Splash

I made this today while helping a friend on some animation. It turned out pretty cool so I thought I'd throw an FX animation post up. I used Flash, one because that's what program the guy needed me to use and two because for effects I think its easier to work with masses of color and shape then to use lines to indicate each edge and detail on something that is constantly moving and morphing around.

Annok the Barbarian in Blue Jeans

I pitched this idea to a producer who visited the school last spring. At the time, I really didn't have any time to put work into it, so it was just sketches mostly but he seemed to like the concept and the fact that I hadn't dedicated too much thought to a storyline. I guess that meant that he/a studio could have professional writers come up with the story which I was fine with because as long as they followed a central theme then they were probably better suited to write the stories than I was. I wonder if that guy is still interested...

Dragons and Robots

Happy New Year everybody! The other blog I participate in started the year with dragon drawings, so thus, this drawing. I thought I would also include a pic of my Warmachine warjack because I post a lot of Warmachine fanart and I'm pretty sure no one knows what I'm talking about. Basically they're these little plastic/metal figures that you and a friend maneuver on a tabletop in a sort of "war game" fashion. Its way fun and you paint your own guys so they're fun to customize. I like the Khador (red) faction because their robots have large flat areas on their armor so I can paint pin-ups on the sides.

Christmas with my Family

Happy Holidays, folks. What I've drawn here is Sinterklass, who is apparently the precursor to Santa Claus and is derived from Odin. That's right, Santa is Odin. Sweet. Below Sinterklass is the Pink Masquerade, a super hero that my sister had me draw up as we watched the Christmas Story. According to her she's packin' super speed, strength, and a talent for assuming the identity of others. Oop! And apparently she's a Leaguer. (She's sitting next to me as I type).

I probably won't post again before the holidays, so I just wanted to wish all of my friends and acquaintances a very Merry Whatever-you-celebrate and say that I couldn't have hoped for such wonderful friends and family. I hope to see much more of you all in the new year.

Sword of Omens

Bustin' out some Thundercats fanart. I wasn't thrilled with the BG so I also did the graphic one (which I personally like better). I am happy with the perspective on our buddy Lion-0.

Malibu Wizard

I had this idea to try to design fantasy characters in a tropical/jungle because most of the time they're in a temperate or colder environment. I started with the wizard and she turned out kinda Gandalf Barbie, but I like her. I hope to go through each of the classes.

Kommander Strakhov

More Warmachine fanart. This is my warcaster of choice, Kommander Strakhov of Khador. The miniature has the gas mask and goggles off but he plays like he has them on (he's immune to gas effects). I'm hoping to get the mini for the holidays (hint, hint).
