Unused Arcane Horror Concept

When I was working at BioWare they had me do a few concepts here and there, and now that Dragon Age has been released, I can post this. This was a concept I did for the Arcane Horror, though it was not the final design used in the game.

Probably a good call on their part, but I still like him. He's got it all, sort of a Medieval-knight-Egyptian-mummy-native-American-shaman kinda thing going on. Throw in a crown, a few feathers-- shit, he's all set. Gotta respect a zombie making an effort to accessorize.

Happy Halloween

Horror Bunny Loves You.

Sketchbookin'

Decided to do some sketching OLD SCHOOL style the past couple days, watching movies while I drew on PAPER. With PENCILS. I know, it's crazy. Anyway, I discovered I'm pretty rusty, but here's all the stuff I drew that managed to resemble the things I intended them to be: Donatello from TMNT and some miscellaneous 'stuff'.

Captain Canuck

This is 1 part of a larger drawing I'm working on, but I realized it wasn't gonna be done in time for Canada Day. So since I haven't posted anything in a while I figured I'd crop out the Cap here and post him by his lonesome. He'll have to do until I can finish the rest.

Happy Canada Day!

Deviant Art Links

In the last little while I've come to realize most people I talk to seem to think Deviant Art is a site for 16 year old emo kids to post pictures of vampires on notebook paper and bad poetry. That's completely untru.. well okay there's actually still tons of that. HOWEVER, the site is becoming increasingly more mainstream and is really built for networking with other artists. Blogs are a great way to showcase your art, but someone has to specifically come to your blog to notice you. Deviant Art has a favorites system, where people can mark their favorite work by other artists, and those works are displayed on their main page with links to the original artist. People can choose to go to your gallery based on your work rather than just a name link they see on a sidebar. It's almost impossible to visit an artist's page on Deviant Art without seeing a piece by someone else and then checking out their gallery too.

Here's a few professional artists from comics, animation & commercial illustration I follow on Deviant Art, I recommend checking out their galleries. Some of these guys don't have blogs, so this is the only place they post new stuff:

Chris Sanders
Stephen Silver
Shane Glines
Adam Hughes
Sean "Cheeks" Galloway
Skottie Young
Bob Strang
Adam Warren
Khary Randolph
Ed McGuinness
Jim Lee
J. Scott Campbell
Mike Krahulik
Leinil Francis Yu
Jack Lawrence
Alex Garner
Chris Lichtner
Todd Nauck
David Colman
Francis Manapul
Derek Fridolfs
Ryan Ottley

Not just for Goth vampires and Sonic the Hedgehog fan art anymore!

Hot Dog

I'm playing a ridiculous amount of Team Fortress 2 lately, to the point where I'm now thinking about it when I'm doing other stuff. Sketching today resulted in a bunch of TF2-inspired cartoons, though this is the only one I finished up. This is my Steam avatar (greycoyote3000) as my favorite class in the game, the Pyro.

Bravestarr for our Art Blog. I know Judge J.B.'s gavel never looked like that, but I felt like drawing it huge. If you don't like it, draw your own!
