The Castle in the Sand

Sat, 02 Jun 2007 00:34:19 +0000

This piece was done for a film project in the works. The main characters have just come upon a large sand castle in this scene. I kept it loose and conceptual, mostly establishing the feel and mood of the setting, with some indication of the design direction they could take. Hope you like it!

The Long Journey Home...

Tue, 08 May 2007 03:30:25 +0000

Here's one I did today completely in Photoshop. I just began sketching, and this is what came of it. I was playing with a different lighting style, and wanted to do a little lost and found throughout the piece.

This was lots of fun, as this isn't what I usually do from day to day. I hope you enjoy it!

The Control Room

Here's an image I did just recently. It's an old abandoned structure. This was a fun one to do, mainly because I really played around with different textures and messed with the water's reflections a bit. Hope you enjoy it!

Sleep, sleep cat of the night...

This is a depiction of a dark futuristic street...somewhat old and gritty, and also other-worldly as well. On the far right is a lone cat...the only life in the piece! Please click to see the larger piece, as this is quite long and small for the eyes...This was good fun, and I hope you enjoy it!

The Discovery

Thu, 03 May 2007 08:13:03 +0000

Here's an image I did for an upcoming project. It's a depiction of one of the main characters discovering a key artifact, which has been tampered with before he had arrived. Notice the overturned chairs and bullet holes on the wall...someone has beaten him to a key element inside the object on the right. I hope you enjoy it!

Oh, and my website is fresh and updated, so have a look if you're inclined. More images to come soon!

Scarcely sustained by air and by dreams...

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 00:32:27 +0000

I did this piece for an upcoming film project in the works. It's a Chinese inspired temple where the heroes must go to discover a hidden treasure that will help them on their quest...I can't give too much away, sorry! This took about a day or two at most. I'm not totally sure, because I had to work on it off and on. Let me know what you think!

Alexandria--The Second Chamber

Fri, 02 Feb 2007 06:26:34 +0000

Here's my EON entry for illustration. This is a depiction of Alexandria, with the explorers just coming upon the view of it for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

Deco City-grand Space Opera

Wed, 23 Feb 2005 17:50:06 +0000

I decided to post this one here, although you've all probably seen this one before. This was my GSO entry, and it's a sort of deco inspired futuristic city. I wanted to keep that nostalgic feel with this one. Any comments or critiques are much appreciated.
