White Walkers Redesign

Had some time over break to work on an online contest piece. White Walkers Redesign from Game of Thrones TVseries.  a TON of fun. I am not expecting anything but I enjoy the design challenge and love the subject material.


Edit: Just found out I recieved 3rd place for the Gnomonworkshop 2d image challenge. The gnomonworkshop is an amazing learning community for artists and it was amazing participating in such a fun event.

Overall, this contest was insanely fun and I  hope to be able to share my work with such an inspirational community once again.

Art Bonanza - End of First Term!

Hey all and Happy Holidays. So I just finished my first term at Art Center and this
is some of the work I produced. A mishmash of various styles and subjects. Cheers.

 This is an illustration of the aftermath of Pompeii. Digital.

Called the 64 Heads project, we choose 32 famous artists from history and had to do a mastercopy of one of their works and then a self-portrait in that same style. Most of the mastercopys are painted with acrylics or ink. The self portraits are mostly done digital.

I love scenes of giant monsters, however I am fairly new / bad at it. This is an attempt.
