Venice Carnival Theme!

So this was my submission for a character design challenge. Venice carnival is one of my favorite themes so I was really excited to do this one! <3

Missile

The Stealth Missile design from the book series "The League of Elder" by Ren Garcia. I had to capture a lot of anger and a sinister look in this scene. So just went for the red and pointyness. All done in Photoshop :)

Shadow demon

A commission I did for Ren Garcia, for the book series "The League of Elder". All done in photoshop, got to use the smoke brush again and that's always fun!

Some celestial abstract paintings

So these are some old paintings I did back in 2005. My celestial geometric creations, inspired a bit by cubisim! Looking back at these now, I kinda like them. It's nice to have that raw creativity in my art before the pressure of perfection kicked in. Its nice to see how my art has evolved over time and a good reminder to just appreciate the imperfections in things. These are done in acrylics on canvas. Enjoy :)

Some quick character sketches

Commission I did of some character sketches for Ren Garcia's book 11 from the series "The League of Elder" Took a break from digital for this one and did a pencil sketch!

Beast creature design

So more sculpting in Zbrush fun! This creature design is based on a thumbnail I did last year.

Used some bear and human anatomy reference to get the muscles looking right. Along with baboon and cow reference for the look.

Now to do the colors and I'll have another creature to add to my collection :)

Axolotl Dinosaur

So this is my finished painted 3D model of my axolotl dinosaur. I call it the Axolsaur. This one is also done in Zbrush. I tried to do a lot more texturing with the paint and skin. It took me a while to figure out the colors for this since my original color scheme was too similar to my previous Alien model. Enjoy! :)
