Memento Mori - Album Cover

Memento Mori - Album Cover Final
This artwork was done as a cover for an album by Seeing Seven. The actual album can be found on Amazon and on Apple Music. Majority of the work was done in Photoshop.
Memento Mori Sketch
Pencil sketch of the main character.
Mori Half Portrait
Another painting of the character done in Photoshop as part of the comission.
Memento Mori - Printed
The actual album cover and CD after completion, comfortably resting on the tablet they were drawn on. I was happy with this result, one of the rare comissions I took.

Steel Inquisitor Sketch

Steel Inquisitor
Steeel inquisitors are characters from the Mistborn series of books written by Brandon Sanderson. This is a pencil drawing that was modified in Photoshop but never really finished, last updated sometime in 2011. I did like this fantasy book series, Sanderson has a way of drawing you in and keeps the action going. I made a few other sketches related to this series.

Steampunkette - Comic Book cover 2010

Steampunkette
This digital paining was also done for a Character of the Week challenge at conceptart.org sometime in 2010. I specifically went for a style that you might find on the front of a comic book with this project.
At the time I made this artwork I actually pushed quite a few areas which were way outside of my comfort zone. The character was inspired by Ballistic from Top Cow / Image Comics. I'm not even sure if I was going for that at the time, but when I look at this drawing a decade later all I see is Cassandra Taylor, haircut and bionic arm! I totally failed at the steampunk theme, but I created something cool!

Magus

Magus
This drawing of a Mage character was done for one of the Character of the Week challanges at conceptart.org sometime in early 2010. Pencil sketch painted over in Photoshop.
