This character concept came from a personal project inspired by a series of great ape and hominid drawings I did in college. The image of Professor Primatus is a take off on a portrait of Frank B A Linton by famous American artist, Thomas Eakins.

Sock Puppet is a character concept I’ve been developing for a while, now. She already has a deep back-story and some interesting plots, just waiting to be woven into larger story. I’d really love to do this as a graphic novel someday!

I’ve had the great pleasure to sit in on several classes taught by my incredibly talented friend and teaching colleague, Ed Binkley. Stomph came to life during one of Ed’s Character Concept Art classes, along with a series of other characters with some equally unfortunate anatomy!
