Creature Design, going out my comfort zone =)
Werewolves: Werewolves have been designed and redesigned for ages, and most follow a standard design. I wanted to keep the iconic look but with a twist. This project was definitely out of my comfort zone when it came to drawing, but since I absolutely love horror/thriller films, this was close to my heart.

Aliens: Who can say they were never influenced by H.R. Giger's Alien designs? Who I tell ya?! Well, when asked to design scary and creepy alien designs I definitely wanted to give a unique approach but keep to the familiar designs that have already established fear in the populous! I wanted to also keep design to real creatures, especially underwater monsters!

Character Design, comfortable, but still pushing it =P
Clockwork Thieves and Stowaway: I knew right away I wanted to go with a Steam-Punk theme, preferably cartoony, but as I went through the design process I pushed my style to a simplistic form.

Never finished this one to it's fullest, but I'm still happy with the results.
Labyrinthian Goblins: When asked to design goblins for the world of Labyrinth I jumped with joy, it was definitely something new, but since the world has already been developed, all I had to do was keep to the style. We played mainly with shape design, and started to refine from there.

I've been working on a lot of contract art, so much of the work I'm doing is confidential, but believe me, if I could post it, I would! Thanks for reading =D
