Sub-Zero Redesign




Hello folks, I promised that I would try and complete the other five characters from the original
Mortal Kombat when I found some time and yesterday I did. Here is Sub Zero how I envision him. I haven’t worked out much of his back story other than that he was a part of the Way of the Frost Dragon, an honorable secret society of warriors that were direct enemies with the ninja organization Scorpion was a part of before he was killed by Shang Tsung (disguised as Sub Zero).
I will have a table in the artists alley at the C2E2 (comic con) in Chicago April 16-18 2010 and wll have all of my art there for purchase. Come and check it out.

Sub Zero was always my favorite character to play with.

Magic The gathering_ Vampire Concepts

Hello, my last post was almost 2 months ago already. Unfortunately I haven't really had any time to work on too much more personal work because I have (fortunately!) been getting fairly regular freelance work.
The art I am posting is from the first wave of concept art done for Magic the Gatherings Zendikar release. I did a bunch of concepts for the 2010 releases that I will eventually post here. Below are only the concepts I was doing for the neo vampires. The direction was to make them less monstrous but still keep them in the natural world. The chosen direction was more tribal then what I have posted (which to me is a bit more Egyptian) but you can still see some of the below art influenced in the cards (none of which are posted because I didn't paint any vampire cards). I was pretty happy with what I ended up with even though it wasn't really used.
The art at the bottom of this post was the art that I did on site which had to be done very quickly because we had to concept a lot of stuff out in the two short weeks I was at the main offices.
Thanks for looking.

Speed Painting_SCi-Fi


A recent speed painting I did in December. I have been super into the sci-fi work of John Harris recently and I wanted to do a peice in that style. I know it isn't as clear/simple as something Mr. Harris would do but I think its pretty good all the same. The theme is that of a short story I wrote about the builders of the space elevators that I believe we should be building...
