Metropolis

My cityscape from Metropolis. Mixture of 3-D and 2d drawing.  Far from finished :)

German trench raider finished

more old roughs

Brit and Austro-Hungarian soldiers.

early Mexican soldier roughs

Two Metro

Early story drawing of casual Freder Fredersen.

I'm just starting out on this drawing of Joh Fredersen.  So far so good :)

Frederson's Office 1

Joh Frederson's office.  The stock machine is on the left and his large desk has a view of the city.  I started this today and want to finish plus clean up.  This is my first real attempt at set drawing and I hope to get better in time :)

Machine Man

Rotwang's Machine Man.  The face is more holographic and morphic but the body is precious metals.  I think the pose is a little boring but so far I am digging this one :)

Maria

Maria from my Metropolis reboot project.  I'm still trying to develop a signature style.

Mexican soldier

French Pilots

Love in

Hair poster created with minimal references.

He's from Flushing.

Walking in Space

Since Hair is on my mind lately, I thought I would do a costume illustration.  I'm going for a not-so-common approach to the look of the musical.  I plan to do a couple of different characters.

Weird walkers

I had an idea where people drive around on huge drivable legs.

Verdun artillery fort

Dawn reconnaissance mission

Early tank ideas

Tank WIP

Some early texturing for my British tank (landship) 3-D model.  Many UVs are off but I'm excited to see how it turns out.

British front-line soldier

New design of a regular Western Front soldier with advanced gas mask.

3D helmet

I'm starting to model a few props.  I spent a few hours modeling this helmet and plan to do texturing soon.  I also have modeled out a tank and plan to post it when its textured.

Gasser and Russian trench raider

I think the gasser turned out pretty well and I'm excited to paint him into a scene.  The Russian trench raider uses accurate colors but may be changed.  Also, a colorized Austro-Hungarian soldier.

German chemische Soldat

Early skeleton of a new German design.  The idea is to have a chemical thrower, much like a flame thrower but liquid chemical poison.

A quick sketch of a French tank and a colorized British
Soldier.  This is my first attempt at tanks and I plan
to do a few more.

German coloring

The German trench raider is historically accurate in coloring, but I played around with the shoulder pauldrons and gave them a copper like feel.  Not sure if that would have been very helpful to a German in the trenches, but it looks cool!

Might go for a more "boiled" leather look next time.  Also, his giant padded gloves are a little too hidden.

Second option

This is more of a late-war color scheme but I added a little of my own style into it.  Also, the armor is more "boiled" leather than metal.  It's amazing what just a different color and a change of texturing can do :)

Two color options

New attempt at coloring the French soldier.  This color scheme is more historically accurate, but the armor is more of a heavy tin type material (early, early tin :))

Armée de Terre

French light machine gunner.  Heavy armor.

Austro-Hungarian grenadier

The armor is not as heavy on this guy but he is still a front-line soldier.  Gas mask technology has advanced since the early days of the war.

British rifleman 1942

Tommy Cold

Early sketch up of a British soldier on the Russian front. 

Alternate History

I spent tonight drawing this German soldier from an "alternate" universe.  Basically, World War One never ended and sort of merged what would be WW2 technology.  I plan to do a few more in this series, maybe some vehicles.

939

Another practice for my Project 939 comic.  The figures are just a quick lighting exercise and not drawn very well.

Project 939

Quick rendering of a building from the comic I am writing/drawing.  It takes place in 1981 at my old university and most of these buildings no longer exist, so I'm trying to figure out the correct look. 

Together at last

Tie Bomber Pilot

This is a design I've wanted to do for a long time.  It's a different take on the Tie Fighter pilot flight suit, but for a Tie Bomber pilot.  I based it on WWII bomber pilot designs and may tweak with a larger coat and different ammo carry.  Part two coming up soon :)

Concept study

I thought it would be fun to re-create a great piece of video game art.  The original image is from the old PC game Freedom Fighters, a story about Russia invading the USA.  This was my first attempt at speed painting though it took way longer than I thought.

Color study

This is my first color study of a painting by F. Usipenko.  The sky in the original painting is pretty great and I tried to tone it down a little :)

In the year 2000

Here is one I did today. It's sort of a future city concept. I think it's okay but may be too cluttered.

50's

I wanted to create that 50's look.

Finally, I have an art blog to call my own. I plan to update with drawings and digital work as soon as possible :)
