Boingz



Hey ya'll. so I have a new game coming out soon on the Nintendo Wii. It's a Wiiware game which means you buy it online when you plug your wii into the internet. The game is called Boingz and it's alot of fun. I was the concept artist on this project so just about everything you see on the screen I designed. I didn't build it or animate it, but I did draw it all up. Since it's so close to being released I can finally reveal some of the artwork I did for this project. My wife thinks this is some of my best stuff. Most of the art I did involved objects that would populate the background which isn't normally something I like doing, but this world was so weird. It was fun to design a whole Dr. Suessian world. any how, enjoy. there's plenty more of these on the way.

by the way, it seems that everyone liked the first turkey the best. I'm painting him up as we speak. I'll bring it in to show you guys a work in progress shot.

Turkeys



Hey ya'll. Just doing some doodling the last couple days and ended up drawing a couple turkeys. My wife would like me to paint a turkey so that we can put it up for a thanksgiving decoration. So I thought I would let you guys decide. I'm going to do one of these two, so which one will it be. Leave some comments and tell me which one of these you'd rather see painted. Enjoy.

Silas


In the story the young boy is raised by the ghosts of the graveyard. Someone still has to go out into the world and get food and clothing for the boy. That job fell to Silas. He is the caretaker of the graveyard, and he provides food and whatever other physical necessities are necessary.
Enjoy.

Graveyard Book


Recently I read a really really awesome book, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I absolutely loved it. It's about a boy who is orphaned as a small baby and subsequently raised in a graveyard by all the ghosts and what not that live there. It was so much fun that I decided to design some characters from the book as practice. This first one is Mr. Owens. When the young boy is first brought to the graveyard the Owenes are the ones to adopt the small child. Plenty more of these to come. enjoy.

Dino's!



I was finally able to sit back a just do a bunch of art this weekend and it felt really good. Mostly did alot of sketching just to loosen myself up. It was nice to sit and draw stuff that wasn't work related and that I could show around. I did these dino sketches Saturday night and I liked the stegosaurus so much I decided to have some fun and paint him up on sunday. The painting went really quick and only took me 2-3 hours. I need to do more stuff like this. Enjoy.
