Discombobulated head in a mech

Fresh Pastries!

2009-03-30T16:23:00.000-07:00

I was warned that if i kept neglecting this blog, social services would be on my case, so heres some work i completed recently. First up, i have some environments that started off as speed paints and gradually developed minds of their own

Then, we have a personal piece that started off as a design exploration of what a medieval-steampunk powersuit would look like.

Finally, we have some bread n butter rifle designs to keep my head on the ground. Crits are welcome, battering desired!

This piece shows an alternate universe, mining world with equal parts steam-punk and post industrial revolution influences. The foreman with a tophat in the foreground is a tribute to that famous photo of workmen having lunch on a steel beam while building the empire state building.
