I am going over Vehicle Concept Design right now for my students... Here is a demo.

CTN Expo Demo

Here is the 20 minute demo I did at the CTN Expo earlier today. The computer I was thrown on had a wack-a-doodle configuration and of course was misbehaving terribly...Thanks everyone for watching!

Blocking in this thing in the 3-Ds, here is a quick progress shot on that block-in.

Night Riot.

Painting these night scenes can be tricky- It is all about staying within a certain value range...

Tank Walker Mech

I am incorporating aspects of the Mantis insect and a bit of a Rhino into this Tank Walker concept, because all tanks need bulk.

This project started with me assembling a "Kit-Bash" out of found materials; http://paulchristopherart.blogspot.com/2013/07/mech-kit-bash.html .

Rooftop Rappel Gun Scene

Capturing a certain narrative involving a "Rooftop Rappel" sequence.

Kyudo_Archer

Studying different dedications for archers in ancient Japanese culture. Fascinating stuff. This guy in the fore-ground is from the Kyudo discipline.

Some Experiments

An art-pal of mine, the talented Joseph Culp, and I have taken on this experiment...

  To expand their creativity, Leonardo Da Vinci would instruct his students to stare at clouds, until you start seeing different things in them. So in that spirit Joseph Culp, and I are throwing our own cloudy starts for the other one to finish...More to come.

  

Here they are in full frame...Gonna definitely have to do this more!

Snake Queen

I was honored by Constantin Sekaris to contribute to a Design Studio Press book, which he and the awesome Scott robertson are at the production-helm of.  It is about Character/ Costume Design, and about to come out, so about time some promotions start...Stay posted!

Fire Pixy

This is an Illustration that was featured in a RPG Card Game.  I was commissioned to design her various levels of costume as well as providing final illustrations for them all. Her power is FIRE!
