The Acolyte

Drawing of an Eternal Seven character from 2023.

Protoss Sketch

This is a concept art sketch of a creature from Starcraft. The original pencil sketch was made in 2007 and here were are in 2025 I finally finished it! He had hands for feet which I had to get rid of.

Modified in Photoshop.

Dragoon

This is concept art for a Dragoon warrior.

Final Fantasy 4, released as 2 in the US, is one of my favorite games of all time, and Kain Highwind was my favorite character in the game. His story arc was unexpected, and I loved how powerful he could become by the end of the story.

Oh how simple life was back in those Final Fantasy II days...

While this drawing is not meant to represent Kain, this is a similar type of spear-wielding, high-flying warrior. It may not be obvious but it's actually a woman in the drawing. Maybe a descendant of Kain, or just a fellow Deist Dragoon...

The original ink sketch was made sometime in 2021, and largely remained forgotten. In September 2025 I came back to it and spent quite a bit of time polishing the design and sketch. It was fun putting this together and I do like the end results.

Koloss Sketches from 2012

Koloss are creatures from the Mistborn series of books. These are giant modified humanoids who have grown to such massive proportions their skin is tearing in places as they become larger, the skin is blue in color, implying the humans used to create them may now be undead. There are armies of them serving the Lord Ruler, posing an existential threat to the main characters in the story.

Both of these pencil sketches were made in 2012 while I was reading Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy. Both drawings were modified in Photoshop, but you can still see their pencil origins. I have wanted to do a bigger painting featuring the Koloss in more detail, hopefully some day soon!

Other Mistborn Artowrks:

Queen of Pentacles - Doomsday Dream Clan

The many meanings of the Queen of Pentacles tarot card.

This is another drawing from the archives.

Originally the concept sketch was made in 2010 when I was on a team of artists called the Doomsday Dream Clan. We participated in a team challenge in the now dead conceptart.org website. The challenge was to draw cards from a tarot deck and this is one of the cards we selected to paint. The intent was to create a complete deck from the cards drawn by all the different teams of artists who participated in the contest. I do not know if the deck was ever completed, but I know that some stunning work was done during the challenge and some famous pro artists participated in the contest.

This version of the Queen of Pentacles depicted here did not make it into our final work or submission, but was instead an original concept done by me when we first started to get some ideas. In August 2025 I decided to push this concept to a more complete state and this is the result. I have been meaning to go back and post our completed works from the Doomsday Dream Clan on a separate subsection of this website.

This project was a lot of fun to work on, and I do think we did some really good work. I honestly think that I did my best work while working with other artists. Maybe now it doesn't look so impressive, but in 2010 this was the peak of my ability. After we completed the challenge the complete lack of votes from the community was totally demoralizing. It was another showcase of how popularity skewed perspective and affected the voting results. I'm not saying we should have won, but we were close and our entries were very unique. I suffered a few years of burnout after this challenge completed where I didn't draw very much.

Burnout is a common thing for many artists and the causes may be different. For me usually art comes in waves, or as I like to call them "dumps", where I push and improve massively over a few weeks or months, but then have to take a few years to pull back and gather more energy for the next push. I'm now old, and I wish I had spent more time and effort in improving early as an artist.

The end is coming soon, maybe like most artists my work will be more valued after I'm dead. Cheers to that!

Starship Test Sketch from 2007

This is way outside the normal stuff I draw, but it was early on in my digital art career and I hope I can be forgiven!

Concept/drawing was made in 2007.

Witch - Character Design from 2019

This is a character from the Eternal Seven story. The original ink drawing was made in 2019. Painted over and fleshed out in 2025.

Blue Dragon

This is a recent ink sketch which has been digitally modified. This sketch was not very well planned out, I was just scribbling on a piece of paper, trying to get the blue ink flowing from a pen that had not been used for years. At some point a wild dragon appeared! Done in April 2025.

Nibru - Character Design from 2009/2010

This has been a theme lately with my art. As I've stood this website to showcase some of my art I've been going through some really OLD stuff. This particular drawing was started back in 2010, but at first I couldn't remember the details as to why I even started it. I knew it wasn't my character, if nothing else due to the name. I started searching online and found THIS POST by nJoo on DeviantArt... and oh the memories flooded back. This was almost a meme on conceptart.org, as some random person posted a request to have his character drawn. If you've been on art community websites this is a constant occurrence, which normally results in everyone ignoring it. However, in this particular instance, EVERYONE took a stab at designing the character based on the brief, including some famous artists like the one I linked to. I also decided to do it, but never finished the image. Last night as the memories of this event came back I decided to just push the piece a bit more and get it polished up as I liked some of the things I'd done in that sketch.

