I find myself on the first day of the winter break from work. Each year I end up sifting through papers scattered around my computer, through notebooks and sketchbooks that I knew i carried around this year.   Personal projects often get put on hold.    Then of course I look back at my drawings in the past year and try to figure out if I’ve evolved at all as an artist.  As you may already know I work as an artist in the video game industry.  Things tend to get busy around September and snowball into crunch time in December.  Anyway, you would think I’d feel burned out from doing art all day for a living.  Strangely, I...

First artwork from the new apartment.   Spent roughly 3 hours on this one…

My latest digital painting. This one took about 28 hours or so. (click here for larger version)

So two years ago I made a digital painting called “The Searchers”.   I’ve been thinking about their world and their story, so here are two character designs as well as the original image that sparked it all. These were done entirely in photoshop.
