to use years ago. Anyway, I tried to make the initial pose more dynamic with the recomposing of the figure on the right.

World of Warcraft: Call of the Crusade patch art

My X-Men cover WoW style from last year. I made drawings exactly like this in high school of the X-men. Goofy stuff.

The Lich King

Coolest character from Warcraft 3 - Death Knight Arthas as the Lich King. I think this piece has seen use as a soundtrack CD or magazine cover somewhere, so naturally it gets posted in here. :)

Random WOW TCG cards

Here is a sample of WOW TCG cards I've done over the last 4 years in no chronological order. These were a lot of fun to work on, and since I've had no formal training in illustration, this is basically where I cut my teeth in full color. So saturated!

Hyper cover #2. Diablo 3 Monk

That would be the monk from D3. Yes, I am slacking on keeping this blog updated. Starcraft 2 is a time destroyer. But I'm #1 in the gold division! woo!
Also: Page 1 features the Fallen.

Starcraft 2 Spectre: Tosh

More work work. I need to find some time for personal stuff. Here is Tosh from Starcraft 2. This piece was used in the Blizzcon 'o9 pamphlets. Next post I promise will be something without a gun or a sword.

Starcraft 2 - Terran Marine. A.K.A. My Print cover debut!

Call me old-fashioned, but this means more to me than any internet appearance. Makes me wish I spent more time on the face. This is the cover of the Oct issue of Australian videgame magazine Hyper >>.

(UPDATED)Pesky text removed! Truthfully, I liked that they covered up the wonky perspective on the guns.

Diablo 3 Barbarian

I thought this would be fun to put up. Here are a pair of rough concepts I made for the Diablo 3 barb in 2006. The touch up's I made for Blizcon 2008...I need to get back to posting new stuff.

Zbrush modelling!

Here are my first attempts at Zbrush sculpting. I'm a bit late getting on this bandwagon but better late than never? For those of you who don't know what Zbrush is, it's a cool program for high resolution 3d sculpting. I barely have a grasp of the tools or the potential of the thing. Basically I click things and grunt till the little gray mesh starts to resemble...men. Apparently I like sculpting men.

The first few shots are the initial result of this ham-fisted method of approach. The next three are a refinement of that same model hence the identical ears and hair. The ears are wonky looking because I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

The Fallen

Art created for the Fallen reveal last week. These two are portraits of two of the figures in the main image.
