A skateboard with my original art now on Zazzle.com!  This artwork is inspired by Diablo III and it's awesome monsters.  This board is not by Blizzard - just my fan art.

MAUI

Here are a few quick sketches I did in gouache and water color on my vacation in Maui. I had so many activities planned, but I made sure to get a little time to do some quick little paintings.

I SMASH U!

I dont know. just sketching

fish grill

Desert 'speedscape'

I'd love to do one picture of this quality per day. I get bonus points today for being really tired and still doing one in 25 minutes at midnight.

Oil Sketch

I was able to actually go inside of the historic Tustin Airfield hangars! I have wanted to see these up close since I moved down to California almost 5 years ago. Blizzard gave a few of us a chance to finally enter the property, see the inside and we got a small chunk of time to paint!  It was fun.

25 minute speedscape

   I used to do lots of 1/2 hour studies. this is a 20 minute sketch maybe I can get back into the habit of doing these more often.

hunter

One of my first more serious fantasy art sketches happened in my collective of meetings today. Sadly it was a lot of listening today, but it provided a forum for some decent sketch time. Yeah it's stereotypical and maybe on the verge of boring, but it's a step in the right direction.

Jennifer

Missed out on drawing this great model the other day, so I picked a digital picture to sketch. Will re-post when complete, but posting this for now keeps me motivated to finish some personal work during a busy schedule.

Skeleton Queen?

This is a sketch of mad King Leoric's wife from Diablo III.  It's unofficial and just fan art, but I wanted to make her rad and scary.  I'm hoping to get around to painting it soon, but I'm kinda busy working on the game :)

Zombie Proof Pans!

            

                  Tried to get an older feeling poster vibe going on with this little sketch.

Beach Study

I started this study and decided to put about 1.5 hours into it.  I love the beach out here, hopefully I can paint on site more in the near future, but for now this is a study of a photo I took by Laguna Beach.

World of Warcraft Trading Card work (2)

I have recently done a few more art pieces for World of Warcraft's Trading Card Game.  These are a few of my latest - the large one is a different format because it's a "Hero" card.  It gets published larger.  I would never dream up this content on my own, so it's pretty interesting to work on.  These are of course all copy protected by Blizzard Entertainment.

Head Study

I typed the word 'face' into google tonight and found this image.  I enjoyed doing a head study over about 40 minutes. It's a drawing of Anne Hathaway, (digital painting I guess) who was selected to play Catwoman! ...could be pretty cool if she looks dark enough... her roll in 'Rachel Getting Married' gives me hope! also I couldn't stand Halle Berry as Catwoman, but Michelle Pfeiffer held her own for a blondey!

faces

Just some faces I've done in the last little while

exploding tree monster

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.

Future girl

this was a quick sketch for a project that I didn't end up working on

Old sketches

Along with the few figures below, I rounded up some sketches from a while back.

Old figure drawings

A few of these old drawings never made it to the blog, enjoy.

i need a break

haha. nothing to say about this.

Sketch

Just a quick sketch from a meeting at Blizzard.

My new pup

This is Chula my new pup. She is my partner in crime - keeps me company in the office while I draw.

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

My n00bz toy is finally available for sale!

I'm not sure when this happened, but I was informed today that the Blizzard N00bz toy design I created began selling at the company store. WOOT! (link below)

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.

Napa Valley

I decided to try my hand at a speed-scape once again. It's been a while and I'm rusty - hopefully I can keep a few of these coming and tighten up the old skills. (35 mins)

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:
