Cyclops Sketch
Here is a sketch for a cyclops/ogre I have been working on. I'm almost done with the final color version and will post that shortly. I'm going to make him albino which I hope will look interesting.

Skylanders Trap Team: Troll Tank!
Here are the sketch concepts I designed for the Troll Tank from Skylanders: Trap Team. I iterated off of I-Wei Huang's concept for the Troll Mech from Skylanders:Giants. I designed the tank to break down into parts as you fight and progress through each state of combat. At the bottom you can see each panel or destructible part highlighted each in a different color.

Bad Juju - Skylanders Trap Team!
Here's the concept for "Bad Juju" from "Skylanders: Trap Team!" This was a fun character to design and I love the effects of the in-game attacks. I have yet to trap and play this villian but I am looking forward to it! I'll be posting more soon.

"BOMBSHELL!"
This was one of my favorite characters to design while working on Trap Team. Turtles are always cool. I can't remember who came up with the name "Bombshell," but I think it's perfect. I love his in-game animations and the themed music he runs to is a blast (pun reluctantly intended....). We did add a helmet onto him as a variant late in development.

Skylanders Trap Team expansion level concepts
Here are a couple concepts for the Light Element expansion set for Skylanders: Trap Team. "Luminous" is the boss villian you fight at the end of the expansion level. I still have not had a chance to trap and play as "Luminous" but I'm looking forward to it. The second concept is a weak enemy that attacks you in swarms. He basically just charges and headbutts you with the blade on his helmet.

Gamorrean Guard Fan Art
I have not done fan art in years. I thought about all the things that inspired me as a kid and the three that jumped to the top were Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. Star Wars is what inspired me ultimately to become a concept artist. I learned from looking through "The Art of Star Wars" books and spent countless hours looking at the concepts from Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston and Nilo Rodis-Jamero.
