Blizzard N00bz Contest Winner - Ghoulash
I entered a contest at my work to paint a custom reproduce-able 'n00bz' character. My team mate & friend Julien Lefebvre presented the idea to Blizzard & it looks like it stuck! Blizzard is working with Big shot Toyworks to mass produce these. There was also a part of the contest for custom non-repro toys that were very original with tons of mods - all of which were on display at Blizzcon! The 3 winners (located here) were all for sale as well as the 'Raynor' (Starcraft) model which was given away as part of the Blizzcon 'Goody Bag.'
My entry 'Ghoulash' shown at Blizzcon above. Also included is a quick spot Direct TV did on the winners. Here is my section as it played at the Blizzcon store right next to the main panel's audience that you hear in the background:

Old Smokey

This is a work in progress. His name comes from that song about a meatball... I'm not sure what inspired me to paint him, but I have to take a break from him to work on some freelance stuff. I'll post the final once I get some personal time again.

Blizzcon Skeleton King Throne

My latest Level art in Blizzard's 'Diablo III' Blizzcon demo. To give appropriate credit to whoever took this screenshot, I found it here:

Life Drawing

I have had to take a break from figure drawing for about this whole past year due to crazy commutes and living far from my work. Blizzard just began offering some life drawing sessions after work. SO... I blame any lameness on just being tired.

Sculpture

Here is my clay sculpture for a monster mask I am making.
I have recently taken a class from a hollywood 'monster mask' maker: Jordu Schell.
His specialty is in latex masks and appliances or parts of masks that are applied with make up to actors faces. He has worked on loads of films, most recently probably Aliens vs Predator and some painting monsters on Cloverfield.
Cool and demented art, here is his studio gallery: http://schellstudio.com/sculpture.htm
I have cast this sculpture and poured a latex mask that I will paint. I will post more pics as I go!

Fire Witch

California (my current home state) is currently on fire everywhere! Each big fire has a name... the biggest one is called the "witch fire." Fitting the season, I couldn't help but imagine the culprit that started it.
(sorry I don't post as much lately - I worked on this one for 5 minutes at a time over this month)

Frog Guard

I am finally sketching again. I guess I have settled in enough to draw strange little frogs. I didn't have a reason to draw this guy - he just kind of came out.

Meet The Robinsons Game Concept


I finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and actually post some of the work I have done over the last year with Disney. These first two pictures are level designs for the Emperor Stanley Dungeon areas. This is one of the Darker areas in the game - it was really fun to design - Lots of metal and glass surfaces, mixed with rock walls (as most of this area is built into a volcano)!

Bad guy dragon monster?

I don't typically draw dragons, or many 'beasts' of any sort, so for this posting I am entering a whole new realm of art. I was thinking that if I deviate too much from my style, that it would lose everyones interest... Luckily I came to my senses and realized that I don't really have a style. So I have decided to begin posting more types of things, and hopefully continue with the speed paintings also!

Old house - Green hills

I have been wanting to do something more 'landscape-ish' since I did that little backyard sketch below. This is definitely more of a landscape, but there just happens to be a house in it too. I think its somewhere in europe or more likely somewhere I just made up.
Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone!
