Re-Paint of Branches
I FINALLY got around to re-painting the face on this illustration. This was one of the first pieces I painted three or four years ago and while I liked it enough to keep it in my portfolio, I was never satisfied with the face or colour palette. I swore I would get around to changing it eventually and that time has finally come. I’m MUCH happier with the piece now. You can see the progression from original to current under the cut.

Illustration Case Study:
Behemoth
My programmer friend asked me to help him by creating some character concepts for an app he’s currently building. Here’s the first behemoth-beast-thing I came up with. This little guy was a fun challenge for me since I typically paint women. Trying to render beefy male anatomy instead of smooth, beautiful skin was really refreshing. I think I might do some more studies like this just for my own enjoyment/study. Brushing up on my anatomy skills would be a good thing.
Process under the cut!

WIP
I haven’t been able to update as much as I’d like because I’ve been too busy with a lot of side-projects including an entire over-haul of this site. 
I hope to launch a brand-spanking-new layout in a month or so. For now I’ll just post this little process image that made it onto some of my other internet haunts, but not here. It’s just an image to show some progression in a portrait I’m working on. Hopefully I find the time to finish the piece!
PHD Poster
Just a quickie Photoshop experiment I completed with some photos from my studio. No real reason behind it… just wanted to mimic that hand-painted movie poster look that Drew Struzan does so well. Didn’t quite get the effect I wanted, but still some interesting results.
Lost Hope
I needed to make a departure from the Sailor Moon fan-art for a new piece. I didn’t go into this painting intending to make something so dreary, but it progressed into this. Painting all those stains and wounds was a great learning process. I had to create some great grunge brushes I’m excited to keep experimenting with.
A few close-ups follow
