Ok! So the boat is back...It was just to empty with all that action weighted to the left. Don't worry if those guys look a bit rough though, they are just sketched in right now. I also tried to make the octopus look a bit more "exotic" with some patterning and texture. Make him special! and stuff. Get the final up soon I hope. Stay tuned!

UPDATE: Surviving the Storm
Ok, there has been a few changes. The monster went from a squid to an octopus, and the boat got much closer (much slimmer chance of survival). I also decided to ditch the magic being used in the boat. I had originally thought I would have a member of the crew yelling a protection spell, then decided against it. I had magic in the last one so I figured I would try something else. So far I'm pretty happy with it. But there is so much left to do! those "survivors" are just place holders right now. I need to get some reference shots to work from.

A New Post! Surviving the Storm

Hey guys, I am finally all moved in and ready to start some new pieces. Sorry it has taken so long to post something new and get going. This thumb/color study is a bit rough but its one of three i'm starting. I need to get those up as well. Let me know what you all think. I really need to get back on the job. I was going nuts not working on anything!

Discover a Muse

Alright. Here it is. My submission for the Discover A Muse challenge over at ArtOrder. I'm pretty positive this thing is finished. But when you have more time you usually find little things to tweak before you have to turn it in for good. We shall see haha, it's not due till June 1st.
In the end I decided to do a picture of an Elf Warlock. The Picture I used is from Veronika's portfolio site HERE called perfectmuse.com from a set shot by Huit Photography. Veronika as a muse is all part of the challenge, so everyone got the opportunity to work from her modeling portfolio as reference.

Pin-Up Challange
This was my ArtOrder Pin-Up Challenge piece that I just entered the other day. Over all I'm pretty happy with it. But after dwelling on it I think a different vignette shape would have worked with the figure better. I had really liked how it had worked with the Assassin so I used it again. But I think this character needed something all her own. Maybe I'll go back into it later.

Clark Lightning: Arctic Assassin
This is the result of a random Action hero name generator. And freedom to do what ever pops into my head. Fun assignment! I think I'm gonna do a few more and add a few character designs to my portfolio.
