A lil xtra...
In my last post, I showed some storyboards I did. Here's is shot #7 from the storyboards after I blew it up and slapped some quick colors on it. Enjoy.

Merry Christmas! Introducing... The Heidinger!
Merry Christmas! Today I want to debut the new IP I've been working on!
This project was created in 2010, in a story-boarding class in college. Little did I know that I would continue to push forward on it and mold it. The assignment was to create a good guy and a bad guy, write a script and direct a fight scene between the two in 50 frames.
This was the birth of HEIDINGER.
The original story was about my character, Jenda, a dragon knight cursed with “The Mark,” who was orphaned as a child when her village was mysteriously annihilated. As she returns to her place of birth to find it assaulted once more, she uncovers a dark legend about the mark that ties into her village’s slaughter. Now she must choose between her knightly duties and her personal vengeance to find the ones responsible for the death of her people so long ago. Aided by her dragon and a handful of allies, she will brave the perilous world of Arius and the unknown forces within, by hunting down the legend known only as… the Heidinger.
This project has expanded into a full comic book series and Wayne Thomason will be joining me to help write the book. Below are my original story-boards and character designs:
So without further ado, here's the finished cover to the introductory Prologue issue of HEIDINGER, due out by March (Hopefully!) :

More album designs...
...this time redesigning and/or improving the covers for New Orleans saxophonist, Brian "Breeze" Cayolle.

It ALL starts with a sketch...
Here's a look at a movie poster that I did for a production company called Eyes Entertainment, Inc. The movie, A Family on Edge, needed the image to have a mysterious feel, as it was a thriller/drama. Using some of the ideas I was given, I came up with the sketch below:
A bit crude but the idea and most importantly, the layout is there. There were a few changes that were made along the way, like the omission of the mouth and the heads were replaced with screenshots from the movie. The final image is seen below:

Practice!
Here's a few nude life drawings I've done. I love drawing from nude models, as this keeps my drawing chops up. You learn correct anatomy and it makes you faster. The human form is also one of the most complex things to draw, mainly because of its individuality.

KILL IDA BELLE
I've done lots of album covers. Here is the most recent one that I can now reveal since it's been formally released. This cover is for an EP by a band named [KILL IDA BELLE] on Monkeygrinder Records. You can buy the digital copy or listen to it [HERE].
Also, there's a kool write-up on them on [here] (third one down) for those who wish to learn more about them. I wish these guys all the luck in the world!
I'm back!
Wow! Two months have gone by without a post! I'm slipping! Of course, I have my reasons- really KOOL reasons. ;)
Right now, I'm working on and will be releasing my own IP! It's a sci-fi/fantasy comic called Heidinger. The art will be by 'yours truly' and will be written by Wayne Thomason. (More on this later...)
Last month, my first merchandising deal was completed for Heidinger, which I'm VERY excited about. The comics and merchandise will be sold here in the future.
From here, I will be actively staying more current with updates. Along with regularly posting more art, I'm working on a better, more proper art gallery as well as a functional store here.
I have TONS of musical and artistic projects that I'll unveil soon but for now it's under wraps. Just know that this place will be growing!
