Indian dude. With big gun. And sword.

Cover concept for a comic series called Shrapnel.

Vietnam era soldier

1 of 2 that I hope to do.

Historical Costumes

An image based off a woman from an 1874 painting by James Tissot entitled On the Thames, a pink dress inspired by an 1830's French fashion plate, an image of Charles 1 from a Daniel Myrtens 1631 painting of the same name, a late 18th century French Incroyables (based off of several engravings and a surviving cane), a mid 15th century Burgundian nobleman (after illuminated manuscripts depicting Philip the Good), and a speculative Egyptian Queen (after a small sculpture of Queen Tetisheri, possibly a forgery, as well as Winifred Brunton's image of said Queen).

Meow.

Aurora Feint 2: Arena Daemons

I finally have some published art that I worked on... though I didn't paint any of these, I conceptualized and designed quite a bit of them.  Feels good!

Protection

An OLD illustration I did back when I made art for art's sake.  Based on a dream.

The Hat (WIP)

Recent Character work - Marius

Undead Cowboys

Initial character sketches for some "undead cowboys".

Clothed figure painting final

Even more paintings...

More paintings...

A few in-class paintings...

The Butcher (v1. and v2)

Just a character proposal for an online RPG still in its development stages.

An image I did for commission.

Female Pilot

This started out as an in-class oil sketch, which I eventually photographed and re-worked in PS.  The model had some of the elements shown (fashion student, no doubt), but for the most part, I would say 85% has been repainted and redesigned in PS.

The Rose Champion and a Warrior

The character on the left is for a possible Unreal Tournament mod (shelved at the moment).  I'm trying out style that is less realistic and a bit more "pushed" in proportions.

The character on the right is just at new painting techniques, though I eventually decided to fully render the character.

Lord of Light '08 Spring Show piece

Just bumping this up for those who haven't seen it.

Recent Character work

Am I getting paid for any of this?  Nope.  Soon...

Joshua and the Device

An illustration and character I did for commission for a proposed young adult sci-fi novel.

Character Sketches for a Facebook App.

A sketch.

Revolution Cafe, San Francisco.

Chaos Marines Spring Show '08 piece

A montage of previously designed characters inspired by the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Character Design process

Some sketches that illustrate my process for character design.  I don't think it is normal to go through so many iterations of a character, but alas, the client's ideas kept on changing.  The ideation is entirely mine, but the 3D model is done my someone else with some input by myself.

What Remains

A painting by Wayne Barlowe called What Remains.  Given out as small cards this past weekend at the Gnomon workshop, Mr. Barlowe was kind enough to sign it for me.

The Dancer and the Herald

An old digital painting that I've resurrected now that I feel I can handle it with some decent skill.  It is greatly influenced by French Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau's painting "Salome dancing before Herod", an amazing piece of art that I saw at the UCLA Armand Hammer museum a while back and has made quite an impression upon me.

Chaos Marine Champion of Nurgle

Last of a series of 4.

Photoshop doodling

Bored.  Need job.
