World of Warcraft TCG - Lumbering Oaf

Sorry for the lack of posting, everybody!  Though I've got a little bit more -- a card I did last year for the WoW card game.  These are always super fun.  I'm glad I've had the chance to work with these guys.



Green Dragon

Oh, what creativity I display in naming my posts...
Sorry there's been no post in a while, guys.  I humbly offer up this little fellow as an apology.

I do have an excuse, however -- lately I've been in the process of moving over to California, soon to start work as a concept artist at nowhere else but Blizzard Entertainment!  Hopefully when I'm settled I'll be able to be a bit more regular with the updates again.

Skinny Cthulhu

Bit of a speedpaint/sketch.  Your buddy, Cthulhu.

Dragon and Sage - Zbrush Sketches

Been having a bit of Zbrush fun lately.  It's all pretty much just for weekend afternoon giggles, though I'm rather enjoying the design of this fellow, so I may make an attempt at finish.  I could do with a bit of texturing.  It's been too long!

Different angles for the viewing

And another...

This one just hacked into a sphere, obviously, but little faces with a lot of character are exceptionally fun to do.

Phineas J. Hartley Esq.

Some time ago, I was overcome with the urge to do Victorian etching-style pen portraits of animals wearing human clothes.  The result is this: Phineas J. Hartley Esq.  A somewhat ornery Scottish artist-gentleman who spends more of his free time tromping about the highlands than at the Edinburgh University anatomy school where he is at times paid to help record dissections.

He's been sitting in a pad of paper in a corner for about a year, but after a trip to the highlands recently (and seeing one of these deer in the wild for the first time) I was compelled to finish him.

Though you can't really tell from this image, it's quite a big drawing.  For scale reference, and also a preliminary sketch, check after the jump.

The Egg Thief - Completed

A follow up to my previous post, a finished illustration!  It's not from any particular story, but I was hoping to make a picture that was a fairly complex composition with lots of figures, but encapsulates a moment in something that feels like it's got more of a context.  I don't see griffins nearly as much as I'd like to in fantasy paintings, and they're fun sorts of things to draw.

Also took the time to document the process a bit in a video.  Not terribly long, but you'll see I changed my mind a bit about the thieves as I went.  As occasionally happens, I eventually went back to what I'd started with.  A fun piece to do, anyhow!

Click download video.  It's about 5mb.











Cheers, everybody!

Fat Dragon Doodle

Fun little online sketching site!

Dragon!

I realised I hadn't painted any dragons in a while.  Drew this one recently for fun.  Always liked dragons that had a bit of personality in their faces, and wings that look like maybe they could actually work. 

Not really finished, but about as finished as it's likely to get.
