This is a man who breaks into the morgue at night to cut out tattoos from old sailors and sews them onto himself. He has a tattoo around his neckline that states "Why pay if you can get it for free?" This is a little idea I've been throwing around in my head for most of this last semester, but have not had time until now to "flesh" it out if you will

It is still in progress so any advice or critiques would be much appreciated.

You can few the progress here:

This is the first piece of art for a roughly 2 year project focusing on George Orwell's "Nineteen-Eighty-Four." This painting was the main focus of half of a semester and many long days. The image is 6 foot by 3 feet acrylic painting on unstretched pre-primed canvas (I wanted it to feel like a propaganda poster).

Any critques or feedback is greatly appreciated.]]> Wed, 31 Dec 2008 17:47:56 +0000 http://pretendartist.cgsociety.org/gallery/712980

This was a summer project that is the story of an imprisoned inventor who must create a robot boy that will be used as a biological weapon.

The time frame was throughout my summer vacation (two or three months) on days off and whenever I could find the time. Estimated total hours painting 20-30. I mainly used Painter IX.5.

Critiques and feedback are always more than welcome.

This was a little weekend project for a friend's computer game project. The background was from a pic and heavily distorted with brushes and customized (largely due to the very short deadline). As always feedback and criticism would be greatly appreciated.

This was for a student video game project with a steampunk flavor. This was to design an old retro fitted church, so I mixed the church with a train/subway station.

I started with pencil and then went over final line work with a ball point pen, scanned to Painter and added color and finally an old paper texture. Any feedback or criticism would be great.

This piece came from a professor in an art class who told me that when I become a real artist, I will have to spend money on my art supplies. So this kind of pokes fun at that remark and a voicing of frustration I suppose.

Around 8 or 9 hours

As always feedback and criticism would be greatly appreciated.]]> Sat, 12 Jan 2008 00:28:36 +0000 http://pretendartist.cgsociety.org/gallery/588931

Another piece for project Viathan. These are two level design sketches. The top one is titled "Its Alive," in this level you first learn that you are inside a living organism. Everything is moving, contracting, and just well... alive.

The bottom level sketch is called "Overworld," which is the stomach and central hub of the game, where you can access a large number of the level doors. The monumental petal covered columns give birth to planets, while also consuming anything that runs into them, called space junk.

3 hours each.]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2008 20:00:36 +0000 http://pretendartist.cgsociety.org/gallery/588934

This piece is titled "Debby, V.3," it is a weapon design for a student video game project, titled Viathan. The ammo is clustered beneath the glass-like bubble. The four ammo-types are displayed in orbit at the front of gun. Loosely inspired by Mega-Man's arm cannon, that slips over the shooting arm of the player with petals that firmly attach it to the player.

Roughly 3 hours

Critique and feedback would be great.]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2008 20:15:53 +0000 http://pretendartist.cgsociety.org/gallery/588936

This is another piece of concept art for project Viathan. A flying creature that is a mixture of a manta ray and bat. Feedback and critique would be helpful.

Piece for project Viathan. Based on a lillypad of course, which allows the player to navigate through the swampy areas of Overworld.

As always, critique and feedback are more than welcome.

Weapon design for project Viathan, titled "The Wheeler." Nothing more than a line drawing sketch on regular paper. Scanned in Photoshop. Any feedback or criticism would be appreciated.
