Some older stuff...

Looking back into my older artwork I realized there's a lot of work I haven't shown on the blog. This includes part of my alternative process when designing my own concepts and characters.

First up is an early environment from the school days. Reproduction of an environment from a photograph.

Here is a low-poly character from school based on a character from the novel Water For Elephants. Based on a concept by Anthony Ashton.

When entering contests online I tend to go through an iterative process when making my own designs.

The first step is developing a strong silhouette from which I can then produce lines on top of and finish with some paint. I used this process towards a rough concept that was abandoned during Dominance War IV, an online art contest at GameArtisans.


I decided to go with Gravethorn at the time, but I do hope to someday return to this concept as a personal project.

More soon!

Scribe | GameArtistans | 1 of 6 Paths | Final

Finished this up for a contest on GameArtisans back in November.




Based on some concepts drawn up during the contest. If I have time, I'd like to put a set of these characters together.

Keep truckin'!

DW4 | Final

The deadline for Dominance War IV is tomorrow, but I am wrapping up early so that I can get some other projects done for finals. I learned a lot this year about my strengths and weaknesses, and am looking forward to DW5! I believe I want to use DW as a yearly milestone landmark, so I will push myself each year with such contests. Can't wait to stuff my brain for next year!

Here are my proposed finals that I will submit Monday night. I am more satisfied with this year's results as opposed to last year's, and I'm glad I made the choice to participate. Good times. :)
