The Warrior Spirit
Pencil, Digital
2006
This picture is only a few weeks old, and was the product of an idea that popped into my head about the spirit of an old warrior that roams through the minds of strong-willed people, looking for a new body to inhabit. If he exists, this is what he looks like. I promise. I like the way it came out.
Spider-Man Paint
Acryllic Paints, Pencils
2005
This is the third thing I've seriously painted in my entire life, ever. It was done as a project for my Design & Art Theory class. Although I ran out of time and handed it in while Spidey was still a blur, I wound up finishing it anyway. It was good practice for shading/lighting anatomy, which is where I focused most of my time in this piece.
D-Brad Concept Art
Digital
2004
This is a piece of storyboard art from D-Brad and the Aliens. This is my 'signature' style, a melding of Eastern and Western art culture into a style of my own. Man, do I have to finish this damn game.
Spider-Man Sketch
Ink
2001
This is one of my most painstakingly detailed drawings ever. It is the product of hours upon hours of work. Sweat, blood, and, dare I say it, tears were poured into this heroic drawing of a favorite superhero of mine. I can't believe this picture is five years old.
