Wizards of the Coast - D&D Illustrations

These were done for a Dungeons and Dragons game book that was just released. Both done in Oil on hardboard.

Still Life Studies

Here are some fruit studies from a still life class I took a while back.

Long Head Drawing Demo

Here is a demo done in what we call our Long Head Drawing class. Done in graphite, these drawings are good for taking the time look for the subtlety in form. We use a smooth velum bristol paper and various grades of graphite. I like to also use a mechanical pencil.

IlluXCon Preview 2 - Phara Dar

Here is a second preview for a piece that will be available at the IlluXCon this November. This was done for Sony Online Entertainment's - Legends of Norrath card game.

Portraits in Oil

Here are a couple of portraits done in oil. The toddler portrait was done as a commission for a friend of mine. The other was done as 3hr study in a class.

More Still Life

Long Lost Card

This card was one I did way back on the second set of the WoW TCG. I thought it got lost. This was done about 2yrs ago. It's cool to FINALLY see it released.



Here is one from the LON Online Card game.

IlluXCon Preview 1- The Offering

Here is one of a new set of oil paintings I've been working on for the IlluXCon in November. I'll be exhibiting several new paintings at the show. Once a month until November, I'll post one new illustration. These will be available for purchase at the show.

Figure in Oil

This was done from a model about 6-8hrs. I wish I could have put more time into it. I'm still not happy with the head or hands. They are laid in alright, but still need some work.

Graphite Portrait

Here is a graphite drawing that I started as a demo in our Long Head Drawing class. The poses are usually about 9-12hrs. I encourage the students to work from a photo at home because this particular method is a slow one.
