Demon Hunter - Diablo 3

In honour of the release of Diablo 3  by Blizzard in half an hour (UK time), I took some time off from my graphic novel and decided to commemorate This Game which took entire hours away from my teenage years (I do not regret it).  What else can I say? I cant wait to play and free the world from a reign of fire and evil!

I was invited to be part of the guest week at the great DUNGEONS & DRAWINGS blog, so I did one of my favorite monsters/characters  from the monster manual 2.  I havent played Dungeons and dragons in ages :(  I should look into it.

KINGDOM HEARTS.

 felt like having a go at drawing Sora on my new sketchbook and then decided to put some colours on it. My old Flat mate would skip university to play this game all the time so every time I see anything related to the game it reminds me of him.

Golden Campaign. Chapter 2.  the Graphic novel.

I finished this piece which started in my sketchbook a few weeks ago. I’m publishing it this week to celebrate the launch of the game BATMAN IMPOSTORS.

The Game seems like loads of fun and I can’t wait to play it and  customise my own Batman Impostor to kick some Joker ass. Dont forget to be part of the hashtag battle that’s happening on twitter to see who’s got more supporters..Batz or Jokerz…You decide.  

“YOU WANNA PIECE OF ME BOY?

I did a sketch of this piece a few days ago and decided to clean it up and put some colours on it. Marine corps for ever! that was my moto when having a good Starcraft session.  SC2 came out and I just couldn’t believe it, it came out after such a long time. I love this game and these characters were part of my childhood. I hope you all like this piece. 

After a day of work at the studio I decided to come home and finish this piece that had been neglected by me before Christmas due to planing for the graphic novel I’m working on and finishing my sketchbook for The sketchbook Project.

Princess Mononoke is one of those films that have influenced me and my work heavily, so I had to get this piece out of my system at some point and draw my own version. I have to say I had a great deal of fun working on this and it was truly inspiring.

One of my childhood friends decided to pimp up his studio in Canada with one of my prints making me feel very flattered about it. If it’s ok for me to say, I think it looks really cool :D 

Pages from Golden Campaign, Volume 1.

I have recently shared  some preview pages of my Graphic novel “Golden Campaign” with some fellow illustrators and creatives, After keeping these pages in secret for a while.The reaction I got from them was rather good so I am very pleased with myself as I have also decided to work on the roughs and lay-out pages everyday to speed up the release date of the first chapter. I have been working closely with Daniel, My co-writer from America who is full of great ideas and always  brings great  input into how we go forward with the story. 

After some agency work I was told a really cool digital agency was interested in my work so I decided to change my main banner on my digital site to wow them. you can check the original banner and change my superhero out-fits here:

Started off as a lazy sketch on Saturday and well…now is editorial material.

After I got a few emails from people asking me about this character’s tattoos and how they related to the story I felt like like doing another shot where his tatts can be appreciated.

So far the only tattos with relevant information to the story are the one on his chest which is from the clan he first belonged to and the one on his left arm are all related to the infantry wing he fights with. His hands say wild and gold, which are crucial to the struggle of his people. 

Let me know what you guys think and keep the questions and emails coming :D

Well, I decided to do a very dark and noir shot but it all ended up looking very christmassy ha ha…the snow, the Santa Claus lookalike…oh well , I still like it , and in my head he is still a tough snow warrior with his fox pet companion.
