Jinx

I started making a fanart of Jinx from League of Legends a few months back and kinda left it unfinished when some freelance stuff came up. Finally got around to finishing it. I really like this character :)

Sanshee and Bioshock Infinite


I've been working with sanshee.com for some of their videogame merchandise products and one of them just got released. If you order any of their Bioshock Infinite products, you get the holiday card I did for it free with your order. Check it out: http://sanshee.com/blog/entry/bioshock-infinite-holiday-launch-blog

johnlyart.com!

Finally stopped being lazy and spent a few hours to build a new site. Using just Notepad and Photoshop to make it from scratch, I easily spent less than 10 hours total by the time I finished it. I should've done it sooner :( Check it out: www.johnlyart.com

Warhammer - Lilith Abfequarn

Here's some Warhammer fanart. She's Lilith Abfequarn, Inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus. She made a brief appearance in ones of Dan Abnett's Ravenor novels and had a bigger role in one of the Gaunt's Ghosts novels, making her over 300 years old. In Gaunt's Ghosts, she was described as: "A tall woman who dresses in a simple uniform of black; boots, breeches, jacket. Her ash-fair hair is worn pinned up tight around her skull and her face is calm, lean, angular and beautiful." I put her in a bodyglove and Inquisitored her up a bit, because who dresses like a normal person in Warhammer art?

Elizabeth from Bioshock: Infinite

I did this one last month of Elizabeth after I finished Bioshock: Infinite.

Digital Portfolio

This is the stuff I've done for digital portfolio so far this semester. I think I got better pieces out of this class than in narrative painting last semester. I was trying to do some more portraiture for this class because I need to get better at it.

I contacted artists on DA asking if they had stories I could use for illustrations for this class. Got lots of half-assed stuff (sorry guys, don't hurt me!) and some weird stuff too, but there were some others that were somewhat promising. This one was for a character called Lilith. She's like an ancient Egyptian turned vampire through her use of blood magic.

This was a mock cover for ~ruzkin's book, Century of Sand. Yeah, portraits!

Then I started looking up lore for Legend of the Cryptids cards and doing my own take on them. This one is called Lantern Goblin Laborer. It's about goblins that deliver jack o lanterns to villages at Halloween. Definitely my favorite piece from this semester and it got into the spring show too!

"Dorothy, Magician of Hope". It's about wicked witches terrorizing Oz and Dorothy coming back as a spellsword to combat them. I really like this one too.
