New stuff!

WOW. So a bit like clockwork I trail off on posting during the holidays then need to get back into the swing of it.  So here's some news and art in order of oldest to most recent:

My first resin kit is now available!  I was incredibly excited when Dan of Dan's Dinosaurs contacted me asking if I'd be interested in producing my T. rex model as a resin kit.  That was a big goal of mine when I started to do sculpting fairly regularly, and within the span of 7 months from seriously starting it I accomplished it.  You can pick up the model at Dansdinosaurs.com either finished or unfinished.

I'm currently finishing out my next dinosaur release, Nasutoceratops.  I'm right now finalizing my pose choices, and it should be released in the next month or so if all goes smoothly.  Here are some fancy renders of it with a paintjob! First for my models, was quite pleased.

I'm currently enrolled online at the Watts Atelier! It's exciting to be able to finally set myself on the path of learning how to paint traditionally, which has been a long term goal of mine for quite some time. These are some early skull/head studies, but there's more to come and I plan to document most of my growth.

Annnnd speaking of heads, here's a recent head study.  It's clear that my skull studies are already paying off a bit, at least to me.

So here's to a new year of growth and progress! Expect more to come!

Amargasaurus now available on Shapeways!

Currently very busy with work, atelier classes, and a move into a permanent house, but I wanted to mention that the Amargasaurus models are now available on Shapeways in 1/40 scale and 1/72 scale!  You can view them by visiting my shop (link is in the right hand column.)

Something I dug out of my hard drive two weeks ago...

Found this to show to a friend who asked about it - I did this waaaay back in April-May of 2008 as part of my Senior Project for SCAD.  The poem was written and narrated by my friend Ben, while I laid out the storyboards and designed characters, settings, and props.

I even did a maquette for the main troll in this, and I think it was one of my first attempts at sculpting in Chavant.

It's rough in a some spots here and there, but I think the general feel is pretty good still, and some of the sight gags got a chuckle out of me after looking at this again. If I ever wanted to revisit it I'd love to do a new pass on the boards and see what could be improved.

Finished penciling the short story...

I squared some free time away recently to finish up penciling this short story and make a few tweaks to some of the panels I wasn't pleased with.  Now to letter and ink it!

Playing Catch-up...

Realized that it's been ages since I've posted anything on here, so here's what I've been doing lately - This big guy is about to go into production real soon, so I'll have more details when that's available.

And here's some recent doodles and two more comic pages.  Just two more to go!

Comic Pages

Lately I've had the itch to work on some comic stuff again.  Nothing long form, yet, just some short stories here and there.  This is one that I've gotten halfway on penciling, about another 4 pages to go before I can start inking it.

New Stuff!

Looooong absence since I last posted - mainly from getting settled into the new house after the move, then falling into some new freelance work while continuing dinosaur sculptures.

In anycase, here's new sketches and a preview of the next line of models I'm working on!
