-Release the Hostages-

A bit of acrylic & pencils in the ol' sketchbook to pretend I can still paint "real" art.  Musta been about an hour or less with the white-wash.  From photo.

And here's one for free :

It's Miller Time

There's snow and slush and horror outside and all I can think of is flyin' over to Portsmouth n' ridin' down to Croatia from there...  That being said, here's something I did in 2011 for Modern Combat 3 :
 

Oro of the Lake

Mostly studies and pieces I haven't pushed to a finish recently. Ah well, but here's something with enough work on it to show. More or less a fanciful portrait of local model Oro. Check her out, she's great to work with (the mrs. has done a couple of shoots with her already) : http://www.facebook.com/ORO.malefico.

About half the water ripples are overlays of a few photos, not super happy with that but it was worth a try see.

*hmm. It appears this is showing very very dark on the internet as opposed to photoshop. Again.  This damned problem is haunting me...

Annalee - Bring me their heads

Started out as a quick study at work of Annalee, hadn't done characters in months so when came a lull I figured I should get some practice in before I lose touch.  I came back to it later and added all the medieval-fieryness.

 

Bring me their heads...

I'm on vacation next week ! Thinkin' 'bout drivin' over through Halifax & Louisbourg to L'Anse aux Meadows.  Maybe ride down to Lake Placid later as well.

Pale Riders

Started out as some viking-skull dude and, well flames just happened really.  Boom : the Thirsty Bastard Club.

Legionnaire

Wow, long time no post. Mostly been work, work, football & work lately.

Got recruited into two bands, though that seems rather rhetorical as neither have anything lined-up.  Recently went for a raid through the bookstores and realised, now that I've been working full time as a concept artist, I find myself missing my architecture work a little. Figures... The damned grass a ? Maybe I'll try to rustle-up some contracts on the side.

Assisted on a couple of shoots. Couple of shows from the boys up north, they flew over a band from Belgium for one, pretty good.  Some photo-shoots with Oro Malisani, (great girl) one of which at the Rockchop Shop.

Coaxin' ona my friends into gettin' himself a bike (and his license), with any luck we'll be ridin' down to Connecticut come September.

And in the mean time, here's an alternate-past praetorian-guard type get-up with layering options for the suit :

Web Interview

So I was asked to give an art-related interview for khuantru.com. I ain't handin' out my recipe for eggplant pasta of course, but for those of you who might be in for a quick read you can check it out here :
