Defiance

Moved down to San diego in 2012 to work on the Video game and Tv show tie in project Defiance which just shipped. Ive put up a sampling of the work on my website and ill be using this blog to post more detailed sets of work and sketches and also speak a bit about the process of designing it. Hope you guys enjoy it and feel free to comment as usual!

Powersuits!

Recently did some character sketches since i havent done sci-fi characters in a while. I wouldnt call them 100 percent done but im rather sick of them and thought id post them up to get some feedback, let me know what you guys think!

environments!

Heres some environment stuff i did recently. The second image is a bunch of thumbnails i did based on the same color scheme and a vague idea of a, mystical epic environment.

sketches

Got inspired from playing way too much black ops and decided to sketch up some war scenes. Very fun and different from what i usually do.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2

Im about a year late with this post but better late than never i guess. Here a small sampling of work that i created for The Force Unleashed 2 which i was lucky to have been a part of.  Please check out the rest of the concepts i created for the game at my website : - www.conceptsbyjia.com

anyways! did this piece for the company christmas party competition thinger. Still needs a little work here and there but i am rather sick of it at this point.
a little shameless homage to a childhood hero

Discombobulated head in a mech

been a bit caught up with work these days but heres a mech sketch i was working on just to indulge the mech-freak in me. Im usually doing env stuff for work and freelance so this is a nice change of pace for me.
dont ask me how the dude fits in there, my default answer is always that its a wounded veteran hooked up to a life support system. : |
