Comic Mummy




Client: JT Sports

I did this piece overnight to help the company out. Pretty traditional comic art approach. Pencils, inks, then over to Photoshop for the coloring. Client loved the piece but the product it was for was never released. Someone once told me the style reminded them of Jack Davis, which is much too high of a compliment. Still flattering of course. ;)

Frost Giant Attack

Client: AEG

This was an illustration for the Warlord CCG. It had to be sliced into several separate cards, so that created some restrictions in the composition. I'm pretty happy with how the giant turned out.

Khan's Defiance Logo Design

Client: AEG
Packaging Designer: Mark Jelfo

One of my favorite logos for the L5R game, and I really like how it was utilized on the packaging. The colors were chosen to represent one of the major clans in the gameworld.

Full Clip Event Banner Designs


Client:
Full Clip Paintball

These two 8' by 10' vinyl banners make up the walls of Full Clip's tents at Paintball events nationwide. The black banner's crest image is also a popular t-shirt design.

Legend of the Five Rings Book Design

Publisher: AEG

I was trusted with the venerable Legend of the Rings franchise when I worked on staff at AEG. It was the first full-color book in quite a while, and I was able to choose art from almost ten years of the game's history.

Worr Machine Logo & Box

Company: JT Sports

I designed this while I was on staff at Brass Eagle/JT USA/Worr Games Products, or JT Sports as they are now known. The company has a tricky name and lots and lots and lots of people to go through, making for an over-inflated review process.

The gears and logo are on a flap that flips up to display sales bullets and marketing copy.

Witch Hunter Logo

Publisher: Paradigm Concepts

Witch Hunter is an interesting RPG about... well, hunting witches. I like the cover they designed and the art they commissioned.

Tomb Boardgame Logo

Publisher: AEG

Check out the logo I did for a fantasy boardgame called Tomb, by Alderac Entertainment Group. They have a pretty nice looking web page up for the game. They commissioned the box art to match the logo.
