2019 Annual Post

Its that time again for me to post something. Not a Primarch but here is a drawing for the Invincible Reason the flagship of Dark angels. Hopefully I will be laying the colors down on this later this week.

Still getting it all set up but its slowly getting there, thanks for checking it out.

Konrad Curze

 Konrad Curze is my least favorite of all the primarchs, and this the 5^th piece in the Primarch series I’m working on. Here he is on the peaceful planet Ultramar running rampant creating chaos. I took a break from Xenofera yesterday and drew this guy up. I’m hoping I can get him all colored and ready to go by Naka-Kon which is less than 2 weeks away.

Orks

Here are some Orks from the Warhammer 40k Conquest card game from Fantasy Flight Games. I'm sad that Games Workshop pulled the License for this product, but I had a blast working on it while it lasted. It was always one of my dreams to work on Warhammer 40k one of my favorite games.From Clockwise from Top left:One of Zogwarts runthearders cracking the whip, driving the gretchin into the enemy guns, with a stompa in the background. A horde of snotlings. An Or Kommando strategically attacking an Imperial guard  strong point. A deff Skulls Mek lootin' a Tau hammerhead.

Battletech:Warhammer/ Xenofera Kickstarter

 In the suburban outskirts of an industrial city world two merchandised titans go toe to toe, as the battle rages in the distance.  In the foreground the Merc warhammer makes quick work of the lightly armored grasshopper as it desperately weaves between modular domiciles. This was done about a year ago and the medium was digital.

On a different note Xenofera is off to a good start, not even a week and we already have 1/2 our funding. If you would like to check it out here is a link,

To the left you  will witness the hairless sheep in the Undulating Mountains of Prairie, which serve as a refuge from the pursuits of the vicious cownivore. To the right this is a wandering pink faerie   armidillo scouring the vast lava bed wastes on the toxic planet of Barren.
These are just a few of the creatures you may come across and be able to capture for your space zoo in the in the game Xenofera.  Below is a chart of some of the bonus creatures that backers can vote on to include in the Xenofera starter box set. However if we can get the project funded by Thursday, you won't have to vote because they will all be included!  

San Francisco/ Trapped In Denver/ Art update

-->

It’s been far too long since I updated anything on the Internet, so I am going to force myself to get back into posting stuff online starting with my blog.

Here a Trygon has sprung a subterranean surprise attack upon a patrol of Space wolves in the mountains surrounding their mountain fortress. The warriors of Fenris desperately battle against a formidable of which they will most likely not win.

I did this piece in gouache on a 20x30 piece of Illustration board. I’ve been using gouache in a more loosely applied manner than I did in the past. I think this is partially due to experimenting with weekly paintings where I attempt keep the paint fluid and move it all around the canvas. I also worked with a very limited pallet I think it was a total of six to seven colors, most all ranging in the cool spectrum.

Below is my sketchbook from The San Francisco trip that I went on for School with the University of Hartford MFA in Illustration Limited Residency program. At one point I was stranded in the Denver airport for four days due to a blizzard. This is my entire sketchbook Unabridged and uncensored.

Below is a pen and ink demo for class

Here is an ink wash demo for our week of ink wash

This is from the robot drawing week

While in Ny York this past November, with my grad school class with the University of Hartford MFA in illustration, I managed to fill an entire sketchbook. Some of these are from IlluxconV the rest are sketches in class, and on the subway, there are also some drawings from a chiefs game I attended. 

Dark Eldar Lhamaean

Today was a good day in the studio without safety incidents, this is a Lhamaean from the Dark Eldar (evil space elf like creatures) faction from the Warhammer 40k universe. I did this in my free time, it was done in photoshop.

Below is my morning still life which was done in gouache and took about 2 hours. It is a portrait of a Space Marine Land Raider also from the 40k universe.

Imperium's Finest

Manning the battlements of deep space fortification the Emperors finest Warriors make a stand against incredibly unlikely odds. The Tyranid swarm is attempting to overrun the Space Marines of the Mantis Warriors, and Salamander Chapters.
