princess of something

I drew this because I see stuff like it around and I like the style.  Think i'll throw some color on it soon.

My Oldest Sketches

I found these 2 pictures... I think that they are the oldest drawings I have record of.  It was 1984 so that would make me about 7 years old.  I loved drawing motorcycles out of my dad's dealer pamphlets.

Sport Fan PANDA!

This happened in our lunch sketch group today.  Maybe it's all the talk about football season going on right now, or maybe i just wanted to draw bears.

World of Warcraft Trading Cards art

These are 2 of the first WoW trading cards I did for WOW TCG (world of warcraft trading card game). I'm currently working on my fourth one. I really enjoy painting these - relaxing at home doing art. artwork copyright Blizzard Entertainment 2009

Girl in progress

Work in progress, I liked this phase of the head so I put it up here.

Space Station

We had the theme of rural space life in our sketch group tonight at work. I made this station somewhat related to the shape of a jelly fish.

1st sketch on New Cintiq

I'm really tired and it's been a very long work week, but I just got my new cintiq and had to do a sketch to make sure it's real! I've been saving up for a long time- so excited to get more art in!

old man head sketch

Did a quick sketch of an old man's head in alias sketchbook this morning.

Blizzard Sketch Group

A few co-workers and I do a sketch group from time to time after work to keep ourselves drawing. This week the reference ranged from old russian color photos, to howitzer guns and aardvarks. I went for a pretty literal mix of the three. Here's the result (Colored at home after)

Iain McCaig @ Blizzard!!

Wow - so this was a monumental day at Blizzard. We sometimes have guest artists come and present a lecture or demo. I was amazed today to be in the presence of Ian McCaig (yeah he concepted Darth Maul and Princess Amidala- a couple small accomplishments). He gave an amazing demo and encouraged us to sketch while he did. The amazing part is that Brom (amazing dark fantasy artist) works for Blizzard sometimes too and we got to watch Ian sketch Brom! whoa. Here are a few of my junky sketches from during it and top right is a quicky of Brom.
