BattleCritters™
For those of you who know me personally, I have been wanting to design, illustrate, and create video games for quite sometime. I am proud to announce BattleCritters a new universe that is under development. Check it out, take the survey and let me know what you think!
Assasin Samurai
I got an email recently from someone complimenting me on my "Dark Peacock" series. It reminded me of how much fun I had doing these. I alos noticed that I havent shown my Assasin Samurai off for quite some time. So I put a nice detail shot up below, so people can see the ammount of effort I put into the artwork.
Good Versus Evil
An elven warrior from Moonshade, fighting for the faction of good battles a ork warlord who hails from the dark regions of Bridgeland.
Sky Kingdoms
Five Sky Kingdoms (flying fortess) created by for a detailed, rich, and imaginiative strategy board game designed and developed by Nick Barfuss & Max Barfuss.
SuperHero Gender Switch
An Idea that sprung from wondering what Male versions of girl superheors would look like, and vice versa. These images were not done for anything in particular other than to satisfy my curiosity, and do some artwork that was just for me!
Gladiator
Concept artwork for a gladiator game I will be illustrating. Dark, Brutal, bloddy gladiatorial combat.
Monts Poster
While looking through some old work I found these beauties. Posters created for Monts, a hair design studio in Perth, Western Australia. The photos were taken by my awesome wife Jasmine, and I did the art, and digital correction.
Forge Games
Forge games was to be the premiere board game and hobby store of Utah. This concept was to promote the company to fantasy based gamers. Notice the awesome shield battle damage!
Station Conflict
Charachter concept designs for a multiplayer online spaceship battle game. The Alteru (left) and the Toromojin (right) are sworn enimes, and will stop at nothing to destroy on another.
The Warm Glow Of Treasure
A fun personal project that no one but me seemed to ever appreciate. I was really into pirates, and thought what could be better than a whole boat load of mean and sexy pirate wenches..
Dragonlance Animated Charachter Concepts
New animated charachter concepts for the Dragonlance: War of Souls trilogy. These charachters are just some of my favorites from the series.
Dark Peacock
These are very old, but I still love them. This images were created to help develop a fantasy world where ruling houses thrive on political intrigue.
Dragonlance Portraits
To say Dragonlance and the writings of Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman have influenced my life is an understatement. The Dragonlance world has inspired me more than any other thing on this planet.
Sky Kingdoms Dragons
Ferocious beasts ready to devour the puny mortals of the Sky Kingdoms world. Sky Kingoms is a 5-6 player board game in its final phases of game testing, ready for release soon.
