Damn-dirty-Ape Concept

I am having a tough time calibrating my monitors, so my apologies if the image is a bit dark.
This was really fun to play around with as I had not done an ape concept before.
If this guy was walking around my hood, I'd be terrified. I want to know what he is thinking!
I'd also like to know what you think...

Succubus Concept

Here is a concept for a succubus that I finished but will be redoing. I thought of her as a young woman that could not age but was centuries old and cursed with a disastrous appearance. Banished to spend eternity alone, she was only surrounded by the riches of men who would attempt to overtake her wealth, only to perish at her hand.

 

Pterosaur - Hornbill concept art (Version2)

As promised, here is the Pterosaur-Hornbill concept Version 2! He is a little more whimsical, less-sinister looking than the first concept.

This concept was done as homework for Jerad S Marantz ' Creature Design class as Gnomon. This is version one, I will also be posting version two. Enjoy!

Monsters, Tremors, and Demons, OH MY!

I had attended the very first Monsterpalooza back in 2009, and after easily making my way around the show, I didn't expect to wait in line for over an hour to get into Monsterpalooza 2011. The Fire Marshall threatened to shut the event down while the line wrapped around the side of the Burbank Marriot Convention Center. Ghouls dressed as zombies and swamp monsters were just as frustrated as the humans awaiting entry, but we made the best of the beautiful day and soaked up the sun (vampires excluded, they grabbed shady spots).The annual show features amazing vendors, FX artists, cinema makeup artists, horror movie actors, and even has a museum where you can tour through an all-star lineup of movie creatures and sculptures. An amazing sculptor and painter, Tim Gore had a booth this year adorned by eyeballs and human teeth, while artist Jason Hite showcased his illuminated and intricate sculptures that give me bad dreams of when robots take over the earth and harvest humans for their organs. Oh we all know it won't happen, right? *awkward chuckle*

I would suggest anyone that enjoys creepy artistry and horror flicks to check out Monsterpalooza next year. They're convinced they will have it at the same venue. *cough* let's hope not *cough*

Here's a drawing I finished a few weeks ago that I felt would be perfect in accompanying a few photos I took at Monsterpalooza . He's cuddly, ain't he?

 

A real Graboid!!! YEEHAW!!

WELCOME!

I suppose that because this will be the first post in my blog that I should tell you about myself, come up with some creative quote, or say something revealing... but I won't.
With this blog, I will be posting current works of mine, sketches and finished products.
I hope you like what you see, my website is in the works.

This little creature was a quest of mine to explore what kinds of creatures might exist on another planet. I also wanted to explore textures that were familiar to our animal kingdom.
