Discarded

I've shied a away from doing future tech illustration for a while.  It wasn't that I didn't like the genre, it was more that I didn't have an idea that I liked that was organic to my style and sensibilities.  Discarded was the image that I really felt strongly enough to finally dive in to.  The resulting illustration is the story about an android who was never meant to have her own thoughts and opinions.  She was a test, an experiment in the pursuit of a new ideal, of what can be made possible when emotion is taken away from decision making when an immanent threat is perceived.  She now sees that she's considered the threat and she'll defend her own ideals with her life.

Dark Canvas Blood and Stone

Dark Canvas Blood and Stone is a hidden object game for PC and MAC developed by Vast Studios and distributed through Big Fish Games in which I was a concept artist sketching all of the layout designs that were subsequently used as the guide for the matte painters to follow.  With this game taking place in Greece there was a fair amount of research done referencing Greek architecture and the countryside in an attempt give the game a more authentic feel.  You can take a look at some of the design work below or visit our Game Work page HERE!











Strange Discoveries Aurora Peak

Strange Discoveries Aurora Peak is a hidden object game for PC and MAC developed by Vast Studios and distributed through Big Fish Games in which I was a concept artist sketching all of the layout designs that were subsequently used as the guide for the matte painters to follow.  It was very challenging considering I've never worked on background design before.  I was thrown into the water where it was either sink or swim but once I got comfortable with the sinking part of things when I began swimming the daunting task was all the more enjoyable!  You can take a look at some of the design work below or visit our Game Work page HERE!

Victoria

Victoria is the lead designer and builder of luxury locomotives for the Rose Corporation.  She's a very sought after artisan currently working on an ambitious project designed to carry passengers underground within a network of tunnels that traverse an entire city.  This sub-terrain travel system named Cloud 9, is the wave of the future and Victoria is leading the charge.

Willow

Here is an image that was a bit of a surprise.  The sketch was done with the idea that Willow would be a mermaid underwater, but as the painting process began I felt that the aquatic feeling that I was trying to convey wasn't interesting enough so I decided to place her in a forest backdrop.   The contrasting environmental elements of her looking aquatic yet existing within rustling leaves created a serene feeling and setting that I wasn't expecting but I was still pleasantly surprised by.
