Vapor Ape!

Trying to come up with a logo for my buddy's band and I really wanted to have a rocker Ape in the forefront! Here's a rough sketch of the direction I want to go!

I was going for an elven sorcerer or warlock...

I don't know about the rest of you, but my memory retention is a million times better when I doodle while listening to someone speak. I mean no disrespect...its just how I roll. Well the only down side to this is that sometimes you may have some seriously good ideas but they end up on legal notepads like this guy! EEP!

Concepting a ZBrush character...

I sketched up this chica via tablet pc using Alias Sketchbook Pro. Thats right folks...Alias. As far as what I was going for?! I don't think I was aiming for anything in particular, although when I look at her sometimes I feel like I she may have a little Avatar in her? Maybe just a smidge? Either way, since I'm trying to learn ZBrush I wanted to concept something to focus on.

Uncle Beezer!

I created this guy to serve as the crotchety older uncle of my company's mascot Munch. His name is Uncle Beezer and he is the bane of Munch's existence...always reliable to cause nothing but trouble. Some say that Uncle Beezer exposed a non-wary Munch to Gamma Radiation when he was a child, hence the reason Munch goes Mean on everyone when he's angry...

"Eye" see you...

I signed up for a monster painting workshop with Don Seegmiller and let me tell you...that was fun as hell. This was one of the earlier pieces I worked on so its still kinda rough in bits and pieces all over, but i still liked this guy enough to post him.

Tribal & Tattooey!

This guy looks like a cross between Darth Maul and a bearded Elf! I'm not entirely sure where I was going with him...but I like it!

I will name him, The Blue Meany!

I'm new to digital painting, and this was a value study I did for a work shop class I participated in.

Dont make me cut you...

I was going for serial killer eyes and a look on his face that SCREAMED "omg...I dont want ANYTHING this guy is selling". And then with all that I thought I'd give him them floppy ears to kinda offset the creepy-factor a smidgen...
