Fantasy Illustration

Arcadian 88th Airborne Infantry - "The Baby-Killer-Killers"

Part of a world-building side project for me to practice mixing historical research with fantasy themes in a representational style.
 

Another "Bodacious" Concept

It's the Forget-me-naut flagship ®SS Polaris Je T'aime, with gunship escorts ®SS Rosenkampf and ®SS Gildensturm.  I wanted to make outer space seem colorful, but it ended up looking like Homeworld. :/

There is at least one silver lining to this piece, though; I settled on a system for designing the ships from here on out: capital ships resemble office skyscrapers, while smaller vessels like gunships look like--well, guns.

"Bodacious" Character Concept

A character concept for a space-themed game idea. Space coffee is a valued commodity throughout the galaxy.

Rough Tennis Loop

While having the computer tween for you is pretty convenient, I tend to gain a deeper understanding of a motion when drawing it by hand. The racquet is still 3D, though; I might be crazy, but I'm not stupid--or was it the other way around?
 

My First Game

This is a gameplay prototype I made as an attempt to map an action-oriented game onto a minimal control scheme suited for mobile devices. There's plenty more to do to make the game more interesting, but first I'd have to buy a license for the development tool.

The game requires an HTML5 browser (I've tested it in Chrome and Firefox).

Ravenskye City Effects Animation

Here is some effects animation I did for the Ravenskye City team at Lolapps. (Adobe Flash)

Modular Character Animation

While at Turpitude I assembled a modular character rig in Flash that would accommodate all the incoming vector art. The game engine would change colors on the fly and swap in parts as needed. It would have resulted in millions of possible combinations upon release.

Some 3D

Finished a 3D work that's going in my demo reel. The actual modeling took a couple of days of working a few hours at a time--faster than the first time I did this for my character modeling class; but a lot of time was just wasted waiting for test renders to finish when I got to the lighting part. Diagnosing a test render and then making the right tweaks afterward just comes with experience, I guess.
