Magicka Character

I loved the game Magicka. Can't recommend it enough. Such a wild and unexpectedly cool game back in the day with some really neat little mage characters that have unlimited magic power. This is my take on a character fromt he game. I made this drawing sometime towards the end of 2013 and it was all done in Photoshop.

Alpha

This is a drawing made in 2006 or 2007 that was painted over digitally, and updated yet again in 2024. It's actually a drawing I had lost over the years, I could not locate the PSD file for this work, but found a low res image online on one of my other sites. The character is from the Eternal Seven story.

Pencil Portraits and Sketches from 2012

This cute little guy was about 1 (one) inches wide by 1 (one) inches tall when I drew him. Nailed it!

Again, anotehr tiny pencil sketch portrait, inspired by the Skyrim forsworn characters.

This blindfolded portrait was slightly altered digitally.

Pencil sketch of a mug, was just trying to get the lighting right.

Last but not least, this was anotehr tiny sketch, inspired by the game Magika. If you haven't tried this game, the OG one, I highly recommend it. Lots of fun!

Dragon Rises Pencil Sketch

This is a tiny pencil sketch made in 2012.

Mixed Media Girl Painting

2007 was the year I really started experimenting with digitally painting over my traditional drawings. This is an approach I still use more than a decade later and here is one of my earliest attempts at it. This was a pencil drawing that was painted over in Photoshop.

Figure Study 2 - 2008

This is another figure study drawing done for practice in 2008, used photograph as a reference.

This is a figure study of a model from a photograph done for practice in 2008, all digital.

Demon - Pencil Drawing from 2009

Yup, made this in 2009, still one of my favs.

The character is a lesser demon from the Eternal Seven storyline.

Drake Rider

This is an old pencil drawing from 2009, which was painted over digitally.

I touched up this artwork in 2024, mostly bringing it into focus, making some slight color adjustments. I still love the way this drawing turned out, so many years later.

Ink Portrait Sketches

These are sketchies from 2014 done for practice.

Bar Refaeli Portrait

Digital portrait painting done in 2010 for practice. Years later, Bar Refaeli still looks amazing.

Rudolph's Nose is Red for a Reason!

Yes, it's red because he rips faces off!

Merry Christmas card from 2011!

Demon Wing

Ink sketch from 2011, which has been modified in Photoshop to give it a more 3D look.

Sorry

This is my interpretation of a character from the Malazan Empire series of books by Steven Erikson. The story begins with Sorry, also known as Apsalar, and she indeed becomes a massively powerful character as the story progresses.

Acid

This is a creature I designed as part of a challenge on conceptart.org with the prompt "Deaf, Blind, Acid Spitter." The idea I had about the creature is that it really wasn't blind despite not having eyes. The spikes on its head are hollow and function similar to antennas, such that they can pick up vibrations. The creature is able to sense the vibrations around it and actually have a very good sense of its surroundings. This creature is not actually too large, but is extremely fast and dangerous. Its sharp teeth and claws can shred flesh instantly, and the acid spewing, spike covered bulge on the tip of its tail is a weapon able to crush hard targets and inflict acid and deadly toxins into the bloodstream.

This started as a pencil drawing in 2011, which was then painted over. This was also a pivotal drawing for me, as it caused me to leave the CG Society website. This website was a great resource, but as I went to post this article into my profile it was not allowed because of of the admins there was a royal cnt and had it out for me. Rather than try to seek clarificaiton I just left the website and never looked back. I did see the entire portal went down recently, hope the worst for that admin. For anyone who was around that website, you can probably guess who I'm talking about.

Anime Twinblade Girl Design

This was a character I designed and drew sometime in 2012. I'm not good at this art style, haven't really studied it either. However, I like the way this turned out. It's not meeting the initial goal, but looks cool! I believe this did start as a pencil drawing that was painted over digitally.

Dragon Attack

Pencil sketch from 2008 which was painted over in Photoshop. It was one of my first "epic" dragon paintings. Doesn't look so hot now, but I loved it at the time.

Hellguard

This is a pencil sketch that got painted over in Photoshop, made sometime in 2008. At the time I made this it was among my better illustrations and showcased my level as an artist. When I look back at it now there are many things I would change. Maybe this just needs to be redone!

However, this drawing was a huge step up for me in may regards. First off it was inspired by the work of an artist who went on to work for Blizzard. While making this illustration I feel like I actually learned a lot, even though it didn't necessarily translate to a better artwork.

This is also one of my first images I started doing WIPs for.
