A revisioning of a redesign

I really didn't care for the original, so I redid it.

ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! - work in progress

A work in progress done for CA's Character of the Week.

Variations

Just a quick post today before I run off to the day job. This is for ArtOrder's "Variations" Concept Tuesday contest. Just having a little fun with it :)

The (un)Usual suspects

This was done for ArtOrder's Concept Tuesday challenge, here. One of the things that surprised me was how ridiculously *fun* this particular challenge was. Once I got around to drawing the characters, (yesterday ... ) they only took a little while to do. I think I spent more time trying to settle on a background that didn't conflict with the characters than I did actually drawing them.

An interview in three parts: Jon Schindehette

I had the opportunity to interview Jon Schindehete, the author of ArtOrder and Senior Art Director for Wizards of the Coast for Character of the Week on Conceptart.org the other day. I've wanted to work for WoTC since I was kid (it was TSR, then). I want to even more now after talking with Jon. It sounds just all kinds of awesome.

PART I

PART II

PART III

Haven't had much time this week for anything. Actively looking for work right now. If you know of something, give me a heads up.

Suburban dinosaurs - a wip. It's a bit of a recurring theme with me. I've been working on this piece off and on for a little more than a month now. The kid's face is fighting me for some reason.

A quick critter sketch.

Unfamiliar

Working up ideas for the next Concept Tuesday entry: An Unfamiliar Familiar. I haven't decided if I am going to abandon this concept yet or not. Still playing with it.

Boll Deevil

This was my second entry to Art Order's Concept Tuesday.

Art Order

I recently found Jon Schindehette's Art Order blog - a daily blog on the ins and outs of being an art director and how it relates to being an artist/illustrator. Aside from just fantastic insider information that you would normally have to kill for, or at least wait until an event of some kind to get, Jon also runs a weekly concept contest called "Concept Tuesday." A lot of fun with open entry, the artwork featured there every week (and well, almost everyday) is just jaw dropping.

The first challenge I entered was to take one of the existing D&D race (artist's choice) and move it ahead 4000 years. I chose the dragonborn.
