Pathfinder illustrations!

The first few artworks I made for Paizo's Pathfinder recently published. More to come!

WWML underway

The code is complete, the world is ripe, and the time is right- What Wonders May Lie is happening. Here's a mockup of the very first page (the final book will be in full-color):

I've been poking at the code language for a while now, but it has solidified to about what you see. The illustrations will tell the story enough so that translation isn't necessary - but the code still enhances the experience.

This endeavor is heavily inspired by the Voynich Manuscript, a book shrouded by confounding language and strange assortments of artwork. I want to capture that weirdness in a cohesive way.

Indy PopCon sketches

This weekend, I helped Kathryn Silver with her booth at Indy PopCon. The artist alley was extensive- filled to the brim with all manner of skill-sets and talents. While there I sketched up a few things. Highly random, in-the-moment things..

(Rather fond of this lady...)

And finally, the Demon of Wisdom!

I thought I'd have to live with this handsome beast forever...

...but thankfully, he's been drawn out. May remake this image in digital, to match my other two demons.

Got to meet contestants from Face Off, the makeup-fx contest show on SyFy. Very cool guys! It's striking just how similar we think, us monster-makers..

At any rate, more art will percolate soon.

Skulls

Fun for the whole family!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex skull from the AMNH:

A cat skull I own which features a loose, unattached mandible. I like having the two parts separate rather than glued together; recreating a bite-action showcases how rigid a cat's jaw movements are. It's a highly specialized kind of power.

3D sketching

Made some 3D sketches based on a couple of my creature concepts. First off, that recent Helicoprion.

But that proved to be too simple so I also tackled the Wendigo I'd drawn a while back..

..which is a retouched version of this drawing (from a previous sketchbook):

I'd like to add more details, but my computer cannot handle it. Perhaps I'll get an updated graphics card and really push these things to the limit.
