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.

Working Class Hero (Post for Avalanche Software Art Blog)

This is the guy who cleans out those nasty truck stop bathrooms. The true paladin of the powder room!

MTR Concept II

Due to the success of my last post - I thought I had better post one more piece of concept art from Disney's Meet the Robinsons Game. This is a Pismo Handle - it's primary function is to open gates. There are 4 styles for 4 different regions that it appears in the game!

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)!

Monstery

Well how original of me - this guy is a monster and I've come up with this clever name: 'monstery'.

Again one of those scary looking - but really nice on the inside - kind of monster; quite the handsome fellow.

House in Field - Repost

I think this is my favorite. Don't worry if you've already seen this one, I will post again soon!

Golf Course Speedpaint

I finally got some time to return to the speedscapes! Hope it's not a disappointment.

SURPRISE ! ! !

I drew this on a piece of paper for my friend Tanya's surprise birthday party since I didn't have a present. Then I realized I had to paint it so I took a quick digital picture and brought it home.

New Monster

This is monster with a little bit of a happier disposition. Although he may seem innocent, he's very hungry!

God of the Deep

This is a late post for the 'Gods of Nature' subject on the Avalanche Software art blog. It was originally kind of inspired by tattoo art, maybe something an old seasoned sailor would have on his entire back.

At last...

I've had a lot of distractions lately - a slipped disc, a week of bronchitis, and on and on... BUT luckily I remembered that I love painting. I came back and tried another 30 min. speed paint and I think this one turned out my favorite. Hope I can do more like this.

Happiest Dog Ever

This was a drawing created for my work blog, we have a weekly or bi-weekly challenge. The subject was to draw something "too cute." I didn't want to go so far that I grossed myself out, so I figured - puppies are cute... especially when they are happy.

"Bowling Hall Bandit"

This is the not so Infamous "Bowling Hall Bandit"

His trademark qualities are:

1) Blatent disregard for bowling hall etiquite.

2) Persistent wearing of non-league uniforms.

3) General hooliganry.

Gesture sketches

Just a couple of Gesture sketches I have done over a few sessions in random places. It's a good way to keep yourself from getting rusty. These ones were done in about 5 to 10 minutes. I really enjoy gesture as an exercise to learn about form and big shapes.

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!

Hay!!

I call this one hay. Not to be confused with 'hey'! Just for your information. I love the simplicity of the single hay bale in a field.
