Science Fiction Development

Been working on this sci fi story for several years and this has been the develop of some of the characters.

This McCaide who originally was human and then as I went through development he became a science experiment. After another thought process I decided that he would be as a humanoid alien.

This creature is to be the bad guys of my story. 

Recycled Sketchbook

Been working in my new sketchbook a lot more lately. Here are two of my most recent paintings. They are both watercolor, marker, colored pencil and acrylic paintings.

Cheers!

Older Art

Haven't been able to do a lot of art recently, but soon I will be diving back into rebuilding my portfolio full time. Thought I would put up some of the art I've done over the past year or so that hasn't made it to this blog. 

Ares OKeeffe was happily relaxing with friends, playing music and having a few drinks. It was great until he heard is named being yelled from the end of the driveway, mom had dropped in. I messed up on angle of the beer in the bottle, I'd like to go back and fix that when I have the time.

Felt like drawing a classic truck and this was the result. It was a lot easier then I had though it would be. 

A marker and colored pencil painting I did on the cover of my sketchbook. 

Development for an alien species that my characters McCaide and Gavin stumble across. 

From a much older story idea, this is Roland in a mech suit that he had built to fight crime... sounds a little batman like, but it's not. Probably one of the last paintings I did in photoshop. 

A commission I did for my friend Terri of her two characters have a drunken conversation about the girl that got away. 

This painting is actually about three years old, but I still like how it came out. 

So here's hoping that you will be seeing a lot more new art from me soon.

Cheers!

Environments: Command Deck

Working on developing a series of environments from various stories that I have created over recent years. Going for more of a simplified style instead of my usual overly detailed one.

This is the main command deck of McCaide's space ship. His character is a tinkerer and is always looking for new a interesting technologies to integrate into is one ship. Which is why I wanted his ship to have a work in progress kind of feel. I'll go back and add more welded in plates and bolts from previous upgrades. His command chair will be another addition, but since it hovers around the room I figured it wasn't important.

 An older piece I did of McCaide piloting his ship in a fight. One of the features of the command deck is a full 360 degree display of the space out side the ship. This can make the room seem much bigger than it actually is.

This was to be in the ship as well, but I hadn't decided in the over all design of the ship yet.  I intend do do a full blue print of the ship. The creature that has broken on to the ship is an Unmenisch male. They come from a dark planet, hence the bio-luminescent lights that they have in their huge antlers, and spines and their bio-luminescent eyes. Generally just giant brutes. They stand about four feet over a human at full height. More on them to come.

Eask Your Spinach!

Popeye! I came across some Popeye t shirts when doing research and felt like drawing him in my own style. So here my own rendition of Popeye the sailor man.
Enjoy!

Pub Sketch & Background

 This is a commission that I am working on for Trendane. A bunch of drunk and rowdy wolves singing at the pub.

Doing this painting has given me the opportunity to work on the layout of my pub a little more. Also I'm having the chance to work with more textures. So far it has been a lot of fun. I still have to go back and add the stage and band set in the back. Also the stools, tvs, lights and other decorations on the wall.

Projects

This is a sketch for a zombie kill painting I hope to get done in time for Halloween. The guy with an axe is going to be surrounded by a zombie horde. I'm just trying to decide on a color scheme, I'm thinking monochromatic. 

This is just a character that I developed a few months ago for a science fiction project. I may or may not use her in a future, but I think she needs some more alien attributes.