And here's the WIP. The entire thing, including the original sketch, were done in Photoshop. Cheers!

Sword Hand

This is a drawing from 2009. At the time I made this drawing I was a member of a team on conceptart.org which was called Doomsday Dream Clan, and we were in the midst of trying to participate in a team challenge. One of our team members was a young kid whose online handle was "Sword Hand" and I made this drawing in his honor. A reference of Adriana Lima was used for the face, but outside of that it was made up. Now about 15 years later I stumbled upon the original drawing while browsing my old archive and had to touch it up. If any of my old teammates stumble upon this, hit me up, miss you guys!

Soul Catcher - Black Company

This is a drawing depicting my take on Soul Catcher, one of the iconic characters in the Black Company series of fantasy books by Glen Cook. This character starts out as a mystery, and as you progress through the book you find out more about them. One of the terrifying powers Catcher has is the ability to mimic anyone's voice. I love the Black Company series, the characters, the way the story is told from the perspective of the weak, the journeys the company goes through, the triumphs and tragedies... I highly recommend it. This series has served as an inspiration for art and other famous authors were also inspired by the story.

This ballpoint pen ink sketch was made in 2019.

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.

Orc Concept Pencil Sketch

This is a pencil drawing from 2008. He might not be the prettiest, but he is a very good boy!

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.

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 becomes a major character as the story progresses.

Morgis the Dragon Knight

Back in the day I used to read quite a lot of fantasy. Years ago it was normal for me to get on a stair-mill in the gym, crack a novel open, and do slow burn cariod for hours while reading away. Sadly this habit has gone away. I rarely do stairmill now, and usually spend time on the treadmill these days. Running is much harder for me though, and I can't read while doing that, nor can I last as long even at a slow pace...

This is a pencil drawing I made in 2012, of a character from a novel by Richard Knaak which is part of a the Legends of the Dragonrealm series. I vaguely remember bits and pieces from these novels, probably need to read the books again to get the details. What was really interesting to me regarding this particular series were the dragons and some of their abilities. The ruling dragons had distinct elemental abilities, and one of the outcast dragon kings was Blue who I believe was an ice dragon. In the series, some dragons could transform into humanoids. They were still dragons, just looking like giant heavilty armored knights. Years later, I don't remember as to why the dragons did those transformations, perhaps to help them make themselves more relatable to the humans. I did find Morgis the Dragon Knight character interesting enough to draw him though. He appears in some of the earlier books, and later becomes a major character in one of the books. Very powerful, if I remember correctly Morgis was actually a son of Blue, and there was a failed love angle in his story that did not have a happy ending. I like it when some endings aren't happy...

Either way, this drawing has been slightly tweaked in Photoshop, but not to the usual extent I like to paint over my sketches. It is actually fairly large drawing, much larger than the usual format for my sketches. I did intend to paint over it, but as with many of my failed paintings, never got around to it.

Forkrul Assail - Sister Calm

This is a digital painting concept art of a member of the Forkrul Assail race of humanoid creatures described in the Malazan Empire series by Steven Erikson.

At the time I made this drawing I would consider it one of my more polished up character designs. Really enjoyed working on her.

Bowling Cocks

This was painted in 2021 as a logo for a bowling team for one of my friends.

Dryad Queen

This was a digital painting done for one of my favorite art streamers Stumpyfongo. He used to stream a lot in the midst of COVID, and I hung out there quite a bit while trying to do other stuff in the background. This specific drawing was done as part of a Lost Woods challenge, where participants had to draw characters they would find in a deep fantasy forest. I loved it!

The original concept sketch, I settled on the left one.

And here's the WIP GIF.

Terra Branford and Magitek Armored Vehicle - Final Fantasy 6 Fanart

The design of this character, the art, and the story, is simply incredible and one of the most iconic video games ever. Simple perfection! It seems so crazy to me that years later nobody has really reproduced something similar in the video game world.

I made this drawing in 2021 entirely in Clip Studio Paint. Final Fantasy 6 is one of my favorite games of all time. Such a classic...
