Counterstrike 2 Neon Wallpaper - Process

In anticipation for CS2 dropping later this year I wanted to create a wallpaper based around one of the in game operators  with a bit of a monstrous turn to him. The rough linework and colors have been figured out, now it's onto the final version.

Hope you dig it so far!

Update April 18th: Main dud...

Space Devil 4k Wallpaper Process - WIP #2

A bit of progress on the wallpaper - linework is almost there, still adding in extra details here and there. After that's done it'll be on to the base colors - I've colored in the entire sketch so there shouldn't be any guesswork as to the color palette, I'm still happy with the mess of colors from the start so that what we'l...

Warmup Sketches #2

More sketching! Just drawing whatever comes to mind before starting the day. Most of these won't be used for anything besides a morning warmup routine, but sometimes there's an idea that I like that I'll return to at a later  date to refine into a different piece.

Blue Beast Linework + Process

Little creature design plus the Photoshop file of the lines if you want to try your own colors - have fun!

Next letter down!

Space Devil Desktop Wallpaper WIP

Back to the bright obnoxious colors! Working on a new wallpaper again - the linework and colors are roughed in right now, but there's nothing too jarring or out of place so the final design should stay close to this layout. 

Dino Wars 4 - 4K Desktop Wallpaper

Dino themed desktop wallpaper I designed a while back but never released as a high res wallpaper. This is one of my favorite wallpaper illustrations - the colors, the characters, everything just seems to fit together cohesively. And you can't go wrong with dinosaurs.

Hope you all dig the design and if you use it let me ...

Alphabites - Letter B

Second letter in the Alphabites Series.

Red & Blue High res PSD + Linework

Included below is the final high res images (PSD + JPEG) plus the process files if you want to see the breakdown from start to finish. Also included is the final line-work PSD if you want to try coloring it yourselves.

Enjoy!

Alphabites - Letter A

The start of a new series monsterizing the alphabet. I'll be working my way through the rest of the alphabet throughout the year, so stay tuned!

Red & Blue - Linework and base colors

Linework is done! I tried to bring in some more black to offset the brighter colors for the final piece as well as add more detail to the wings.

Next step is working on finalizing the colors and highlights!

Dead Head Sketch - Timelapse

I wanted to share a bit of my sketching process through video form with you guys. I had a rough idea in mind for this and just went about creating it, so there's a few turns and changes throughout the video. 

This would be the normal start to any of my client projects - maybe some thumbnails beforehand but after th...

Red and Blue WIP

I wanted to try something with a limited palette again but this time with some more eye popping colors. 

Violator high res PSD + Phone Wallpaper

The demon is done! Included below is the high res Photoshop and JPEG versions along with a couple phone wallpapers and snapshots of the process. 

Hope you all enjoy!

Violator WIP #2 - Lines and Colors

Lines are done and the base colors have been laid down. Next step will be the shadows and highlights.

Violator WIP

Violator from the Spawn comics. Rough pass with shading and color, will probably be adding more blood and guts. This should work as a pretty solid base so next step is the linework! 

Warmup Sketches

Just drawing whatever comes to mind before starting the day. Most of these won't be used for anything besides a morning warmup routine, but sometimes there's an idea that I like that I'll return to at a later date to refine into a different piece.

Carnival 4k Desktop Wallpaper

Another one down! Here's the final result of the first Carnival sketch started earlier this month. It took a minute to wrangle the colors together but I think they turned out pretty decent, more orange than I usually use. 

Included Is the 4k wallpaper jpeg and Photoshop files plus some phone wallpapers. Enjoy!

Carnival Wallpaper Process (updated Jan 17)

Linework is finished! At this point it's all about color - I've already started blocking off large areas with solid colors to get an overall feel for the piece before going into detail. This way makes it easier to alter them if need be to make the piece feel more cohesive. 

The colors aren't set in stone at this po...

Wolf Head + Process

Started this one with a sketch from my sketchbook. Took a few pictures and pulled the best one into photoshop to refine and redo digitally.

Carnival 4k Wallpaper WIP (updated Jan 11)

A new wallpaper illustration, this one will be done mirroring one side to the other to create a (mostly) symmetrical design. This is the early stages of an idea - it's mostly there but elements may be added or altered as the design progresses.

I'll be updating this one every week so stay tuned!

Update Jan 11: Half...

Fanatic Warrior Poster + 4k Wallpaper

All finished! The shading and highlights are always my favorite part and really bring everything to life. This design was a bit less color intensive but I still like how it turned out.

Included in the attached files are the high res Photoshop file, two 4k desktop wallpapers and a short side by side of the process from s...

Fanatic Warrior WIP - Update #2

Happy New Years everyone! First update of the year - the colors for the main character have been laid down. Next step will be adding the lighting and finer details. At this point, just the flat colors by themselves can look boring and well, flat. But once I'm done with the next step things should be more defined. Stay tuned!<...

Fanatic Warrior WIP - Update #1

Linework in progress for this big guy. Should have more to show next week so stay tuned!

Skull Cane Sketch file + process

Happy Holidays everyone! I wanted to practice with a rougher brush and sketch something holiday themed so here's where I ended up. The brush I used was a standard hard edge brush, pretty much the basic one everyone starts with. I then turned down the opacity to 63% and added a dissolve mode, those helped create that nice chal...
