Troll

Ahoy!

Sad Narwhal

I don't think narwhals are particularly good at playing beach volleyball.

Cowboy Crocodile

Royal Guard

The royal guard consists of only the finest men with all manner of fighting skills and mustache grooming skills.

Dog Sketch

Hulk Riding a Bike

Never let the Hulk ride your bike. 

Boba Fett

Initial sketch. Boba Fett is probably the awesomest character in the Star Wars universe. He was fun to draw. 

Final Drawing. I want a jet pack.

Final Illustration. 

Mouse and Turtle

I did this painting for fun. My favorite part was designing the instruments. I like to paint in a way that still allows my drawing to be seen underneath. As a growing illustrator I am continually experimenting with different ways to paint and searching for a style that is unique to me.

Finished drawing. I did the values in a layer in photoshop. I like painting in the values digitally more than using a pencil. It seems to save time and I like how it looks better.

One of the initial sketches. I find myself designing characters and other objects later in the drawing stage. During this sort of rough sketch I just like to figure out where everything is located and not worry about detail too much.

Richard the Lion (Heart)

Blue Dragon

Final assignment for my digital painting class, painting a dragon fighting a hero. I feel like I've learned a lot the past few months as an illustrator and while this piece definitely not perfect I had a lot of fun doing it.

Robot vs. Mountain Lion

I'm pretty sure that a 7 foot tall robot would be able to clobber a mountain lion without a problem but there is a possibility that the mountain lion is a cyborg mountain lion that shoots lasers out it's eyes.

Creature Workshop

Today at school (UVU), I attended a workshop presented by Terryl Whitlatch. It was awesome and I learned a lot. She is an amazing artist and her knowledge of animal anatomy is mind blowing. At the workshop she had us create an animal that lived on a fictional planet which either inhabited a cold climate or a hot desert climate.

I combined a warthog, a rhino and an elk to make a strange beast that could probably run pretty fast and defend itself with its tusks and horn.

Some other creatures I came up with during the workshop.

Little Red Riding Hood Hunter

What's worse than the big bad wolf? A man who killed the wolf, wears his skin as a headdress and hunts small children that are lost in creepy forests.

Shreddin' Spaceman

When exploring uncharted planets littered with old paper documents and microfilm, Shreddin' Spaceman always takes his guitar.
