This piece was done for a class project in which we were asked to depict something internal externally.

Here the internal ferocity of the chihuahua is shown by the shadow looming over the larger dogs.

The title is a reference to the saying "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog" by Mark Twain.

The Dying Orc

The Dying Orc

digital, 2014

 

This piece was done when I was studying art history. It was inspired by a piece called Dying Gaul from the Greek hellenistic period.

I chose an orc for this piece because they are the prototypical fantasy bad guys and I wanted to portray one with a bit more empathy.

Quality Honking

Quality Honking

Colored pencil, 18 x24, 2015

 

This piece... requires some explanation.

 

Basically, former baseball player and author of Keepers of the Sandlot Bill Severns came to speak to our class at the Kansas City Art Institute. During his talk he brought up the topic of migrating geese and how the classic V-formation helps weaker flyers keep up with the flock.

Anyway, he said something along the lines of "That's quality honking", and this is the result.

Little Black Train

Pen and Ink, Digital, 2017

I am in no way affiliated with Mr. King or the upcoming movie.

Alexander Ulfursson - Human form 01

Alexander Ulfursson - Human form 01

Pencil, 2017

These are designs for the protagonist of a webcomic project I'm developing. It follows the adventures of Alexander Ulfursson, a young man who discovers that he is a werewolf. The comic follows him at various points in his life as he seeks to understand his own nature.

Alexander is a sullen and antisocial character who feels like an outcast wherever he goes and has difficulty trusting anyone.

Alexander Ulfursson - Wolf form 01

Alexander Ulfursson - Wolf form 01

Pencil, 2017

These are designs for Alexander's wolf form.

I wanted Alexander's wolf form tolook unique from the multitudes of werewolves who have appeared in media, so I looked at multiple creatures besides wolves for reference including baboons, hyenas, and gorgonopsids (a group of prehistoric reptiles).

Alexander Ulfursson - Human form 02

Alexander Ulfursson - Human form 02

More studies for alexander's human form.

One of the concepts I had in mind for Alexander was that even in human form he would look strange, with massive amuonts of body hair and strange proportions. Because of his unusual body shape, Alexander finds it dificult to find clothes that fit him, adding to his sense of being out of place.

The Silver Man 01

The Silver Man 01

These are designs for one of Alexander's opponents, an enigmatic monster-hunter called the Silver Man.

The original concept for the Silver Man was that he would be completely clad  in silver armor to protect himself from supernatural creatures.

Alexander Ulfursson - Age Progression

Alexander Ulfursson - Age Progression

Digital, 2017

 

This is an age progression study for the protagonist of my webcomic project.

Since the story would follow Alexander from childhood to adulthood, it was important to figure out how he would look at different stages of his life.

I also wanted to maintain a consistent color scheme throughout in order to aid recognition.

the design for Alexander is close to the final, but may undergo some tweeking, specifically in the body hair thickness.
