So if you're a fan of the Skylanders series and have picked up a copy of "Skylander's Trap Team," then you're probably familiar with the Golden Queen.  She was the first boss concept I worked on for Trap Team.  We went through many iterations and this is the concept we went forward with.

Here are a couple more of my concepts from "Skylanders Trap Team."  These two are creations of Dr. Krankcase, one of the escaped villians from Cloudcraker Prison.  They are really fun to fight against in game since they both have fun attack modes.

Here are a couple sketches and the final color concept for "The Gulper!"  He's the first major bad guy/criminal that you are tasked to "trap" in Skylanders Trap Team.  The Gulper's in-game model was sculpted by David Bunn, another talented character artist that I have been lucky to work with at Toys for Bob.  The animators did a great job animating his mouth while still keeping the personality conveyed in the concept.  I did a ton of sketches for this guy.

This is a personal concept I did recently.  When I was in art school I used to love zoological drawing and always found myself at the Mandrill exhibit.  They are amazing animals and incredibly fun to draw.  The fur was a challenge but I learned a lot about which brushes work for me while painting hair.
