Tiger

Finally finished working on the background for this one.  I really like the way it turned out but it really needs to be coloured.  It will join the pile of work that I need to colour but for now onto something new.
A tiger I drew with Illustrator.  I will draw background tomorrow.

Mother Nature Coloured

I coloured this one and that took longer then drawing it which I hoped wouldn't happen.  But it looks cool so it was worth all the time.  I have an animation showing how I drew and coloured it.  The music, Same Mistake is by Marc Hönninger and you can find it here:

I will have information about prints soon.

Aurora Borealis

I found an amazing picture of Aurora Borealis by Thilo Bubek taken in Tromsø, Norway.  I took a little time and combined this photograph with a few other images and some of my designs, while taking a break from colouring the Mother Nature picture.

Here is more mind blowing image of the natural phenomenon by photographer Ole C. Salomonsen

Figures of Power

Inspired by this old image (relatively old) I decided to do a series of figures with the same concept.  I ended up going over board with the amount of reference/resource images I found and couldn't help but make sixteen new illustrations.  Some of them work better then others, but I think overall as a whole they work well together.  Even though the figures are all from different eras and locations I think the way I aged the photographs holds them together as one conheisive piece.  I am not sure what I will do with this project in the future, if it is complete or if it will change into something else again.

What's Up Pussycat Tshirt

If you like this Tshirt and you want one help me out with a Vote at Threadless.com


I thought the portrait was floating in the middle of the page because there was too much empty space at the top and bottom so I decided to add a design.  I ended up redrawing most of the lion to make the hair match the design and swirls and in turn it matches the face a lot more as well.  I also added a lot more shadow and depth to the face and hair.
Updated this one a bit by making the face match the angular looking hair a little better.  Also cleaned up the lines of the hair a little more as well.  I still may add more to this one later.

Theocide: Steel & Stone

Hey here is the album artwork I did for the new Theocide LP, Steel & Stone which the band had a release party for last night.  I started working on this over six months ago now and I am happy to be able to finally unleash this.  I will update this in a few days with links to some music and avenues in which you can purchase the album.

ArtOrder: Lovecraft Creature Lab challenge

This is for a concept challenge hosted by ArtOrder in which you had a choice of many of H.P. Lovecraft's creatures to Illustrate.  I chose a Mi-go:

“They were pinkish things about five feet long; with crustaceous bodies bearing vast pairs of dorsal fins or membraneous wings and several sets of articulated limbs, and with a sort of convoluted ellipsoid, covered with multitudes of very short antennae, where a head would ordinarily be.... As it was, nearly all the rumours had several points in common; averring that the creatures were a sort of huge, light-red crab with many pairs of legs and with two great bat-like wings in the middle of their back..."

If you don't know Lovecraft's and you like horror then he is essential since he is the grandfather of the genre.  Go pick up one of his books.  Guillermo del Toro, the director of Pan's Labyrinth is currently getting ready to film Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness, which I think is the first time that someone has adapted one of his works for the big screen.

View all the Lovecraft challenge submissions.

Day and Night

Ok so I coloured this really quickly and I think I like it better then the black and white version, even though I didn't think I'd be able to go that.
So I really like this one in Black and White.  Going to try colouring but I don't know this looks pretty magestic.

Day and Night: Work in Progress

For the Character of the Week challenge at ConceptArt.com.  I said I would do more of these but have been unable too do any since I said that because the Mother Nature illustration took up all my time.  This is the female figure for Day and now I will work on the Male figure for Night and then colour the piece. 
 So the female figure was Day and this is Night.  I have also put them in one but i think i will change it a bit and try out some colour, but I really like it in black and white.
