This is a character design of a Mage painted in Painter. I keep my illustration stylisticly loose, like when I paint in oils. This allows me to achieve a bit more energy in a fairly static pose.]]> Thu, 28 Jun 2007 19:48:06 +0000 http://sideache.cgsociety.org/gallery/506455

This is another automotive illustration for my boys. This is the 1968 MGC GTS that took first in class at Sebring in 1968. The car was driven in the 12 hour endurance race by the legendary Paddy Hopkirk and Andrew Hedges. I just happen to know the person that owns this historic vehicle now. ]]> Mon, 26 Mar 2007 01:48:15 +0000 http://sideache.cgsociety.org/gallery/470163

The BMC team of Mini Coopers won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964 and 1965. In 1966, they took 1st, 2nd and 3rd - only to be wrongly disqualified by the French judges. Sweet revenge took place in 1967, when the Coopers won again.]]> Sun, 04 Mar 2007 01:24:01 +0000 http://sideache.cgsociety.org/gallery/457050

The Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe is one of my favorite cars from the 1960's. Because I have two young boys that are totally into classic cars, I am creating a new body of work that is automotive related, the Cobra Daytona was an obvious choice for me to illustrate. The title is Leaf Blower because it conveys that opportunity of cutting loose on a back road some place. Where the only other objects on the road are the leafs from the trees.]]> Sun, 28 Jan 2007 23:32:44 +0000 http://sideache.cgsociety.org/gallery/456999

My 5th place entry into The Journey Begins WIP competition. This image was a complete joy to work on. Inspired by two classic cars that I have - a 1962 Mini Cooper and a 1959 Frogeye/Bugeye Sprite.]]> Sun, 28 Jan 2007 21:09:18 +0000 http://sideache.cgsociety.org/gallery/362183

In the future, technology allows for a prolonged life. Science has made it so that individuals can have some organs and body parts replaced. However, they have not come up with a way to stop the aging process to the skin. The story is set in the future, naturally, with this detective that has been prolonged. He doesn't quite fit in because he is old school. He shops on ebay to find old Hawaiin fabric so he can have his shirts taylored. Nobody messes with his shirts. Eventhough he is mocked because of his old school ways, he is still a butt-kicker. Kind of a Sam Spade meets Bladerunner meets Zombie. Going for a mix of campy (Hawaiian Shirt look) and action. This was one of the images that I developed for Machine Flesh.

This was supposed to be my Machine Flesh entry. Like a cheeseball I posted another file after my supposed to be final entry. The Detective, which I like, replaced this one. This was the intended entry. Oh well!! I won't hairball like that again.

This is a study from a model of an M-5 Stuart Light Tank, World War Two. The composition is my own. I often times use old plastic models as reference in order to create an illustration.

This was one of the character concepts that I did for machineflesh. I never took it to final because I went with something else. I finally decided to take it to finish since we've had all this rain in SoCal. Can't get outside, may as well finish an old painting.

This is a concept image for a forest dweller. Done in painter. I wanted to keep it more painterly.
