Last week’s Weekly Draw Off was David & Goliath.

Nothing could compare to the perfection of my previous post, but you gotta start somewhere…

This image is part of a group of concept art pieces I started a little while ago. It took about 6 hours, from start to finish. Anyway, I hope to continue creating a few more semi-realistic images like this one. Photoshop makes it so easy to paint!

I am proud to say that my wife, Erin, and I are expecting our first child in mid-July, 2012! We are insanely excited and grateful that God chose to bless us in this way. What He can do with a couple cells and some DNA is amazing!

The Weekly Draw Off subject due Friday, Jan. 6th was Tyrael from the game Diablo. This was a tricky one since the character is so well defined. Some of my WDO friends did awesome work bringing Tyrael down to earth already, so I went with a plain old redesign of Tyrael’s armor and stuff. Not my favorite WDO image. Weird pose, and I didn’t really flesh out the design much. But, is ok.

The Weekly Draw Off subject this week was simply “Polar Bear”.

Drawn for the Weekly Draw Off.

This one started out as a simple solid line on the page, no sketching or planning. No figurative lines or anything. Just drawing the character from head to foot without a plan. Kind of the way I used to draw a long time ago.
