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/
no horse ‘n carriage, no flashy robe you can’t see/
that I’m a muthaf*****’ B.I.M.P./

Bat Imp creature concept! Click it for larger view! Added this one to the concept art gallery as well.

Did a couple of pieces a little while back.. character design or portrait and an action scene. I hear he reminds people of Stalin, even though this was not intentional.

Working on an exciting project these days as well.. I’ll give you guys some arty updates about that when the time is ripe.. haha

Been listening to the great concept artist and illustrator Bobby Chiu lately, and painted this :) Not like what he does at all, but I got inspired :)

Just some fun really… hehe.. Hope you dig!

Until next time

If this was for a game, the first two nightmare creatures would be “low level” enemies.. they’re pretty much basic and fleshy. That being said; I have no doubt that they’d be dangerous.

This next guy is a level up with a bony armour plate on his shoulder and upper part of his chest. Maybe I should think of some protagonists as well if this turns into a concept art for games fun side project.. we’ll see.. I’ll keep it fun though.

As always; click it for larger version :)

Did another Nightmare concept. These are fun! Might be that I make more.. we’ll see.. hehe..

Hope you like!

Did a few more of those studies from movie frames. The Wolverine one seems like it’s heading in some sort of direction.. hehe

I also made a few notes on the Wolverine one.. just some thoughts about what I’m looking at.. I’ll include these in the future if anyone has any interest in reading :P
