This a collection of some of the weapon concepts I designed for Skylander: Imaginators.  This was a fun part of the project since we could be very creative and ridiculous regarding the ideas we could get away with in the Skylanders universe.  Honestly, there are ideas that pop into my head now that I wish I would have thought of before the game came out.  Aaargh!  There are a few here I really had particular fun with....the stop light mace, the pineapple doubler and the stinky cheese wand are a few of my personal favorites.  I hope some of these put a smile on your face.  Thanks for looking!

I wanted to add some updates to my portfolio including sci-fi designs.  This bad boy was one of three different concepts I created using the same body type.

Here are a few sci-fi gun concepts to show my ability to design modern and sci-fi elements.

This is another one of my concepts from 38 Studio's "Project Copernicus."  This enemy character was known as the Nemian Lion.  The Nemian Lion is famous from the Hercules legend and is typically portrayed as a gigantic Aftrican lion.  Our version was a Golem creature made of stone and clay.  I added some Greek scroll work to his design motif.

This is another old concept from 38 Studio's "Project Copernicus" that I'm showing for the first time.  This creature is called a Sobek.  I have the base design shown on the left with the Shaman costume variant on the right.

Another old concept from my time at 38 Studios working on "Project Copernicus."  This guy is called the Aroltal.  Another one of my scaly friends.  I don't know why I torture myself with scaled characters.  I love the process of drawing and placing scales but halfway through I want to pull out my hair.  This guy is definitely inspired by the Anklysaurus.

This is an old concept from my days at 38 Studios.  There is actually a lot of work that I have not posted from my time at 38.  This guy was a fun character to design and his model, by Billy Ahlswede nailed the concept.  I'll be posting more of my work from Project Copernicus over the next couple weeks.

I've always wanted to create a samurai and cowboy mashup concept.  I tried to bring together separate elements from both cultures in a way that balances and represents both equally.  I love the black rimmed hats that Kurt Russell, Sam Elliot, Val Kilmer and Bill Paxton wore in Tombstone and thought the stark black combined with the red mask and armor elements would be captivating.  I imagine this guy is the "Darth Vader" bad guy in his world.

I really enjoyed drawing this piece.  Orangutans have some of the most interesting shapes and body anatomy.  This drawing style really has evolved from my love of shape language and line work.  I love creating the feeling of one shape flowing into the next.  I tried to keep the color relatively simple to highlight the underlying shapes and line work.

Here are the initial concept sketches for the Doomlander enemies in Skylanders Imaginators.  I had a fun time working on this set of characters and I think the 3D character models and animations looked great in the game.  These original sketches changed a little as I created the final concepts but the overall look and personality of the characters remained the same.
