Imagine FX Issue 72 DVD Feature

Today I got my copy of Imagine FX issue number 72 the issue in which I am on the dvd. This issue was released in the US on August 11th so I am a bit behind with letting everyone know. But I wanted to see the issue first to know for sure that I was in it. And low and behold I am.

So if you can I say go pick up this issue it has a lot of awesome stuff in it and of course the cover is done by the great Bobby Chiu.

Shadowrun - Spy Games: Instructions

This piece entitled Instructions is the other illustration I had done for Shadowrun's book Spy Games.

As I had said in a previous post this is my first ever professional Ork and it was so exciting to do.

I was really happy with this one and I hope you guys like it.

Shadowrun - Spy Games: Accident

This piece entitled Accident was done for the Shadowrun book Spy Games. It is one of two pieces I did for the book.

And as I had said before, I will now be uploading lots of new things and this is just the first part of it.

So expect a lot more soon.

Sorry I Have Been Gone so Long but Here's Why....

Hey everybody long time no see. I was planning on posting some new work awhile ago but out of nowhere I got hit with so much stuff. Some extremely good and others really REALLY bad.

First of all I went on a small vacation to Florida to visit that family. It was great got to spend a lot of time with friends and family that I rarely get to. In fact I spent ALL my time with them. Which while great left little time for much else. I was able to get sketches done on some assignments, but not much else, thus the lack of posting.

While in Florida my mom insisted on going to Busch Gardens and HARRY POTTER WORLD!!!!!!!! And by that I mean Islands of Adventure. Which the trip there was amazing. I got lots of souvenirs including my own fancy new wand. And as you can see from the picture here we all got some fancy wands. You can see my mom on the end there.

That was the "good" for my trip as far as the "bad" that happened on my return home. I was stricken with another bad stomach attack, bad enough even to send me to the hospital. Fortunately this time they figured out what was wrong. I had gallstones. And now I have to schedule a surgery to have my gallbladder removed. Not fun times especially considering my sudden change in diet. All in all though not too bad and this will cure my reoccurring attacks.

As you can see after all this hecticness it has been quite hard to get back in the posting rhythm. Fortunately I am back and do have all fun new goodies to share so expect them soon. And this time I mean it.

Shadowrun - Spy Games STUDIES PART 2

Here is the study for the second piece I did for Shadowrun's book Spy Games.

This piece is called Accident and well it isn't so much an accident as someone getting intentionally run over. Ahh vehicular homicide good times.

This is just the study so expect to see the finish for it posted here soon.

Shadowrun - Spy Games STUDIES PART 1

After a much long absence I can finally start showing some of my recent work. First up is the work I did for Catalyst Game Labs RPG Shadowrun. I did two pieces for their book Spy Games and this is the study for the first image I worked on (I want to have more stuff to show you guys so I will be uploading in parts, expect the finishes to come soon).

This piece is called instructions and it depicts an Ork receiving a note of instructions (get it? like the title of the piece) from a hidden compartment of a wall.

Also this was my first professional Ork and I was seriously geeking out about that it was awesome.

Expect a more in depth post when I get to the finish. Which WILL be along very very shortly. Hopefully though you shall enjoy seeing this bit.

ImagineFX Image of the Day

So apparently on April 6th my image The End of a Legend was selected as the image of the day on ImagineFX's website. Sadly I did not find out about this until just now. But either way this is so freaking awesome. I was so excited to hear the news. If you are interested in seeing the original piece on the ImagineFX website here is the link. The people at ImagineFX are truly awesome, I thank them so much for this great honor.

L5R Sneak Peek #4

Here is the forth installment of my studies for L5R. As per usual I can not reveal too much about the card itself but I can tell you that this one is for the next base set for Legend of the Five Rings.

This piece turned out really well. I went to an insane amount of detail compared to my norm. I can not wait for you guys to see this one I am really proud of it.

L5R Sneak Peek #3

After a bit of delay in posting this here it is the third installment of my studies for L5R. As per usual I can not reveal too much about the card itself but I can tell you that this one is for the next base set for Legend of the Five Rings.

Also since I was a bit delayed with posting this today there will be a special double sneak peek. So look out for that other one later today.

L5R Sneak Peek #2

This is my L5R sneak peek #2.

These are the studies I did for my second card for L5R. As before I can not give any more information than that. I will tell you I had a lot of fun painting the finish with this one. I played with some colors that I do not normally do.

I hope though that you enjoy seeing my studies and look forward to seeing my finishes once the cards are printed.

Also expect another batch of sneak peeks soon.
