The movie release for this was really poorly done. These books were great when I was a kid and actually still are. I’m taking it upon myself to design the property the way I would like to see it. Just a fun side project to pass the late nights.

Upon suggestion from a buddy I did this piece for my reel to bring things to a bit more polish than is possible working in games. It was a lot of fun especially after doing the 2D piece. The traditional stuff helps so much and applies to everything. The biggest advantage is [...]

Aloha!! So I haven’t tried a full on painting in acrylics like this ever. And tonight from a brief conversation found out I need to look into the uses of a badger brush as well as a spray bottle (other than getting in a water gun fight with my nieces). I shall [...]

Planning a traditional painting of this one so wanted to solve a bunch of value problems first. It is so relaxing to do these things, I think ten years ago the reason I couldn’t get these done is I was way too hyper. Drawing from life in the sketchbooks suited me then. [...]
