Red Balloon

Like it says...

World Below...

A bit more "Tiberium" artwork.

These are views underneath a huge platform structure that supports a future city, shielding it from a harsh and poisonous environment...

As with a lot of the design work on "Tiberium", I modeled and lit many of these elements in 3D. This allowed for a high degree of consistency in our concept art and the final in-game assets.

The views shown here are more or less "straight-out-of-the-box" 3D renders, with minimal retouching. An additional layering of detail would be painted in to achieve a richer look in the concept artwork - when time allowed for it (quite often it did not!).

Here I MUST mention - We had a great art team: Jeff Hua, Ino Karella, Takeyoshi Sato, Jason Park, Raj Rihal, Kevin Swartz, Kenrick Leung & Chris Miller producing concepts, producer Jon Grall, and the project art leads: Jason Priest, John Decker, Ken Bishop, Robert Coddington & Billy Brooks... I'm sure I've forgotten people but it's just my brain damage and certainly not intentional!

The Tower...

An immense alien structure dominates the Tiberium ravaged wasteland that has spread over much of Earth's surface... silent, enigmatic - its origin and purpose a complete unknown...

These early concepts - generated primarily in 3D - helped to unlock the visual signature for this post apocalyptic science fiction world.

The Tower was to have served as an iconic landmark in the game, not unlike LOTR's Mount Doom. It was the Dark Place where the Bad Guys came from...

It's not advisable to get too close!

The Mediterranean Sea Floor, littered with abandoned ships... another environment study...

Still More "Tiberium" Visuals...

Two more images randomly chosen from the colossal archive of concept art lurking on my backup drive...


Both images feature large airborne cargo ships - one of many background elements developed for the project.

The illustrations are elaborate 3D setups, doctored up in Photoshop.

A Quiet Town...

There's a story here, but don't ask me what it is!

Unfinished WIP Environment...

I'm not sure what this will look like when it's completed, but it seemed kind of interesting in its present "empty" state.
I start a lot of images, set them aside, then return to them at a later date - hopefully with a more objective take...

More "Tiberium" artwork

Wow, there's a lot of artwork from this project in the files!
This craft is the main transport for the player. It was designed entirely in 3D, as a fully articulated geometry...

"Tiberium" Armor Viz Dev

This was the player character for an ill-fated game project. There were a lot of iterations during a hectic 3 week push to design this character...

I worked on "Tiberium" for several years, and sadly it was canceled well into production. There's so much artwork, it's hard to know what to do with it, but I expect I'll post a few more examples now and then...

Last Light

A quick color study

A Weekend Job...

An illustration for a proposed video game.
This image incorporates a lot of photo reference, which I generally try to avoid - but with a tight deadline, it's a big time saver...

Sci Fi Vehicles

Watch Tower

... a very quick sketch

Space Structure

Abstract Forms

Robotic Machine

Some Vehicles...

I did warn everyone that I have a large backlog of material...

Landscapes

Iterations

The same basic sketch, finished in 2 ways...

A Quick Doodle

Quick Experiment...

More Mechs...

Mech Sketch...

This and other mechs are also posted over at the Nuthin' But Mech blog. They're just quick sketches done in Photoshop...

Landscape Sketch

... no fantastical elements in this one

A Simple Landscape...

I had some photo reference for this, but the image is entirely painted.

Another crash site... or two...

... Which I admit is a favored theme for me...

A few stragglers... 2D & 3D

A few more here...

While I'm at it...

Here are a few more sketches, most of them recent. I have a fairly huge backlog, and these are being picked at random, so please bear with me. And I promise it will not be 3 more years before the next update!

Well It's About Time

Considering it's been something like 3 years since I put anything up, it seemed like high time to post a few items...

These are just a random assortment of "speed-paint" sketches done in Photoshop.

A Stubby Ship...

Flight Line

Another little doodle...

Last One For Now...

I made a tree brush 1200 pixels high, so the trees took about 15 seconds...
But the horse took longer than the whole rest of the image...

A Few More...

These are miscellaneous Photoshop exercises...

And Some Stuff From and Upcoming Book...

These are much more finished pieces, and many elements were made in 3D. They were created for a book: "Concept Design 2" from Design Studio Press, which has a lot of artwork from a lot of REALLY good concept artists. Check it out at www.designstudiopress.com...

More Stuff From the Vault...

I have a sizeable backlog - so I'll post it in manageable chunks for now...

Recent Digital Sktches

This is a random slection of recent artwork - as I just get this thing started...

Online Sketchbook

This is where I will put random digital doodling and other recent artwork - I'll make this up as I go...
