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.
After much waiting it is finally out. Issue 68 of Imagine FX where I was extremely fortunate enough to be featured in the FXpose section.
As you can see from the image the pieces that were depicted are Hell Hath No Fury and Wrapped Around Her Finger. And awesomely enough I don't think I have ever seen Hell Hath No Fury print that well.
Also in the article there was a fantastic crit of my work. Which was so awesome to see.
It was such an honor to be featured in IFX. I am still all giddy.

J. S. CHOIThe spectrum results are in and sadly I did not make it in this year. A bit depressing but just motivation for next year.
However awesomely my best buddy J. S. Choi was selected. It is so awesome that she did, I am extremely proud of her. I decided to attach one of her images so you guys can see how great her work is. This is her depiction of Sleeping Beauty.
I also encourage everyone to go check out her blog and her deviantART and see all the awesomeness yourself.
Well now I must get back to the grind stone for even better submissions for next year.
As I had said in a previous post things have been quite busy for me as of late. Getting new gigs and such. One of these gigs being for Catalyst Game Labs' RPG Shadowrun. It has been really awesome to work with them, I thoroughly enjoy Shadowrun.
Unfortunately I am not able to show anything nor give any details about what I am working on. Which does mean it will be awhile before I can update with new work. However be sure that as soon as the books come out in print I will let everyone know so you can see what I have done for Shadowrun.
I know I have not been able to show much of my work as of late but bear with me and soon I will be flooding you with all new work.
EDIT: After posting this Brent Evans the AD for Shadowrun had commented and I just wanted to share what he said. For it was quite awesome and really made my day.
"And just to keep all the suspense percolating I'll just jump in to add his work has been excellent and will be well worth the wait. :0)"
It is really great to hear something like that from your AD.
Today is the big opening for Gallery Provocateur's Frank Frazetta Tribute show. As some of you may already know I was fortunate enough to have my piece Warrior Atop the Snow Covered Peak selected for the exhibition.
Sadly though because of constraints I will not be able to make it to the opening. If anyone happens to be going please let me know how the show goes. And if you are going to be in Chicago for C2E2 you should take a break and stop by the gallery.
Also while there will be a large framed print of my piece for sale in the gallery I will also be selling extra signed prints through the gallery. More information on that can be found at the gallery itself.
I hope anyone who gets a chance to go has a wonderful time. I wish I could be there with you.
As of late things have been really busy. I've had lots of different illustration gigs going on. One of these gigs has been for Alderac Entertainment Group's card game Legend of the 5 Rings or L5R.
While I can not show any finishes nor give any specific information as the sets have not yet been released. I am allowed to show you some of the studies I have been working on. Thus I shall be periodically posting new studies in the upcoming weeks.
The image here is the first set of studies that I did for L5R.
Hope you enjoy and keep a look out for more.
I have been extremely busy as of late and unfortunately have not been able to work on my worm illustration. Thus I figured this was a good opportunity to show some of my preliminary sketches and such that I worked up.
The sketch at the top of the sketch page was a simple drawing I did for fun in my sketchbook while I was watching my friend play Magna Carta. Which is an awesome game by the way. The sketch at the bottom is a more refined idea that went on to become the final drawing.
The other image is of a small sculpt I made for the final painting. As you can see in the picture I used a small flashlight to help me get the lighting that I will need for the fireball coming out of its mouth.
Hopefully I will get some time soon to finish up this piece. As soon as I do I will make sure to post it.
I know I had linked to this before but I thought I would upload it anyway. This is the full version of the card that FFG had uploaded to their website.
Again check the flavor text it is pretty awesome.
Normally I like to show my process before I show my finish but in this instance I was not able to. But I decided to show them anyhow.
These are some of the studies I worked up for the card Expulsion from the Order.
The top left is the value version and the rest are different color tests. As you can tell from the finish, the study that was chosen was the one on the bottom right.
Hope everyone enjoys seeing my studies.
This is a card I illustrated for FFG's Call of Cthulhu card game. It is entitled Expulsion from the Order. As usual it is painted using Corel Painter.
The card is for an upcoming card set. You can read a bit on the set on Fantasy Flight's website. The sample card they displayed for the article on the site just happened to be this one. Which was really awesome to see.
The card looks great and I really love the flavor text they gave the card. "We are no longer in need of your services...but you may still be of some value."
I hope everyone likes it and don't forget to pick up a copy when it is released.
This is my L5R sneak peek #2.
