  • Spider-Man Hero Inspiration

    This Spider-Man image was inspired by a good friend’s son who’s favorite comic hero is Spider-Man. As an active duty Marine my friend often finds himself on deployments around the world for months at a time. I thought it might be nice to illustrate a poster to boost his little one’s morale a bit. Heroes…

  • Cheerful–Grubby Melting Face

    Though I still am quite the nomad currently, I’m very happy to be able to take a moment of respite from time to time.  Today I’m thankful for my laptop, Wacom tablet, and being blessed with the opportunity to watch Grubby 2-0 incumbent Polt at Dreamhack 2013.

    My first mini project using the Tiled application was an enjoyable experience.  A friend of mine made a multiplayer PvP top down shooter game with a html 5 platform.  He had several placeholder graphics that I was able to re-skin to give the game it’s own unique flavor.  See the original screen capture below for comparison.

  • Forging Links

    Neoblon’s culture and peoples should be well thought out, but the realm will always be rich with mystery.  Using the most simple of medium reminds me of how important it is to leave the canvas’ door open, welcoming the viewer to enter by their own accord, and participate in imaging of the fantastic.  Its incredibly…
