X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition Concept Art Part 2

Somehow this slipped by me and I never put up more art from 2009's Wolverine movie game.  This stuff is from the jungle flashback.  If I recall correctly we were looking to have it somewhere in southeast Asia but then the movie changed it to Africa to have them look for Vibramium or something like that.  There's tons more so I'll sort through it and put some more pages together.  Hopefully it won't be a year or two between that.

Some early grayscale paintings and drawings.  More of a Asian feel than African.

Here's a discarded boss battle idea.  We would've had a mutant able to manipulate the big temple.

Working with a designer on a puzzle idea on how to get across a gorge.

Concepts for assets that made it into the game.

Proposing ideas on how we can inflict damage on our hero.

Random assets and area concepts.

Ame Comi Pinup

Here's a sample pinup of how I'd draw the characters for DC's Ame Comi comics based off the figure line they have.  Didn't get the main job but would still like to do something for it when I get the time.

THE VIDEO GAME GALS KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN IS UNDER WAY

My creator owned project, Video Game Gals, is now a Kickstarter Campaign to be finished up, printed, and made real in the form of an 80 page hardcover graphic novel.  All the details can be seen at the Kickstarter site.  Please check it out and support them!  Thank you so much!

The Star Trek/ Legion of Superheroes Hardcover

IT'S OUT!

Really nice package that IDW did for it.  I am honored to see our work collected like that.  I think Amazon still has it at an amazing pre order price, but from what I understand the comic shop versions have a dust jacket that has Giffen's cover on it.

Coming soon! VIDEO GAME GALS: The Kickstarter Campaign

It's not up yet, so don't go to Kickstarter.com looking for it, but feel free to check the site out and the many creative projects people are backing and once mine goes up please join me in getting Video Game Gals out into the real world!  I'm planning on starting it before Comic-Con International and ending it after Chicago Comicon in August.

Pixel Art

Here are three characters I concepted for a pixel art test.  Each character was to fit in a  20 by 20 pixel box.  You might have to really blow them up to see what detail is there.  Pretty fun as I've never done it before.  So if you need pixel art and like what you see, feel free to get in touch.

I worked on them at a 1:1 ratio.

Star Trek/ Legion of Superheroes #6 Pencil Highlights

Suped up agony booths!  Heroes tortured!  Oh my...

Brainy channeling McCoy.  Me channeling De lancie

Nice caveman shot.

The Amalgam Fatal Five return.

Nice group shot.

and we're back to normal timelines.  Snuck Q into panel 2.  Seemed appropriate.

Not sure if it's canon, but Trelane was from the Q Continuum as revealed in the novel "Q Squared", I believe.  So that's why Q has a Trelane type get up.

Not sure when it takes place but wanted to sneak in as much reference from "Requiem for Methusela".  The robot, and whatever might be on the table, under the sheet.

And a nice shot exploring the wonders of the universe!
