Epic Greek Stuff part 2

Master Chief Helmet variations

Those were done for fun, before Halo 4 got out. (fan art.)
I always liked the design of the helmet and decided to make a few iterations, that could be worn by other Spartans.

Ariel as Pestilence

"Fairy tale as rider of apocalypse"

Here is Ariel as Pestilence. I had this whole idea where she would be riding an undead seahorse and all, but time only permitted me to go with this portrait. I will try to go back to it later, since my idea for her mount is very clear and I think could be great.

Spike-Bearded Alien

Getting back at concepting, trying to catch up for the last 3 weeks spent in sculpture-land.

Here is a portrait for an alien with a spiked beard.


Anatomytools.com workshop

I just came back from an intensive 3 weeks anatomy/sculpture workshop at AnatomyTools.com in Alameda, CA.
I had the best, most intensive learning experience of my career. Thanks to Andrew Cawrse and his fellow instructors as well as the ATC crew that worked non-stop to make this an unforgettable experience for the attendees.

I had the opportunity to meet a lot of amazing people and I am grateful to have crossed their path and shared these memorable weeks with them.

Thank you.

Here is a picture of myself in the middle of a session, drawing John, one of my favorite model here in Chicago. (Picture taken by David Jamieson for their website.)



Portait drawing - Laura

Here is a portrait drawing I did 2 weeks ago at the Vitruvian Fine Art Studio. This was done in one sitting with charcoal on white paper.


Alien Zombie Apocalypse

A few thumbnails I created this week. I tried to approach the topic on two sides; Earth zombie apocalypse infested by aliens and a zombie apocalypse on an alien planet.

Eye of the Beholder

Here is a 3d concept I worked on last week. The idea was to re-design the classic Beholder into something new and creepier.



New Blog!

Welcome to my new blog! I decided to transfer  my previous one here instead, Blogger being more suited to my needs.

I will keep this blog updated as much as possible, as well as conceptcombat.blogspot.com, a blog I have been running with an artist friend of mine, Lyle Moore. Check it out too!
