Sup guys! long time no post! guess thats the nature of the beast ey?

Testing myself

This is for a certain project that ive been told to do in my spare time, and as it progresses, maybe ill post my progress here for myself to refer back to, and see how it came along.

Man ive got ...

a lot of older art that i havent posted yet...maybe i should drop a couple pieces just so they dont fall through the cracks!

heres a handfull of characters i did for the Vampire series, Ancient Bloodlines. Enjoy!

heres a couple closeups on the ones that i liked the most

aaaand finished...

dominance war complete! finally!

Time is running out...

update **

Dominance war....and the race continues...

well dominance war deadline is nearing, and im racing to the finish line...i have T-minus two days left, and theres still quite a bit to be done. i refuse to submit to the tire and fatigue just yet though, because i really like what im working on. its something quite imaginitive this year, and i feel that i MUST complete it to be happy with myself :)

enjoy the progress! its been a long ride!
wish me luck in the final stretch!

DOMINANCE WAR IV

AND IT BEGINS...

So its time for dominance war again...and its time for me to once again, show my face and show what ive got. The joy of competition is a good personal gauge to see just how much ive grown since last year. It will become (hopefully) this year's best portfolio piece, and hopefully i can rack up some cash in the meantime! Enjoy!

Halo Wars Complete!

well , halo wars is complete and its MEGA FUN!! you guys shoudl pick it up! trust me! i MADE the game, and had to play it an hour every day for a year, and STILL cant keep my hands off of it! heres a few pieces of concept art that may have not been seen until now :)

So what have i been up to?

So over the past few months, ive been working on this project..which i wont go into detail about...
because its my personal baby...but ill post some images from it...just dont go getting any ideas...

Been a while!

view the entire set of Halo Wars Released artwork here, at the official halowars site.

Man its been such an eventful past few months....good, bad, and ugly as microsoft/ensemble finally approaches its closing time. The Halo Wars game was FUN and overall, very challenging. Some images have been released, and i will repost them here as they leak out, so enjoy!

I had a LOT of fun creating this one...well, simply because its a "new" unit...and
like it or hate it...its my design!! woooo!!! man its such a crazy feeling going from playing halo countless hours during the day with ALL of my friends all through school, and experiencing the oooh's and aaaaa's of the game, to actually being behind the scenes, creating, growing and learning.
