we love thailand

watched a documentary on takehiko inoue this morning and his artwork reminded me of yuka nagate. shes such a talented artist and they both have a really similar style. It inspired me to wip this up. Its a mock up of yukas first issue of "silvery savior." Hope you all digg!

Hey guys, I just recieved some good news that I wanted to share with everyone. I was recently published on ign's new "Hyrules Most Wanted" monsters for the Legend of Zelda article. Please go check it out and see all of the wonderful artist work whom I had the pleasure of working with. I hope it becomes a big success and yea...pretty stoked about this.

Thanks,

Flash work

Recently I have been learning flash...its a bizarre program depending on how your using it. I have been using it to create illustrations like the one I posted to your left. It makes you approach everything from a different perspective which is both frustrating and fun. Enjoy.

Bg Bust

A recent critique on my portfolio was that it was really character driven so I am trying to throw in a few backgrounds. I worked on this for an hour or two this afternoon in ps. Let me know what you think people.

Impatient

Udon was supose to announce the winners two months ago and we haven't heard anything yet. Due to my impatience with the contest I am posting my entry now. Good luck to everyone. Hope you diggs and I will be looking forward to seeing everyones artwork this June!

The Twilight Princess

Another finished piece to tribute the green machine. This is a painting of Dangoro. He is basically a steampunked mini boss version of the old gorons that have made multiple appearances in our sword swinging heros journey. Its been almost 5 or 6 years since the release of this game, but in case you couldn't remember this is the spot you find the "Hero's Bow." Hope ya'll diggs!

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER

I love art memes sometimes. This was a really good topic and a lot of great artwork was submitted. Mine of course was Thai inspired...

More Villains

Line work for my second project for IGN's LoZ tribute. A character portrait of Vaati from LOZ: The Minish Cap inspired by old 80's anime and studio ghibli. Finished project is still in the works.

IGN Villains

Sneak peak, this is one of the pieces of art work I have been working on for IGN's LOZ tribute to villains. I am really excited this year for Nintendo!

Megaman

Little preview of my blue bomber submission for Udons new tribute book coming out later this year.

Sketchbook 3.0

Happy New Year!! Its been a very long two months, but I am finally working again! Thanks to a VERY VERY good friend of mine I am now working for Jakks Pacific as an independent contractor. The work is really fun and I am thankful for just the opportunity to design. This job is going to be my magic door I hope and if i play my cards right...it will open up more and more opportunities.

It was a rough year for me, but thank god for friends and family. I have a good feeling about the early months of 2011.

best wishes,
