Gilgamesh and His Last Acts

2010-05-02T14:25:00.000-07:00

The second piece to the Legendary Leader Gilgamesh. I took two different telling of the endings and put them together here, the first is Gilgamesh went and found a man that could bring others back to life after Enkidu died and Gilgamesh went to find immortality. After a long journey the man promised to teach Gilgamesh the secret but only if he stayed awake for 10 days, but as soon as they stopped talking Gilgamesh fell asleep for 7 days. So to make sure he couldn't deny his failure he had his wife bake a loaf of bread for every day he was asleep. When he awoke he saw the bread and left. The other ending is where the gods crack the ground so that Gilgamesh can see Enkidu again and his spirit comes up to tell Gilgamesh about hell.

Young Arthur at the Stone

Inspector Gadget

2010-04-12T16:22:00.001-07:00

Yes, the best Inspector ever to walk the drawn earth! I got inspired to do thins after all the illustrations rolling around about him. I want them to do a new cartoon about him but just make it as epic as possible! make him a real detective like from old noir films! >.<>

Beowulf vs. Grendel

2010-04-12T16:15:00.000-07:00

The rise and fall of legendary leaders continue, Beowulf's first major task to becoming king. normally I would go into what the story is but most of you know it I'm assuming, but if you really want to know ask about it. done in Photoshop and Painter!

Gilamesh vs Enkidu

2010-03-16T11:14:00.000-07:00

Second major piece to Legendary leaders, the first pat of King Gilgamesh (the guy on the right) he is fighting Enkidu (the left guy) this is 1 out of 2 for this leader.
Done in Photoshop and Painter X

-This is part of the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Mesopotamian king. just in brief Gilgamesh was a bad king to his people, he was strong and they were weak. So he looked down on all of them, the people tried to do something about him but none of them could stand up to him and his strength. So they went to a man raised in the wild by all the creatures, his name was Enkidu and told him about Gilgamesh the king. Enkidu went to the city and called out the king, they fought through the city and Gilgamesh came out again victorious, but something was different. through fighting Enkidu seeing his strength and how much he cared for all life they forged a great friendship, which in turn make Gilgamesh a better king.

Le Morte d'Arthur

2010-02-18T14:59:00.000-08:00

This is the first of many, The Rise and Fall of Legendary Leaders. This is the basis behind my thesis, and this is one of the main illustrations. It depicts King Arthur, after he has received the mortal blow from the black knight (Mordred, his son.) He gives the holly sword Excalibur to Sir Percival and instructs him to take the sword and throw it into the nearest body of water, and i will stop there if you haven't read it you should it good.

Done in Corel Painter X, hope you enjoy it.

Octacordian

2010-02-18T14:55:00.001-08:00

Well this is an old pen and ink I found in my room, and decided to put it up on another sight. My sisters found it and went ape shit for it so I guess it belongs here too. And yes my brain either doesn't work right or it works in mysterious ways. good luck trying to find out which!

John Dough ZBrush

2010-02-18T14:50:00.001-08:00

This was my first attempt at the infamous ZBrush! and I must admit I may get addicted, the a bunch of stuff wrong but since its my first piece in the program ill let it slide.

-The character is John Dough, played and created by one of my friends for a roll playing game. He is an ex-Mafia hit-man who runs a restraint, but still disposes bodies for his old gang. He is a massive hulking man who, if you cause trouble with smash you with cinder-blocks tied to logs (aka his fists, really really big man.)
-John Dough do isn't his real name, also called the Dough man by the way he would take care of his hits. (ringing there bodies until they were just a lump of human dough) fun, fun!

The Phantom Tollbooth

2009-12-20T08:24:00.001-08:00

A new cover for the old classic The Phantom Tollbooth, I loved this book because I inherited my father's love of puns. If you haven't read the book I suggest you do, to the left is the watch dog Tock. Tock is half dog half alarm clock, I chose to make his whole side the clock and the minuet hand his actual paw, so if you wanted to know the time he would point to the correct minuet. so he is a watch dog and a pointer. Haha told you I like puns.

Maquette in Progress.

2009-12-20T08:16:00.000-08:00

This is a sculpture for a race in a friend game, They are called the Nanook. I am trying to learn how to do hair better so I took on this project, trying out three types of hair, making every piece of hair then putting it on one piece at a time.
