This piece was done while brushing-up my digital sculpting skills in Ed Binkley’s ZBrush course at Madison College. Sitting Bull had such amazing face. This piece was a great exercise in attempting to capture a likeness in 3D.
During early, pre-production work on the Wolverine Movie video game, I practiced sculpting characters we anticipated would be part of the game. This bust is an attempt at a younger version of the Stryker character played by Brian Cox in the second X-Men film.
One of my many hobbies is collecting toy figures and statues. Nick Fury has always been a favorite character. There were no decent Fury action figures, so I decided to make my own. I sculpted and painted a custom head and also created the suit and accessories.
This is the final design for the elven player-character from the first video game I worked on: Heretic II. Back then, the in-game models had to be extremely simple and boxy. The texture artist painted the “skin” to soften the hard edges of the model and make it look as natural as possible.
Corvus went through quite a few different looks before we finally settled on the final design. Of all the other drawings I did, this was my next favorite. After all these years, I pulled this drawing out of the flat file and began inking it.
This piece is a quick character study for a cartoony version of a Mongol warrior. It was painted in Photoshop on my nifty little Modbook tablet computer over the course of a couple hours. Fun practice!
The X-Men Legends games were full of fun characters, monsters and vehicles. These are concepts for some of the various versions of the Master Mold Sentinel… a huge, deadly robot used to capture or kill mutants.
My old buddy Gary Ellis commissioned this recreation of a great, Bronze Age Hulk cover. The original cover artist, the late, great, Herb Trimpe, was another guy with a flair for composition.
This painting (and the earlier ink drawing) was based on a sketch of my friend Gina. The idea and composition has been fermenting for several years, now.
After buying some of my sketch cards on Ebay, Subby fan and Silver Age collector, Steve Stout asked me to do this fun recreation for him.
