Commissionary

Recently I was asked to design a cover for the upcoming book "Knights in Shining Spandex" by Emily Bentz.  After reading through a brief synopsis of the plot and characters it sounded like an interesting endeavor and, since I've never made any money off of my art before, a chance to become acquainted with the world of commission pieces.  It's a cool idea for a story and if any of you are interested in the superhero genre, I recommend keeping your eyes open for it in the future.  Anyway, here is the cover I came up with for the book.  It may differ slightly from the final design but the core is solid.

I realize compared to most other blogs, 1000 views is barely an accomplishment, but given that this started out with no intention of anyone but my collage professors seeing it, I think 1000 views is pretty damn impressive.  So in the spirit of my initial posts, I'll give you a preview of some work I'm doing as part of a class. These are the initial stages of design for a character I will eventually be modeling and animation in 3D using Autodesk Maya.

So, it's been a while without a post, so I decided to go rooting through my old pieces and I picked out some of my favorites.  I'll be explaining these as I go so I'll get right to the pictures.  More after the jump.
