I know it's been a long time since I've post anything....but here we go. These are some sample boards that I did for myself. I was going through some of my folders and I saw there are so many boards that I started and didn't complete. Anyway, check these out and feel free to critique. I'll be posting more soon and I'll try to be more consistent. No comments from the peanut gallery....Todd!!

I've been painting more in Photoshop for no particular reason other than to improve my knowledge of the program. I sat down the other day and couldn't think of crap to draw. Then I started looking at my office and was like, I have all the inspiration I need! I'm a huge gamer and have all the systems except PS3. So I decided to do a game character. One of my favorite villains in games is Goki from Streetfighter. (Akuma is the American name) Anyway, I'm a huge fighting game fan and decided to take a stab at a redesign. I don't really look at this as a redesign per se'. My thoughts were, what would he look like if he was taken over 100% by the "Dark Hadou"? Below is my result and as usual you are welcome to comment and critique.

More Photoshop Sketches

Here are a couple Photshop sketches I attempted again. Sometimes I feel like I get lost for some reason in Photoshop. I love doing storyboards in PS but, painting is altogether a different animal for me. Anyway, I'm a huge classic monsters fan, Dracula, Werewolf etc, so, I was sitting there thinking how cool it would be to design for those movies. I saw a photo for the new Wolfman movie that's coming out for next year with Benecio Del Toro and said, what the hey...why not. I can't wait to see that one!!! Well, comments are welcomed as usual. Give me a sec and I will get the hang of painting in Photoshop. I'm determined!

Here are some sketches I did a few months back in Photoshop. Of late I've been trying to do quite a bit of painting in Photoshop. It comes easier and more natural in Painter, but, I'm determined to get the hang of Photoshop as well. These were a few practice sketches on moving the figure. Any and all comments are welcome. Keep it to yourself Todd!!! (LOL)

Creature

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. I've been experiencing that blasted creative block crap. Man, that is the worst crap for an artist to go through. This is pretty much a filler since some of my friends are clowning me about my lack of posts...Deon and Todd...keep it to yourselves!!! Anyway, here's a little something, I do have more that I'll post by the weekend.

Character Design

Well I'm trying to stay a little consistent. Here's another post of a character design I did for a project my brother and I are working on. These are just a couple of rough ideas; they are not the final look. I'm a huge fantasy buff!!! Anything that has fantastic creatures, characters or worlds; I'm front and center! Anyway, feel free to comment and critique if you like.

Dragons!!!

It's been a while since I've posted anything so, here are some samples of some dragons I was working on. I'm a big fantasy buff, so doing these type of concepts are always fun. I actually got this idea from looking at one of my favorite concept designers, Ed Lee. I usually do the majority of my paintings in Corel Painter but thought that I would do these in Photoshop. It was actually a lot of fun and I'll be doing more. Feel free to comment or critique if you like.
