Self Portrait...again.

Yeah...another self portrait. Working on painting. Anyone know of any good tutorials? Did this in Painter and Photoshop.

Back from London.

Hey everyone, I am back from my month + excursion to London. Which means that I will be working on some new artwork. If you have any suggestions/advice of things you would like to see me create, please comment here. Thank you!

New Art

Hey everybody, since Comic-Con is over I will be working on my own stuff for awhile. I have a couple projects in the works, so expect to see new art on here soon. Thanks for all your support.

Geisha

Working on more painterly type art. Feedback Please.

Emulation - Atsushi Okubo

Done in the style of Atsushi Okubo. The artist of Soul Eater.

RADIOHEAD - Flat Color

Who knew that the members of Radiohead actually had radios for heads? And they have coffee breaks when they are not making music.

All of the radios are modeled after real life radios, so next time you see a radio, remember that it has a face. Also, their clothing matches their radios. Such as, the circle on the shirt, the radio has circle speakers. The old fashioned radio has a tie that is the same shape as the speaker holes, etc...

Trying out doing only flat shapes and color, NO OUTLINES. It was tough.

The Anime Me

My old laptop finally crapped out on me so I have spent the past few days re-installing everything on my desktop. I had to create all my brushes again, that was a pain. So here is my latest artwork, oh anime, why must you be my muse?

Balloon Monster and Girl

A big harry monster is handing out free smiley face balloons.

Emulation-Stephen Silver

Again, my character below, but this time in the style of Stephen Silver/Danny Phantom on Nickelodeon.

Emulation-Bruce Timm

Just experimenting with different styles right now. This character is seen below, but it is in the style of the Cartoon Series Batman or Batman Beyond. Bruce Timm was the main Character Designer on those shows...I think. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Vampire Princess and the Bat

After watching a preview for Disney's Princess and the Frog I decided to design a princess. Also, it is getting close to Halloween and then I saw this cool dress at the DI. All that combined together to create....The Vampire Princess. It was sketched out then watercolored.

New Art

Just some new art I am working on.

Makeup #3 Projects

Thundercat: no particular character, just a rendition of a Thundercat. Designed, styled hair, applied prosthetic nose and ears, painted, and added spotted detail.
Vampire: After watching many episodes of Moonlight, a show that should not have been cancelled, I decided to create a Vampire. Designed, styled hair, applied prosthetic ears, painted, created teeth, provided costume. Model provided jewelry from Lia Sophia.

Hobbit: She looks a bit like Pippin. Designed, styled hair, applied prosthtic ears, painted, provided costume and LOTR leaf brooch and Ring.

Makeup 3 class was alot of fun. I learned alot and my sister Melissa Milius was kind enough to be my victim.

Makeup #3 Process and Prosthetics

The process of making the ear molds was fairly difficult, I had to create a complex mold. I sculpted with some oil based clay and wooden tools, then I created the negative mold. The prosthetic itself was made out of gelatin and powdered with neutral base. The ears were then applied with spirit gum.

The prosthetic nose was sculpted with oil based clay, then a negative mold was cast. Then I made the prosthetic with gelatin. It was applied to the model's face with spirit gum and the edges were blended to the face with Witch Hazel.

The teeth were cast just like they do at the doctors office. I then sculpted the teeth with oil based clay, then used teeth resin to created these chompers. I used a motorized shaping tool to smooth the edges. I then painted them with acrylics and clear coated them with finger nail polish.

Makeup #2

Projects from Makeup 2 Class.
We made casts of our faces and then had to create a creature. I sculpted a demon. The prosthetic itself didn't turn out that great because of bad instructions from (someone that shall remain nameless) on how to properly prep the molds for the foam latex.

Makeup #1

Venetian Mask
Kabuki Mask These are some Makeup projects from my first Makeup Class. More info to come...

Comic Book Cover: The Discipliner

This was a freelance job I did for a film group participating in the 48 Hour Film Project. It was done fairly quickly so there are some things on it that I would go back and change, but for now, here it is. I am still not sure if they used the cover. It is suppose to be a spoof on The Punisher. Instead he is The Discipliner. The film was made by Cameron Daley and John Maxim.
