Shes my favorite of all time, beautifully crafted with a roaring engine sound like no other. Eleanor 1976 Mustang GT500.

The toughest part of this painting was the bridge, it contained so much detailing its enough to drive one crazy, and after so much work its ashamed I had to put it out of focus.. sigh.

Painted from two reference pics

An Artist at work. Lack of colors and a heavy outline around his character suggest he is about half way done.

A top secret military group has been working on a dangerous and infectious disease for sometime without the knowledge of even its government. The virus causes severe dementia and rage in its host, but in 2012 while attempting to air transport the virus to an new facility, their military gun ship crash landed over a small town located in the middle east. It was then the government learned of the deadly threat.

Fearing the worst, the government turned to a group of secret agents trained to contain and eliminate viral threats. Vixen and Zero (both commander class agents) were the first to be deployed on this search and rescue mission, but upon arrival they quickly learned this new threat was nothing like they've ever dealt with before. A search and rescue was no longer in effect, their new objective was to seal the town's entrance (Vixen trigger explosion with detonater) and annihilate everyone within it's walls.

Thanks to my good friend Matt Ellis who helped with the story (DUDE YOU ROCK!!) and to friends and family who supported me. I also wanna thank all my CGsociety comrades for feedback and support/motivation. All the best to everyone.

Hi all,

Another piece I did just for fun.

Hi all
I was a bit skeptical about attempting this piece as I assumed that painting how light reflects and bends on metal would be a difficult task, turns out this was probably one one my easiest paintings, the only difficult... well not difficult but frustrating part was painting all 98 bolts on his chest armor and having my computer crash half way through the process! (ya I was this close to eating my tablet).

Turned out okay I think, not too shabby, took me about 10 hours to get to this point, could have painted in more details but I need to more on to the next painting. Hope you all like it
Be sure to check the comparison pic. Oh and this SUIT ROCKS!!!

Hi all,

Just a quick work in progress (WIP) image for those who requested to see how it was done. I apologize for not having one to show for the Iron Man piece as I did that all on one layer. The process is no different here, so for you new and upcoming artists and professionals who are just curious... I hope this will help in some way.

Hands down one of the most beautiful women on the planet!! Adriana's sharp eyes and crazy hair was my inspiration for this piece. I tried to paint her as closely as I could to the reference but decided at the last minute to go with my own colors and textures as the ref was a bit dull. Adriana YOU ROCK!!

Hi every one, finally got my Wolverine painting to a point where I'm okay with it. Would have liked to add more details but I need to move on to the next painting, hope you all like it (not a paint over). Cheers]]> Sun, 26 Apr 2009 12:17:54 +0000 http://snake08.cgsociety.org/gallery/758437

Can you say "BULLET!" lol. Her facial expression was what inspired me to do this piece and ya.. girl with gun equals awesomeness!!.

I tried to paint an exact replica of the original but the reference pic was so low res I couldn't get much from it, in any case I think it turned out okay. Enjoy

A breather from the usual guns, swords and explosions (awesomeness lol ). Originally planned to have this one done in two days but my free time wouldn't allow this

Story:
Little time remains for princess Sophitia as she journeys deep
into the jungle of the forbidden souls in search of the Winged Key to undo the spell of the dark dragon that was cast upon her mother ( the queen of Asria). Sophitia too will be consumed by this darkness should she fail on her quest.]]> Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:00:56 +0000 http://snake08.cgsociety.org/gallery/749989

Hi all,
This is the first in a series of portrait and caricature I plan on doing ( as a break from the more serious stuff). This one is of my cousin Wayne.. well he's more like a brother to me (Bros forever). There's always more that could be done, but as always the next painting awaits. Hope you all like it.

Hey guys, thought I'd upload a page from my comic A-X. Hmph.. bin working on this one for quite sometime now. Even though I did it all in one it felt as though I worked on three separate high res images. My layers were over 9000 lol just kidding, but over a hundred for sure. Will upload some zoomed in shots soon. Hope yall like it. Enjoy.]]> Wed, 11 Mar 2009 14:18:36 +0000 http://snake08.cgsociety.org/gallery/689562

Hi everyone, this is the main character Deago in his normal form from the web comic I'm working on called Armageddon-x. I figured I'd save a stand alone image of him before adding the background. I also try to keep his face hidden until we're ready for launch. Hope you guy's like it ]]> Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:32:11 +0000 http://snake08.cgsociety.org/gallery/821425
