whew, it's been a while....

....sorry for the absence, I've been traveling around the world and starting a new semester teaching at the Academy, and it's been hectic. Here's something I started during my travels, and painted when I got home.

a quick sketch

i'm such a nerd. sigh.

WoT issue 2 variant cover

you should see the billions of thumbnails i did before going forward with this one. billions i tell you...
you should stop by seamas' blog and bug him to see a cover or two. and remember, if you want to see more WoT art, go out there and buy an issue. more covers will be posted soon.....

Stillsuit

i love me some Dune, and a friend of mine started reading it and asked if i'd ever wanted to design a stillsuit. i love the designs of the original david lynch movie, and i think any subsequent designs should use them as a starting point. here's my first crack at it, looking forward to working on this more....

my little side project...

...is still going strong. this is a scene from a nightclub for bugs. this image makes me thirsty for some reason.....

for fun

I did these as an example for a painting assignment for one of my photoshop classes. I can never get enough dude.


Wait, that sounds funny.....

As promised...

...Here's my contribution for the first issue of the Wheel of Time Graphic novel! There will be three variant covers for issue 1-one from Seamas, one from the penciler, and this one from yours truly. I've already done 3 more covers for various other issues, but I haven't gotten permission to post those yet, so I guess you'll have to wait.....

another workshop scribble

Doc M

this weeks workshop confection. i just watched "watchmen"- i liked it. for those who don't like it, it coulda been worse. for instance, i'm a huge "dune" fan... just imagine rorschach with a sonic blaster gun yelling "aaahhhhh-CHA!"
and don't get me started on transformers, the prequels, indiana jones......yeah, zack did alright by me.

workshop sketch`

this is a sketch i did in my workshop at the academy. been pretty busy lately, my buddy seamas and i are teamed up doing covers for the new wheel of time comic book series. i'll be posting some of those bad boys quite soon. in the meantime i figured i'd post something, it's been a while.

more Wheel of Time art

trying to depict a Shienaran warrior, but not a specific one i guess. from what i've read they like swords, heh.

Invasion again

i'm working on updating my portfolio, so i'm going over old work and trying to make it suck less. we'll see how it goes....

Wheel of Time-Lanfear

An attempt at bringing Lanfear to life.

oh wolvie.....

.....so, i saw the trailer. i have no idea if the movie is gonna be cool or not, but hugh looks tough. color study, about 2 hours. hoping to get better and faster.

Wheel of Time-Nynaeve

another one of my favorite characters i tried to draw from Wheel of time a while back, but never posted-Nynaeve
