I developed this fella originally as a 3D spokesgorilla for the Angry Monkey website. Like a lot of the projects we had in the fire, it wasn’t finished when the company imploded.
First hand drawn, then inked, scanned and photoshopped, these images were created as textures to decorate a 3D mansion in a game level built with the Unreal engine. The game is set within an opulent mansion belonging to the owner of fictional “Harlot Magazine”.

Rose and Thorn is a poster I originally worked on back in college. But I liked it so much that I decided to revisit it now that my skills are a bit more up to the task.

Here is a series of 3D turnarounds and facial textures for 3D character designs that I created for Palisades Toys a boxed set of PALz “block figures” based on the 2nd season Halloween episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. All 3D models and textures used for the final figures that Palisades Toys had manufactured in China were created by myself, as were all their accessories.

I never did any work on the Muppet line. But I was a big fan. My connection with Palisades doing the PALz DID get me a lot of Muppet swag though. Anyway here’s a desktop pattern for you Muppet fans out there.
I’ve became active on the Palisades Toys forum shortly after I fell in love with their amazing line of adorable Muppets action figures. The amazingly detailed playsets they have released have prompted a number of fans to make requests. Tow of the most common are the Electric Mayhem bus, and my personal favorite… a wall-mountable balcony sized to fit Statler, Waldorf and their chair accessories.

Ken was impressed enough with my work to offer me the PALz gig, but thought the balcony project wasn’t financially feasible. I’d still love one so drop me a comment if you are a sculptor and wanna make one for me.

These character designs are for 2 members of a team called The Guard. Hera is actually Hera of myth. Unlike her fellow Olympians, she was an emissary representing an alien pantheon when she first met Zeus who was immediately taken with her and gave her the gift of immortality on their wedding day. But the honeymoon didn’t last. Hera dumped her cheating hubby and due to fine print she added to the wedding contract she got Olympus in the divorce, leaving Zeus and his brood to go live with brother Hades in his infernal realm.
Olympian was a magically aged boy driven into a rage by grief, when Hera first found him. She remains unaware of his true origins, and has since engaged in an ongoing romantic relationship. If Olympian remembers his true identity he has never said anything. His strength and speed led Hera to find him a suitable candidate for breeding. they have 2 children.

This is one my earlier websites. It was created for Mark Rex’s final Bridal Collection in 2002.
