Maori Warrior

A Maori warrior for the latest Character Design Challenge, projecting his tribal tattoos through a Haka

Wax pose sculpts

Some quick wax sculpts to work out posing for a gladiator character.
A handy way to test lighting and perspectives.

Taurian Centaur

My response to the the Character Design Challenge theme 'Centaur'.
I decided it would be fun to create an alternative bull-human hybrid

Doodles

An in-progress freehand doodle

Merman

Latest Character Design Challenge entry, a merman rising from the abyss

Dublin Illustration Workshop

Great being part of the Dublin Illustration Workshop in Digit today, hosted by Denman Rooke.
Took away some brilliant tips and direction, here's my plant-insect hybrid to show for the days work (inspired by Sundew plants)

Animation Art Show

This is my piece for the latest Animation Art Show, Snarley the Friendly Bear.
Standing at an intimidating 6cm high and made from polymer clay.

Legend of Zelda

I don't usually produce fan art, prefer to come up with original designs, but got a kick out of working on the new Character Design Challenge theme: The Legend of Zelda.
This is my take on Link, with a 'webslinger' undertone

Viking

Another Character Design Challenge with a Viking theme. His warrior senses are tingling

Imp

Quick vector Imp character

Roller Derby

My concept for a Roller Derby Theme in the latest Character Design Challenge: A Blocker taking out a Jammer

Tiny Thief

I think this is the result after years of Zelda games and a pinch of Shadow of the Colossus.

The idea of a tiny hero, facing impossible odds against a towering foe.

Xenomorph

There comes a point in life, when you get a hankering to doodle a Xenomorph...

Spider

A quick spider creature concept in Photoshop; poised and ready to strike. Making use of classic horror poster colour combos like purple and green lighting to enhance the eery effect.

Desert study

A quick 'dry desert' study. I aimed to get across that arid feeling, and mirage effect you see in deserts using a heavily textured brush in Photoshop.

Wolfish

Trying to capture the blinkless stare of a wild wolf, and adding a bit of 'gothic' lighting.

Shaolin

A Shaolin monk partaking in some transcendental flame transferal, for the latest Character Design Challenge.

Poseidon

This is my version of Poseidon for the last Character Design Challenge. I went for a design that was slightly more animalistic/ alien.

Zbrush sculpts

In the early stages of learning Zbrush. Having fun, but still alot of technical 'best practices' to become familiar with. Onward and upward!

Gargoyle sculpt

A slightly more ambitious, top-heavy sculpt which is taking quite a while to smooth out using rake tools. Still needs some horns or ears to enhance the overall appeal. Using up some standard Super Sculpey, but looking forward to moving on to new projects using the grey coloured 'Firm' edition.
My style is heavily influenced by Darren E. Marshall's http://dmarshallart.com/ candy for the eyes!
