Monster design for Hellgate: London. This guy ended up working really well in the game. I didn't know what a Skeksie was when I painted this but people have pointed out that he kind of looks like one, heh. Mainly this was using an existing skeleton, so I was trying to make him look as different from the monster he's based on (he was kind of a lava monster I think) as I possibly could.]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:52:24 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/680768

This was the splash screen and downloadable wallpaper for Hellgate: London's Abyss Chronicles. The "darkform" character design was done by my lead, Lee Dotson, and I merely painted him in a pose in a scene that looked like our new area, The Abyss. Mainly just trying to make some exciting new art to get people excited to play the first time they loaded up the new patch. It was also kind of a fun exercise in a rather odd color combination ]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:44:08 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/639875

A character design for a comic I was going to make and never did. She's a mech pilot. Also, she don't take no guff.

This started out as a pencil sketch and I just painted it out in Photoshop CS2. I modeled her guns in Sketchup 6.0. ~40 hours I think.

Comments and critique are very welcome ]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:02:25 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/562419

This illustration was done for the Girls' Thunderdome on conceptart.org. The theme was fairy tales, and I chose the Grimm story The Girl Without Hands http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm031.html. I chose the story because it was disturbing and creepy, so I wanted to get the same feeling for the illustration. I also wanted an Old Master look to the colors so I used a restricted palette of mostly yellows and reds, no green and very little blue. I used a few webcam shots of myself for reference.]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 20:59:20 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/548737

It's just an armor design for fun.]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 08:01:44 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/538858

Orthographic view of a creature/character design for an illustration I'm working on. Kind of wanted a slightly creepy, less human angel than typically depicted.]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2007 21:16:37 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/529969

Illustration for school... I was trying to depict a king who had fallen from power but retained his pompous royal dignity despite his diminished surroundings.]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2007 01:56:26 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/529968

Illustration for school. I was trying to express the sort of happy sadness you feel watching kids grow up.]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2007 01:53:36 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/424083

This piece was created for conceptart.org's Chick Who Draw Chicks Calendar, and won the big print slot for November.

My main goals were the narration, color scheme, and stylized yet relistic rendering.]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 14:50:58 +0000 http://nonie.cgsociety.org/gallery/381965

She's a superhero taking a permanent vacation. I was going for a very arrogant, formidable, self-posessed look on this woman's face and a tropical atmosphere to the background. Pencil sketch painted in Photoshop. Comments and crits are much appreciated!]]> Sun, 16 Jul 2006 15:10:32 +0000
