Halloween Funtimes

So, me and my friends are all huge nerds.  One of our more recent obsessions has been the film "Pacific Rim" and so a bunch of us decided that this year we were going to dress up as characters from the movie, however we added a twist.  Given my friend Ethan's and my visually creative disposition, instead of simply copying an existing character group, we invented our own.  For those not familiar with the movie, one of the primary elements of the universe is the existence of these giant fighting robots called Jaegers which are piloted by 2 people who share a unique ability to link minds and think as a singular unit.  Ethan and I played the parts of the pilots while my girlfriend, Jill, took on the role of our jaeger, which we named Archimedes Tangent.  Anyway, just for fun, here are our final costumes as well as the sketches of Archimedes Tangent as we imagined it after the jump.


From left to right, Ethan, Jill, and myself.

Off the Cuff: Swords Vol. IV

I really hope you're not tired of swords by now.  If not, great news, I have a new batch to put on display and several more ideas in the works for future designs.  However, those of you who cant bear to see another sword, great news, I've been working on a new set of drawings that will hopefully be making their appearance on here in the not too distant future.  Something fun I noticed while I was leafing through my sketches is to see how the designs of the swords I draw have evolved over time.  Check out volume 1 of swords and this volume and you'll see what I'm talking about.  And as always, feel free to leave a comment about any of my work.  Any feedback is good feedback.  So, here's the sample sword of this group, more after the jump.
