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.

skyrim snow

so yes I'm tentatively making gifs on photoshop. more to come once this project and the mcm expo is over.

sanctuary

In the wake of the plague of terrors, millions fled to what little safety they could find. military bases where the best places but they where soon overrun. in the end only a few places remained that could offer legitimate sanctuary. on such place was fort Titus. initially the soldiers and their commanders let anyone in who showed no sign of infection. then only skilled workers then only young women.
the base became a society unto itself where the commanders rule was law. thousands still flocked to fort Titus, but none where let in. they banged at the vaulted doors until they bled but none where let in. eventually the terrors found them there and devoured the refugees encamped outside, still shrieking to be let in. then the soldiers used napalm on everything outside and cleansed the land. occasionally raiding parties venture out from camp Titus. searching for food or weapons or slaves. but nobody is allowed inside.

Lone Tree

so I'm slowly getting over my inability to do architectural landscapes and forms. I think i over did the light beams on this one but i wanted it to have a dramatic quality. again more influence from games like fallout and mccartheys scant but haunting descriptions of the dangerous city scapes from the road.

Scrubland

"near the end. they stopped making stories about the future. they could only envision the end of the world as they knew it."

A Liars Autobiography

at the 1:15 mark you can see the club room backgrounds i designed and made.
this was a massive project that pretty much all of my friends in animation worked on at some
point or another. i cant wait to see it in the cinema!

Random Encounter

So now you're unemployed how are you fending off the madness of being a jobless goon? you ask?
here are some shots from the short story I'm working on called Random Encounter.
its part of a larger story I want to develop around themes of pop culture, video games and comics in general. but for the moment I'm gonna start small.
Issue one will be on sale at the October mcm expo. I plan to make at least three issues a year untill I'm confident in making it in one proper volume. 
Hey. A boy can dream can't e'?
