Hey everyone! Just a little art update with a recent WIP.. nothing groundbreaking with the concept here, but I wanted to do a classic fantasy illustration, so I went for an army of badguys that have just gotten the “CHARGE!!!” order :)

I’ll post the finished thing when I get there! I gotta squeeze in personal work and studies in between gigs now, which I’m grateful for! Still have capacity for more, so if you wanna hire me, drop me a line!

In other news, I did some concept art work for Storyline Studios on a project they have going now. I can’t spill the beans yet, but I can’t wait to see the finished product! It’s gonna be awesome! I was working at their studo, and the guys over there were a blast to work with! If you guys see this; thanks for the opportunity, and I really look forward to working with you again!

Anyway.. ’nuff hollerin’ and more art! Here’s the fantasy-illo-WIP and a couple of morning studies. (Click for larger versions)

Did this one for the conceptart.org newborn competition a while back. Had a look at it now, and I still kinda like the idea, but I believe I’ll work over this one again to bring it up to par.. I’ll be sure to let you know when I get that far.

And some Crimson Dagger studies:

The Rockwell study is, as it states, a work in progress! Learning heaps by studying the golden age cats!

I’ve updated the concept art gallery with a few pieces I did for Catalyst Game Labs for their pen ‘n paper RPG “Shadowrun”, the images are for the 20th Anniversary Edition of the book. They were used to illustrate various sections of the book, like character creation and such. Had a lot of fun doing these!

Here a taste, go to the gallery to see the rest:

I haven’t been freelance many days, but it seems things are cookin’! I’m doing some concept art for a point ‘n click adventure these days. Can’t show any of it yet, but I’ll share when I can! Got some other very interesting things in the works as well. We’ll see how they pan out!

Workin’ hard, studying hard and generally enjoying life a lot more than a little while ago!

I have capacity for more work though, so if you guys come across anything interesting, or wanna hire me, give me a holler!

Hey guys! I’ve recently started listening in on a livestream show with Dave Rapoza where he does Crimson Daggers sessions, which are art study sessions. I’ve done two of ‘em now, so I figured I’d post ‘em. I’ve focused on studying color, so they are a little wonky, but there ya go.. I’m learning a LOT! I’ll write some thoughts opn what I’m picking up from these at some point too!

Yesterday I did a study after a photo I found online.. I don’t know who took the picture, or I would’ve credited the photographer!

And today I did an N.C. Wyeth study, and MAN this was a lot harder! But this is the one I’ve gotten the most out of of the two in regards to learning color!

Catch you guys later! And thanks for looking!

So I’ve been assigned a task list at Desimal which I’m working through this last month I’m working there, there’s a bunch of lineart stuff, which I’ll probably show some of at some point, and some concept art. In this case a character concept of a blacksmith/mechanic (the most fun part of the list so far ;) ). Thought I’d show and tell a little.

If any of you guys see this and need some concept art done for a project, I’m free from January 1st for freelance! Get in touch, and we’ll talk!

Now back to drawing a whole bunch of parrots I wanna get done today!

Hey guys! Long time no blog.. Had a lot going on lately. After thinking about it for quite some time, I’ve finally reached the decision to quit my current job. From January 2010 I’ll be a freelancer, so wish me luck and let me know if you have any work for me! Hehe.. I really needed a change, and I’m stoked about what the new year will bring! For all you guys out there working creative jobs (or otherwise for that matter) that feel you need a change; DO IT! It’s good to feel you’re taking a new step, turning over a new page and all that!

I’m starting to form a couple of plans on what to do next year, and there will be concept art comin’ out of it! :D (It’s all I know how to do, and all I want to do, so there ya go..hehe).. I’ll fill you in when stuff starts moving properly!

Little bit of art to go with the post.. I’ve recently rediscovered ink and markers for sketching, and I’m having a blast with it, so I figured I could show you a couple of doodles at least ;) I’m cookin’ up some digital paint stuff too, so I’ll post as soon as I have anything worth showing! For now; some steampunk-y markers..

And a little tribute do District 9 :) Or rather… a design on how a warrior class prawn might look like:

Catch ya later!

Hey guys! I joined in on the COW (Creature Of the Week) over at conceptart.org.. the brief was a pretty lengthy piece, so I won’t write it all our here.. the description can be found on the forums here.

Had a buncha fun with this one! Here’s my submission (click for larger version):

With my sincerest apologies to Marvel and bananas, I give you HULK CHIMP!!

No concept art as such, I guess more twisted fan art? I don’t know.. it’s just a blog though, right? I’m allowed to go off on a tangent right? Haha
Had a lot of fun with this one! :D The concept of an unholy alliance of the hulk and a chimp amused me to no end! Haha! Hope you guys dig it! (Oh.. and I think he’s pissed ‘cuz he can’t for the life of him peel a banana without it popping out)

Yeah, so I did another chimp :) He ain’t as dangerous as he’d like ya to think with his little steamguns there.. hehe.

Had a lotta fun doing this one! I’ve done a screenrecording of it as well, so I’ll update this post with it once I get it on youtube.

As always; click the image for larger version :)

I don’t know what you heard about me/
but that b**** can’t get a goldpiece outta me/

that I’m a muthaf*****’ B.I.M.P./
