Down to business, THIS is what I'm all about. I am an illustrator. I prefer to illustrate concept work, but I am not a "concept designer". I don't do breakdowns and turnarounds. I am a concept artist and illustrator. I just want to be clear on that because professionals will definitely notice.
Most of the works presented here are of characters and creatures that the general public has a passing familiarity with and therefore can be read as comparative material. The images displayed lean strongly towards the REDESIGN of these properties, demonstrating an ability to look at familiar concepts from a creatively innovative or aesthetically revised perspective.
Along with these "fan art" selections you may see several rough ideas of my own original concepts and characters, private commissions or work for hire as well as some from my current series "Stealing Fire" which you may read about in the Novels section of this site.
Some of this work is pretty old and predates the software and hardware capabilities that I have now, but ultimately I feel that no matter how each design was achieved, the designs themselves were worth their inclusion in this gallery.
