Pirate's Set

Here's another older illustration of mine, done around the time of the Disturbed Entertainment.  I was painting for fun one day and wanted to practice painting an ocean scene with some nice lighting from a sunset.  This painting really steered me towards figuring out the techniques I use to create more realistic skies and it got me thinking about how light reacts, shines through, and reflects off of these gaseous masses during different times of the day.  Creating paintings like this really inspired me to focus on the beauty of nature and scenery that I experience on a daily basis.

Here is another blast from the past.  This was one of my first fully completed digital paintings done in Photoshop without any reference.  I think this painting has been instrumental in helping to show my style, although, over the years, it definitely has changed.

Self Portrait: 2012

I've created a self portrait of myself, something I haven't done since my freshman year of college.  I created it mainly because I needed a more artistic profile picture that speaks more of my artwork rather than just a photograph.  I had fun with it, though, and I think the sum of all the parts turned out nicely.
