Styracosaurus

1 hour quickie for the day.

Toa of Air

Feeling a bit old school this week. Lewa has always been my favorite Bionicle Toa, both from a design standpoint and as a character. I got out my old friend, assembled him, photographed for reference, and within a few hours he came to life on my desktop. I decided to go with a design that was faithful to the toy but with a few liberties (more individual pieces and moving parts than the plastic version). Let me know what you guys think in the comments below!

Sneak Peek

Stay tuned folks!

Surfin'

Took a few moleskin sketches and made them awesome.











Climbin' bonus!

Anthony and the Dinosaurs

This series is supposed to be a personal narrative. Since I didn't have access to my baby pictures or a time machine I had my little brother stand in for me. I have a few more image ideas I'd like to try if I come back to this story again. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

I ♥ Robot

I love drawing robots just as much as dinosaurs. I especially love creating mechanical marvels with an organic edge. There is something so musically visceral about these guys you can almost hear the clanks, whirs, and whistles as you draw.









I guess I have much to thank for my love of these bucket o' bolts. Doug Chiang comes to mind, especially his remarkable work on ROBOTA. His trademark of placing technology within exotic, organic environments was really inspirational to me. I highly recommend you check out his old site here.

When I was younger I was also a huge fan of the early Lego BIONICLE line. The story gripped me becuase of this combination of robot warriors living on an organic, tribal island. I started out with the "bones" and worked my way up from there. I want to try some more stuff with these guys in the future-- maybe a more sketchy, conceptual look in my own unique style.



















I also tried my hand at a style very similar to the amazing duo that is Creature Box. These guys add so much energy to their work, resulting in the most awesome, comical, and original characters yet. You can check out Dave Guertin and Greg Baldwin's work here.

Back to the Dinosaurs

Just got back into drawing dinos again-- boy, I sure did miss these guys! Here's a preview of things to come!

Some Old Stuff

Hey everyone! So I finally got around to creating a blog and putting up some of my art work! I thought I'd first put up some of my personal favorites. These are all done using Corel Painter X. I hope you all enjoy!
