Well, here he is in all of his brutal glory. Hope you enjoy it.

The Ork - The next step

 

Another Work-in-progress shot of the Ork image I am working on. This is very time-consuming, with all of the little details I'm putting in. Everything has a bump or crater in it. Lots of shadows and highlights to make things look weathered. Threw a little color in there with the Red across the chestplate. Pretty happy with how this is turning out. 

Ork painting in progress...

Hey, everyone. Currently working on a digital painting in Painter IX. I've always wanted to work for Wizards of the Coast or some of the other Role Playing companies. I've decided to put together some kick-ass fantasy pieces to add to my portfolio. I really don't know much about Warhammer 40k, but after doing a little online research, I decided my first piece would be of an Ork. It kinda fits my style, don't you think?
I started this image by drawing my sketch in a dark brown color, then added color on top with a new layer set to "multiply". Then, for the brighter highlights, I opened a new normal layer.
So, in the first image up there you can see some of the detail work that I started with on the face. I usually throw in the darks first, then pop in the highlights. The lower image, shows my progress as I finished up the helmet and moved down to the spiky shoulder armour.
So, hopefully this piece turns out nice. I will keep adding Work-in-progress shots as I go along. Any questions, just leave a comment or shoot me an email.
See ya!

Pink & Punk Doggie type thing

Lately, I've just been painting and drawing whatever I want. No pressure on myself. Trying to keep a loose style and not worry too much about how perfect it is.

I plan to do many more loosely painted nudes like this. Maybe one day, I'll make some prints based on this type of art.

On a side note...







I hate winter.

The Chieftain

Another piece added to my portfolio. Created using Painter IX and a touch of Photoshop at the end (for a little color correction). Doing these images, gets me warmed up for the next Demonwolf issue. Right now, working on the pencils for issue 2 of 6. Stay tuned.
I am in the process of submitting the series to existing publishers. I need a company that has a good market presence and international distribution. Wish me luck.

New Art

I painted this one in Painter IX. Just a dark and screaming Dragon-type creature. Always fascinated by the different Dragon designs that artists come up with.

Saw Avatar yesterday and was completely blown away. What a beautifully designed film. I want to live on Pandora. I hear that James Cameron is going to do 2 sequels. Cool. If you haven't seen it yet, you've got to see it in 3D. Amazing. You know a movie is good, if you are sad that it's over. I'd like to pick up the Art of Avatar book to see the concept art.

Until next time,
