Disturbed Entertainment

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.

Water Drop

Here's an oldie.  I painted this as a fun portfolio piece, focusing on achieving nice realistic water reflections.

Z Tutorials Intro Progress Screen

I'm currently working on creating a 3D animated intro in Maya for the tutorial videos I'm putting together.  Here's the 3D text's final framing.  I think the lighting is turning out nicely.  The camera does a fly by near the text and turns around it before ending in this location.  Once the 3D is rendered, I'll probably do some post work in After Effects to make the stage a bit more interesting.

Idiocracy Concepts and Matte Paintings

A few years ago I worked with a small post production company called Stargate Digital.  My main purpose, while I was there, was to be the 3D artist in the Matte Painting department. Eventually my Photoshop and other artistic skills stood out and I was tasked to create these concept paintings and matte paintings for the film Idiocracy.  This was my first eye opening experience in the entertainment/post production industry.

Piranha Purgatory Character Concepts

This is a series of character concepts I created for an old job designing cellphone games.  This idea was for a game called Piranha Purgatory where you'd swim around as a ghost piranha scaring other fish to increase your score.

Mushroom Sitter - WIP

Mushroom Sitter WIP

This is a digital painting I've been working on just for fun so the time spent on it has also been very casual.  Here are a few of the steps that I've gone through to get it to where it is now.  You can see how it transformed from the original sketch, but I'm going to put the character back in somewhere plus throw something in the foreground.  We'll see when I get around to finishing it.
