D02: DOS DIABLOS!

Music inspired by the game "Tempura of The Dead", by 8-Bit Fanatics.
Original composition by yours truly. Give it a listen!

C06: CLEAR SKIES AHEAD

YES! Day job has returned to normal! Money is in the bank, a trip to New York City this weekend is in the works. Things are already looking up!


[A selection from my still-being-worked-on commissions list.]

-That said, unfortunately San Diego Comic Con is off the books. There was no way between getting set for Japan, and the events afterward for me to put in for attendee badge or pros applications. I miss California already, but another time... 2012...

-I'm deferring to the trifecta of Otakon (end of July), Anime Weekend Atlanta (late Sept.) and New York Comic Con (mid Oct.) to make my presence felt. Really it's always the fall where my work picks up, so things should work out just fine.

-Still an unhealthy stack of work to finish, so maybe this place in April will be my checklist.

B15: OPERATION FARAWAY

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Gradius, my absolute favorite video game of all... 3 years in the making, is a complete concept album! Original tracks inspired by, and remixes of some of the most recognizable music from Konami's flagship shooter (plus some obscure favorites from other worthwhile Konami shmups.) "OPERATION FARAWAY", I propose to release by the end of the year in a physical form -- but online you'll be able to check out new tracks as I release them on Youtube! Look for more in the coming days! And tomorrow... DESTROY THE CORE!

B13: FAR TOO LONG

Far too long since the last post. Gonna keep it short and sweet -- so LISTEN UP!

B08: GROWL, FROM THE DIGITAL HAZE

Chalk up one finished commission. 100% digital work. Go me.

B07: FROSTPOCALYPSE

So very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very tired of snow.

Clockwise from top left:

-Continuing work on commission from last year's MTAC. Way late, but out of control color work. I want this one to count!

-Sketchwork for another request, a Draenei mage. No, I don't play WoW.

-A portrait, semi-cute styled bust for a friend's business card. This'll look good! :)

-Finally, an unreleased pic from last May. A commission piece that fell through the cracks sadly. But it's really cute and was a fun piece to draw.

A42: VALKYRIE BRIDE

A rough sketch for a wraparound cover image. It's to the wedding program book for one of my best friends. Designing the "Valkyrie Bride" robot was the most challenging, but most fun part of it all.
