Office Weasels

I received a request to do a game around weasels in the office. I took that and ran in the direction of making them "caricatures" from the show "the Office." A show, that when i have watched ( a total of 2 or 3 times) i have found entertaining for a good half hour. After this I'll probably watch more. So if their personalities arent captured enough i can go back and tweak.

Urban Cougars

This was a new term for me obviously because i havent ran into one as of yet... but i was assigned a game called "Urban Cougars" They are older rich women who "prey" on younger men. Words were added later to the images, The girl in the bikini was calling for the Cabanna Boy, the girl with the whip was calling for the Stable Boy, the girl in the garden was calling for the Gardener... and then i obviously had to do one of the guys who is the "victim" - i figured a buff handyman type guy would do.

Christmas Card

Here is my submission for the Christmas Card for Universal. The guys pictured are who make up the "Three Horsemen" of our company. Or as they like to call themselves... President Mike, President Joe & President Shawn (in that order). First real attempt at using drop shadows in my illustration... as i usually go for the "flat" vector art look. There were so many colors going on here i do think they help seperate things a bit. I kinda like em, doubt i will use then for everything here on but ya know, they're cool once in awhile.

Steve Jobs

Latest illi for Art Jumble. Theme was Nerds. Who better than the founder of Apple.

Zombie Ed: I Got Wood

For Zombie theme over at the art jumble & my first attempt at flashy flash

Ahnolds

This game was kinda fun... I had a specific request to do certain "Arnolds" - a young bodybuilder Arnold, a Terminator, a Conan, a Twins version, and an older Governor Schwarzenegger.

Daisy Dukes

These 3 girls were done the same day (and weekend as it turned out) as the 3 below. This game called for girls in Daisy Dukes, obviously. Their feet arent "chopped" off or missing, they got cropped in the final output. Again I like em, but I think i will go back, add some more details and give the poor girls some feet!!. Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines.

Beach Babes

I like these kind of games... I get the title "beach babes" and a simple sentence... "please create babes at the beach" Thats it. Nothing else. I do them, turn them in, they are accepted, and I move on. Couldnt go any better!! Well, the deadline was one business day and i had to do these AND the 3 above soo they arent as detailed as i would have liked but none the less... they are a good start.

Rear Ends - AGAIN!!

Well so the customer changed their minds about having people in the game so they suggested animals. And they were specific as to which animals they wanted. Who knows their rhyme or reason but i got a request to do a gorilla, a moose, a tiger, a donkey, a hippo and a skunk. I like the top 3 MUCH more than the bottom.

Rear Ends - the Girls

Here are the 3 girls that accompanied the 3 guys from an earlier post. I liked the way they turned out for the most part... a few things i still would like to change/add (my sketch had a leprachuan the Irish girl was looking out) but, as usually seems to be the case in charitable gaming, I ran out of time and they needed this "yesterday"...

Dancing With Stars

I had forgotten about this game I had done awhile back. One of the games where i sat down and did everything from start to finish in Illustrator. Not one sketch was used for this. I really enjoyed it, and I like the simplicity they each have... although it sure does seem to take a loong time to make things look "simple"! - Anyways, from top to bottom -
1) Jerry Rice and his dance partner
2) J. Peterman (from Seinfeld) and his dance partner
3) Stacy Kiebler and Mario Lopez

Blondie

Latest illi for Art Jumble. Theme over there was "Spaghetti Westerns"

What's In the Box?!?!

My second contribution to the Art Jumble... man I dig that place. I was a day and a half late but i swear i had the sketch done on friday.

Miyamoto

Tis was my first post over at Art Jumble... theme was Video Games.
Soooo I did Miyamoto - Head of Nintendo, created Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, Zelda, etc - I'm really diggin the Jumble... lots of cool cats pumpin out amazing work, & it gives me some much needed motivation to create something new every week

From the Back

Got an assignment to draw some muscular guys and pin-up girls with their backs facing the viewer...(girls post to soon follow this) I was, as is no surprise, more excited to do the girls than I was the muscle men. But I was pleasently surprised with how the fellas turned out. When doing the girls I wanted to give each of them their own "theme" or environment. As opposed to just random people standing with their backs to the viewer. So here are the 3 guys first... a "dad" type grillin outside, a surfer, and a cop.

Camels

Well I recieved a folder not too long ago requesting a camel/desert themed game. And wouldnt ya know it... they called it... Cameloot. BRILLIANT!!! Sense an overall theme here? Dino DOLLARS Camel LOOT. Anywhoo the camel symbols you see here have negative space in the sky - thats where the dollar amount goes. So now you can run and tell all your friends about what you learned about charitable gaming today. Negative space in symbol = Allows placement for $ amount. Unfortunatley as usually seems to be the case here, I was pressed for time when it came around for the backgrounds... they could use some more shadows etc to really "plant" them in the ground so to speak. I also felt it necessary to have one of them smoking a cig... unoriginal, yea but hey whattya gonna do.

Boys of Summer

Well this is a game from a month or so ago. They (customer) wanted baseball players... Did a really cartoony Babe for the header and then they specified The Mick, Roger Maris, P.Rose & Kirby. Most random cast of players? Yeaup. Their reasoning... Mick: was their favorite player -Maris: true home run leader -Kirby: the customer is in Minnesota -P.Rose: Cause hey, its a gambling game. Yeeeaaa whatever, I just try to make pictures.

Surf Party

Well, another example of someone tossing me a folder with a name on it. Obviously in this case the folder was branded with "Surf Party" Above is what I came up with. Keep in mind that there is a heirarchy to these things. Each one of them is tagged with what we like to call in the gaming industry a tier (dollar amount) Hence the reason for the cool guy surfing followed by the guy just chillin on the beach with his board, and lastly a shark. I like em but Im still working on my black outlines. Seeing how they get sized down tremendously... black is usually the way to go to make them... and I cant believe I am even using this word *sigh* ... "pop".

Dino Dollars

Well people here is my first entry. Im trying to get hip with this "blog" thing everyone keeps talking about. Anywhoo, an assignment at work. I get the title "Dino Dollars" and a "artist's choice" (which basically means, give us something great or we will burn it out in the front yard, dance around it, call you worthless, and tell you to do it over again) -This is what came from my head. Side note one of these was inspired by another illustrator Dani Jones. Highly recommend checkin out his stuff if ya geta chance. Annnnd here they are!
