"Cruel Fredrick"- This piece was created from a german poem I read in which a rich little boy wrecked havoc on a small village. I created the setting in 19th century Romainia. Painted with photoshop.

Hitomi and the Baku
The baku is a japanese mythological creature which I tried to reinvent, and the female was created to be the trainer of the baku. With her drum staff, she calls and sends the baku off to relieve humans of their bad dreams. Living in a realm of dreams, the trainer and creature are each other's only company and best friend.

"Davinci's study"-
In this project I tried to re-create Leonardo Davinci's study. I imagined it to be an old castle-style building that overlooks his small Italian home town "Vinci". In these images, I am using his experimentation with a large telescope as the point of focus. Here I have provided you with three interior shots so you could get a good feel ot the castle and one exterior shot to show the placement of the castle to the town. Photoshop used on first and second image.

"Sea Creature"-
In this piece, I was trying to create a large underwater creature which maintains a symbiotic relationship with the people of a floating island. When the fish was young, it battled a giant squid which broke it's back. The people of the island created this backbrace/harness to help the fish live. In return, the fish allows the people of the shell island to anchor onto it so it can move the island accordingly with the seasons.
Painting of the final version was created using photoshop.

"Sheyda and Quij-Tribe People"-
For this project I played with the idea of an ancient civilization that lives on an island in a time when there were but a few islands on the entire earth. Here is some concept drawings of some tribe members and a more fleshed out character design of Sheyda. She is the main character of the story. After painting her in photoshop, I then took her design and formed a sculpture using clay.

"Barnstormers"
Here I was challenged to create a team of World war II pilots who after the war is over, turn to aerial acrobatics to make money. Here are three of my favorite characters and some ideation sketches for their plane. Cannonball's special move is jumping off the wing of the plane and cannonballing into a pool of water. Flyboy uses the flaps of his suit as gliders and soars from one plane to another. Then there is Petey the dog, the only dog to play fetch on top of an airplane.
