first contact

At 23:47 exploration ship the Sagan made contact. the first with an extraterrestrial life form.
After a garbled transmission all communication stopped. at 00:00 there was one last transmission. initially thought to be white noise, upon later inspection it was in fact the astronauts screaming. 

Vikings Invade

Concept art for the next project I'm working on. I love history (as you probably know) and depicting it so I'm really exited to start working on it. I'm trying to be as accurate to history as i can so no horns on these vikings.  there are also no style restrictions this time so i can stretch my legs stylistically so to speak. 

speed paint blarg

Some speeds before I do my real work or moving things around on a screen.  I'm trying to do at least one of these things a day but finding the right subject matter is a pain. then again i should just suck it up and paint anyway.

Assemble!

So long time no posting. man this painting took far too long to make. But I figured if I was going to do some fanart other than batman I might as well go head first. I like the idea that even though the avengers are this bad ass team when they have to team up its for something incredibly bad and impossible. so seeing them only just about get through and almost die in the process is something i find interesting instead of  just blazing through without a scratch. just the more battle worn look.
I'm still figuring out my process to define myself as a painter. i'm still not completely satisfied with this one but i think I'm getting there.
