Just finished coloring my latest piece (although I actually sketched this about 5 years ago on a city bus on the way home from art school), and it's looking pretty good.
My original thought on this as I drew it was that this guy needed a big frickin' gun. No, wait.. a HUGE frickin' gun! The kind that would, in no way, be able to be supported by his weight alone. In fact, the gun-to-guy weight ratio balance would be off so badly that he would be lying on his back in about a second. But, this isn't real life, and nothing even says this is an illustration of anything from our universe so maybe he's on another planet or something. Yeah, that's it..
Overall, I'm happy with the way this turned out. I originally didn't plan on adding in the smoke or spark effects, but I thought it needed something more so I started playing around with smoke and that eventually led to a much larger idea: the character seems to be literally ripping apart or on the verge of exploding. Very cool.
I'm working on improving my coloring speed and overall composition, so hopefully you'll enjoy this latest addition to my illustration/print portfolio.
You can view the work in detail and purchase prints either at my DeviantART Print Shop, or my RedBubble Store. Enjoy!

The Moment - Prints Now Available

After gaining print permission from the gracious Amminopurr, my new wallpaper The Moment is now available as a print.
You can purchase a print one of two ways, through my DeviantART Print Shop or through my Print Shop on RedBubble. I'm looking forward to making more designs like this in the future as I'm really happy with the way this one turned out. I'll keep you posted on upcoming and new art as always, so stay tuned and spread the word.

New Art - Breath in Flame

This started out as a fun piece for me, and then I went crazy and it turned out really cool. Want a print? Check out the Print Shop to purchase something with this on it, or just to see it up close.
Want to see the image that started it all? This is a photo of me goofing off last summer.. funny how much things can change with a few layers.

Survival of the Fittest

This is my newest illustration, Survival of the Fittest. I really dig this, originally I wasn't sure what the background would be but I decided a fiery, end-of-the-world type landscape would suit the idea behind the piece. Enjoy!
Prints Available in the Print Shop.

DeviantART has New Puzzles

DeviantART just launched a new format for the Puzzles in their online stores! I'm really excited because the new format includes a black box with the puzzle pieces broken apart inside. Apparently the old way they did puzzles was to send them flat without a box or anything, so this is a huge step up.
There are numerous puzzles available in my Print Shop, so get your puzzle on!

The Destruction of Colony 030783

This is the newest illustration I've done, and I'm quite proud of it. Done in Illustrator, here's a little description:
"And there upon the horizon lurked a shadow that could conquer mountains. As it approached, the people fled as darkness reigned over the Colony of 030783."
Click here to check it out on DeviantART, you can view it much larger.
Visit my shop if you'd like to purchase a print:

What's New at DeviantART

I wasn't expecting an email from DeviantART anytime soon, but I was definitely glad to recieve it. Sounds like they've launched a new clothing line, and it's really cool. Not sure yet if they hired guest artists to design the clothing or not, but there are some really cool designs.
I was also pleased to learn about the "Top Selling Prints" list in the DeviantART store, a very cool selection of the top art on the site.
Perhaps in time I'll make it on that list, but until then you can check out my work here.
