Gilamesh vs Enkidu


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


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


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


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!

Nanook



This is a maquette of a yettie species for a freinds new game, they are called the Nanook. I wanted to learn about how to make fur on sculptures, so i tested out a couple ides, I made each piece of hard indivigualy and then put it on his body. On his back I wanted to try and make it look like matted fur from getting wet from snow.

Red Hood in the Wood


This is the first wood block print I have ever done, It was a lot of fun and I want to keep playing with the process, I am a bit off on the registering but I think it looks good.

The Phantom Tollbooth

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.


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.

Mariah's Town

Environment painting done for a game, there is nothing like coming home after such a long time. Nothing can describe the feeling of such piece when you come with the worst intentions towards those you love. The characters name is Basgim, and he has come to look for his mentor, or at least a part of her...
