So, not that either of these characters are related in any way other than the fact they’re both Marvel properties, but I’m posting them together because they were gifts for my brother, who I just visited this weekend. Knowing he was/is a huge comic book fan, I wanted to give him some personalized art as a much belated Christmas present. By his request, the characters he wanted were Dr. Doom and Scarlet Witch (having just failed to win the lottery on repeated attempts). They were a ton of fun to do and I always love doing commissions for people, so I wanted to share them. Hope you like them!

I was asked to do a screen-print poster design for the new Tomb Raider game, which was particularly exciting to tackle since I’d been looking forward to this release over the past year or so. I decided to highlight the landscape and the island rather than a specific character since it’s hazards are a character themselves and help to define Lara this time around.

You can see all 17 designs of the great posters by an amazing roster of illustrators here:

I’ve also attached the preliminary composition and value study I did.

Did a character design piece inspired by the new look of Cyclops from the most recent upstart of the Uncanny X-Men.

Last night I was contacted by the great Ivan Brandon and Chuck BB about possibly doing some coloring work for a comic they are working on. After some discussion, I had a hand at coloring an inked character sketch he had sent me of the story’s protagonist. “Deathface”. It was an incredibly fun process and it was great to see the two versions, inked and colored, placed alongside each other. Here’s to hoping for a great future partnership!

The left hand illustration is all Chuck BB’s work. The right hand image is my coloring job to his character design.

This is a piece I made for an upcoming gallery show based on yakuza film-inspired art show entitled BATTLES WITHOUT HONOR AND HUMANITY after the film of the same name. It will be held at Floating World Comics in Portland, OR! I initially created more action oriented concepts, but after having researched more and reflected deeply on their overall principles, I decided to focus on the more quiet route of the Yakuza’s everyday existence amongst the average community members. The part that intrigued me was the fact they consider themselves more business men than criminals, much like the Mafia crime syndicate.

Also, since it’s hard to see here and I thought it looked cool on its own, I’ve included the three step process I took to make the faded figure in the background. This is also representative of a method in which I’ve been working lately. I will make the initial drawing on bristol paper, but then I will ink various segments of the same image on separate layers of vellum or tracing paper. This allows me to make alterations and adjustments on size or placement while I’m in the digital process. It will also be a necessary portion of a long-term project I’ll be working on at my company dobot, which is a design company that my friend and I have started. You will be seeing this name alongside mine on many future products. Find out more here!

In preparation for the upcoming Heroes Con, I made this pin-up-esque/comic cover piece. I had asked around for various suggestions of characters people would like to see me tackle, and I really loved the idea of Batwoman since I’ve been a huge fan of the recent series and of J.H.Williams III’s art, which is just amazing. However, my take is more of the Bruce Timm and Darwyn Cooke style of character, who is a bit more abstracted. I’ve decided to include the black and white version as well since I used it to check my values throughout the process, and really fell in love with the more noire-like tone it presented. That being said, enjoy and I hope to see you at Heroes Con this upcoming June!
