My work for the tabletop game GODS is back up on my website! Included are outtakes from the game like this sea monster.

Me drawing/painting/sculpting every detail on my monsters by hand when perfectly good brushpacks exist.

I’m updating my website! Currently, it features 140 pieces of artwork across six portfolios, including one for my movie monster fan art!

Little model painting project before I get back to work: HydraSFX’s Shrieker figure! Wanted to take a pic of it under midday lighting.

Share a horror movie that isn't talked about enough 🎥😱🖤 It’s talked about a little. But it could be more.

A little before Monster Hunter Wilds released last year, I was doing some doodles for an entry idea I had which I called Monster Hunter Tides. It had a Polynesian island flavor to it and would’ve had an emphasis on water-to-beach combat.

See this? QRT with your ghost art.

Some digital thumbnails for D&D chromatic dragon artist proofs. Not sure I’ll actually make them, but I liked the idea.

It looks like fairly soon, I’ll be sharing what I consider some of my best work yet for Magic the Gathering!

May planner, thinking in text: Week 1: Finish some commissions and artist proofs. Week 2: Carnosaur puppet and model painting (including this awesome Shrieker from HydraSFX!) Week 3: New portfolio demo pieces. Week 4: Start back up on figure prototypes (B-Grade Crater Lake Monster and Yonggary!)

Just a little more Month of Monsters for now. I’m gonna be doing some experimenting to get a level up in before Month of Monsters 6 in October. That will include more time, careful planning, and use of reference for lighting.

From Hell. Month of Monsters 5.

Extinct. For Month of Monsters 5.

It’s apparently #PortfolioDay again. I’m an illustrator and concept artist who works primarily in fantasy and horror. I’ve done work for Magic, Dungeons & Dragons, Centipede Press, Draco Gaming, Arkhane Asylum, and more.

Apparently they're starting to call it “synthart”. I think you know exactly what “it“ is in this scenario.

Leg. New practice doodle working with base “sculpting”, detail-free.

Anyone else having trouble accessing Facebook right now?

Happy Easter.

Fly. Color practice. Pencil, Procreate, and Photoshop.

It’s rising again this April!

Another from the archive: My first project I contributed to out of college was the tabletop RPG “GODS”, on which Bastien Lecouffe Deharme (my illustration teacher in college) was my art director. These were some early colored pencil pieces before I switched to graphite.

Looking through the archive: I found this one from I think 2014, for an idea of a Critters remake. I think for my tastes now, this maybe is a bit of a departure from the source material.

Anyone who is waiting on something from me, I appreciate your patience! I’m getting to the last few in queue next week after this project I’m on wraps up.

Critters sees its 40th anniversary April 11!

The Fly (David Cronenberg, 1986)

Gore: Avatar of the Gods Cover illustration for Zach Cole and Cody Bratsch's upcoming sequel to their novel "Gore vs The Cryptid Kaiju"! AD Zach Cole, 2026.

Either they’re super close to getting it or they get it and don’t want it.

Watching people talk down to B-Z grade monster movies daily with balled fists.

Mutant head. Practicing some more with penciling. Smooth Bristol is probably my favorite paper, it picks up fine marks most other papers I’ve used don’t.

Dino Dragon 2026. Added a photoshop body to a procreate head render. The head got the same amount of time as the rest of the body, around 6 hours for each (12 total).

Two D&D red dragons

A little more scalework on the practice dummy:

I think that was it. My last attachment to modern mainstream film has been cut. I am officially an old-movies-only guy.

I have experienced Things (1989) for the first time. That was an experience, all right.

QRP with your sketch vs final!

New horror den buddy: Homunculus!

Artist friends: post a monster! One of my pieces for the 2024 revamp of Dungeons & Dragons.

Green Dragon Practice. Made in Procreate.

Crop from yesterday’s sketch, this time with bumped up color. I’m trying to get back to color, there’s been a while recently where I’ve been pretty muddy.

Blade. Color doodle.

Every so often, I wonder why I haven’t engaged with anything Game of Thrones related, and then I’m handily reminded of why I haven’t engaged with anything Game of Thrones related.
