Prison Planet Concepts

Recently I contributed to an ongoing 6 part tutorial series on the pipeline of concept art in video games. The series is comprised of environments, characters and vehicles/props. I was lucky enough to work with two powerhouse artists in the game world, Thomas Pringle and Craig Sellars. I came up with the game idea and basically the 3 artists just went to town! Thomas did environments, Craig did the vehicles and I did the character tutorial section. Here are some of the images that are included in the magazine spread...

I joined another art blog that just started up. The idea for this particular blog is to post a piece of art on a daily basis... uh... mmm...

Hey all, here's an update from me I know it's been a while. My buddy and fellow concept artist Marco Nelor and I are doing a friendly little "VS." project where I'm doing a series of concepts for a Vampire race and he's doing the Werewolf race. It's all for fun and we're just trying to push each other. This is my first concept, he's just a citizen of the race. Stay tuned and we'll be sure to post the rest of the series in the near future.

hope y'all dig 'em!
