Toughset Select; Art and Commentary

Streaming a playthrough of Deus Ex Human revolution and holy crap I swear you play as the broadest shouldered individual feasibly possible

Cuz Ghost in the Shell is awesome

Monkeys are great for experimenting with facial exaggeration

Insomniac makes great characters, and Captain Quark is by far one of the best ones you just love to hate!

Hollow point Inari rounds, Digital rice camo and ginger cloak, Salmon polymer padding guards, Kikoman soy sauce scope, and a Negi-drilled barrel with hand roll silencer

Best Overwatch waifu. If you think differently, visit your local doctor cuz you’re wrong.

(ok I gotta do it digitally, but still wanna get in on all this again!)

“44″ - 1 hour vent art. Haven’t done these in a while. Tried referencing Ross Tran while doing this, still got a ways to go for sure.

Future Friggin Archer - Impulse of design between “Ghost in the Shell” and “Overwatch.” Had fun with this one.

Master Shogun - Had some fun with character proportions. Got a ways to go before I can emulate CreaturBox’s style, but it’s a start!

Cyber Valkyrie - She’s the one that fights viruses atop your firewall

NOKBAK IS GO - MY GAMEDEV PITCH GOT SELECTED!!! WERE GETTING DINOS WITH FRIKKIN LASERS YOU FREAKS!!!

“Mirage” reference sheet - This was a fun side project I worked on. Making a character to fit into the world of “Overwatch.” I had this idea for a sniper class that, instead of mobility like Widowmaker, or Utility like Hanzo, Mirage could use stealth. The only gimmick is it’s for a limited time, and he has to stay stationary in order for it to be active. His story-in-a-nutshell goes like this; The arabian deserts have been long war torn areas for the fight over oil, despite the rest of the world advancing to the future. Mirage’s father was a hopeful engineer on finding more potent and effective ways to utilize natural “green” energy, in hopes to quell the conflicts. But to do that, he needed to prove to militaries and armies that oil wasn’t worth fighting over. So he developed “clean weaponry” as a result. Unfortunately before it could reach frutition, his labs were raided, and he himself, kidnapped. The marksman hunter “Mirage” is now on a manhunt for his father, and the forces that seized him. Using the technology his father developed, the assailants will never see him coming...

loading screen art for Project Vanguards. The last one I got some help on from Sam Neilson (That guy is boss!)

Concept process for the “Lightning Knight” for Project Vanguards, the gamedev project for Byu 2016. This one was a challenge cuz using too strong of lightning motifs gave for more of a superhero feel than an actual “knight.” Not to mention all the knights had to use roughly the same rig, so there wasn’t much flexibility with body type. I didn’t get to model the guy due to time and UI work, but it was fun to pick up the torch on this one while the other artists were doing their finals!

Concepts for the “Cannon Knight” for BYU’s Gamedev project for 2016. The final image is some rough paintovers of what the final skin could look like. I wasn’t on the character design team cuz I was assigned to the UI work, but still wanted to do some stuff with characters.
