Singularity character design.

Local music-man Ste Kirby commissioned me to come up with a character for his story-driven musical project "The Singularity".

Here's what I came up with.





Character Designs

Here's some sample designs I did a while back for a children's book project about a little girl that loses her umbrella.  I tried to envision different kinds of brolly, and the kind of person that would use them, then fuse that together to create a character.


Barbarian Revenge!

I tend to do these to warm up in the morning, but I like some of them so much that they make it into samples of pro work.




Thaw Rimescar treads the frozen wastes of the Shattered Steppes, his warhammer BrainFreeze gripped in gloved fist.

The crunch of snow beneath his heels is his only herald.

Blood on the ice, his only calling card.

For if the north wind chill is the breath of the Reaper, then Thaw is its War-Cry, promising swift and terrible retribution to the unworthy.




Ursula Ogrebane is THE harshest bounty hunter in the Longreach Peninsula. She lost her eye to a fugitive minotaur, and now wears his hide for clothing and keeps smokes in his horns.

Some say that the minotaur is actually still alive and captive in one of Ursula's safehouses, just in case she needs anything else off him. Harsh.


Skate Decks!

Here's some deck designs from my portfolio.  I have more of a blast designing decks than pretty much any other kind of pro work.  I either do the image on the old macbook, or I'll sit with the deck on my knee and just blast out some randomness with pens and paint!

You can expect a few more of these as the dribble out of my brain.



First post!

Alright, folks?

This here blog'll serve as the main website for business-type professional work, with samples of the kind of quality of work that I can do for you.  No doodles here, no sir.  If you want doodles, check my Deviantart.

Over time, this blog will become swollen and unwieldy with all kinds of art.  You know how Apocalypse Now Redux was like, three days longer than the original release?  That's this blog.  It's my portfolio, plus anything else that was good, but didn't fit into the old faux-leather folder.

Alright, let's get this party started.
