Cloud

Here's my first drawing of Cloud Strife in close to fifteen years. I've always wondered why I never see materia affixed to any part of these characters' weapons or armor in illustrations. I decided to fix that. I have him equipped here with Lightning and Steal materia on the weapon, and Restore, All, and Counter attached to his armor.

Pencil sketch dump

Here are some random pencil sketches.

Some of the crew up at SCDP. Peggy, Roger, and Pete. Pete just stepped in something.

Quick sketch of General Leo from Final Fantasy 6. Nostalgia!

Perseus doodle. I still haven't seen the new Clash of the Titans remake.

Ink sketches - IMC

Here are a few of the ink sketches I did over the course of my week at the IMC.

Illustration Master Class 2012

I was fortunate enough to attend the Illustration Master Class this year, and have my work critiqued by some brilliant artists, as well as work alongside many other talented (sorry Greg) students. It was an extremely intimidating, humbling, exhausting, and exciting week, and I'd gladly do it all over again. I'm anxious to apply the reinvigorated drive to work and beyond.

Here is the piece I did during the week. It's based on the John Scalzi novel "Old Man's War" about some senior citizens who have the opportunity to transfer their consciousness into a young, genetically enhanced clone in exchange for a few years of serving in a space army fighting aliens out on distant planets.

X-Men First Class yearbook photos

Here are some X-men class photos I did last year around the time that X-Men First Class came out in theaters. I thought it might be funny to see them in cheesy awkward high-school pictures. The kind of which they may be slightly embarrassed of as adults.
