Crystalline Roots

A couple backgrounds for an iphone game I'm working on...
also a chance for me to try out more digital painting in Photoshop. It surprising how quickly random landscape forms can be painted out this way.
Some inspiration came from an artist I met once, Gabe Leonard. Really swell stuff. His work is traditionally done... sometimes makes me want to dig up the old oil paints, but my turpentine fearing braincells clutch to pixels..

Ta-da !

a Clueless Magician: This was just a tiny sketch I found in my book-- felt like throwing some color/texture on it. I don't think it's in my usual style, but I've been watching/reading a lot of Mike Mignola's stuff.

I just finished watching the animated version of "The Amazing Screw-on Head". Zombies and Vampires and Lincoln ! Material just cool because it it -- a nice departure from overly serious subjects (in both news and art~).

Wrench ball !!

A randomly constructed digital sketch. Interpret accordingly.

One interpretation: a futuristic game of dodgeball/lasertag-- but the balls are bombs which you have to diffuse before they explode with parts to build lasers with...!

I dunno. I think i just wanted to draw a guy with goggles :]
