Retro Portfolio Work - Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2010)
Good Morning Folks,
On this fine Turkey Day / Throwback Thursday, I find myself recalling a bit of work that amused me greatly. in 2009 I did a bit of unaccredited freelance prop work on a film that may appeal to you if you dig the whole Monster Noir genre. It was the film "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night", which if you dug flicks like "Cast a Deadly Spell", it may just amuse you.
For this gig, there was a sequence where there was an ancient text that needed illustrations in a medieval woodblock style. I was fortunate enough to have the fun of doing that spot of work.
Cheers!
If you find yourself curious about the film, here be the IMDB Page for it:

Portfolio Work: Ben 10 Omniverse Development - Big Chuck
Portfolio Work: Ben 10 Omniverse Development - Big Chuck
Hey Folks,
Of the many shows I have had the pleasure to work on, I always enjoyed Ben 10 and it's various spinoffs. Here is a sample of some early development for the character "Big Chuck" which was a hybrid of two characters the I developed for the original run of Ben 10, "Waybig" and "Upchuck". I enjoyed getting to to get do freelance on designing the Hybridized form of these two aliens for Ben 10 Omniverse. The hybrid aliens concept for Ben 10,000's alien options originates from the Ben 10 episode "Dr. Animo and the Mutant RAy". My heart felt thanks to both Derrick J. Wyatt and Matt Youngberg for inviting me to help out on their fine incarnation of that franchise!
Cheers!

Portfolio Work: Charmcaster Dragon Metamorphosis Development
Hey Folks,
Of the many shows I have had the pleasure to work on, I always enjoyed Ben 10 and it's various spinoffs. Here is a sample of that goodness for an episode that featured Charmcaster the sinister sorceress. I developed her for the original Ben 10 series back in the day, so it was fun to get to freelance on designing her dragon metamorphosis for Ben 10 Omniverse. My heart felt thanks to both Derrick J. Wyatt and Matt Youngberg for inviting me to help out on their fine incarnation of that franchise!
Here we have the some of the rough designs for her dragon form and using a Fire Breath attack. I like drawing beasties of all sorts, so this assignment was great fun to design.
Cheers!
