Looking through my artbooks and decided to do something in the style of Ragnar.

Wild Kratts: Jon!

2011-05-29T21:25:00.000-07:00

I krattified my friend Jon! Ha ha! Wild Kratts is a fantastic, educational and artistic children's show on PBS Kids go! Check it out here.

Wild Kratts: Joe!

2011-05-25T21:54:00.000-07:00

Watching more Wild Kratts! My friend Joe requested that I "krattify" him. So here is Joe in Wild Kratts style!

Wild Kratts!

2011-05-23T23:42:00.000-07:00

I have been watching a lot of Wild Kratts on PBS Kids Go!, so I decided to do my own Kratt character...me! Hope you like it.

Mis-understanding!

2011-03-28T01:42:00.000-07:00

Damn you Robin! Always showing up at the wrong time. I just had this thought in my head and had to create it, so here it is.

Batgirl Cannot be Trusted!

2011-03-26T02:05:00.000-07:00

Don't get Batgirl mad! This is my rendition of an old art piece by Garrett on DeviantArt.
I started laughing when I saw it, so I wanted to put my art twist on it. In the style of Bruce Timm of course! I think that Batgirl is jealous of Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. Sucks to be you Batman!

New Portfolio

2011-02-23T20:15:00.002-08:00

Hey guys, I will be working on a completely new portfolio, so look for my new stuff here soon.

Self Portrait...again.

2010-11-03T23:19:00.000-07:00

Yeah...another self portrait. Working on painting. Anyone know of any good tutorials? Did this in Painter and Photoshop.

Back from London.

2010-10-21T07:08:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, I am back from my month + excursion to London. Which means that I will be working on some new artwork. If you have any suggestions/advice of things you would like to see me create, please comment here. Thank you!

New Art

2010-08-06T07:20:00.001-07:00

Hey everybody, since Comic-Con is over I will be working on my own stuff for awhile. I have a couple projects in the works, so expect to see new art on here soon. Thanks for all your support.

Geisha

2010-04-17T19:21:00.000-07:00

Working on more painterly type art. Feedback Please.

Emulation - Atsushi Okubo

2010-04-02T22:11:00.000-07:00

Done in the style of Atsushi Okubo. The artist of Soul Eater.

RADIOHEAD - Flat Color

2010-03-14T03:08:00.001-07:00

Who knew that the members of Radiohead actually had radios for heads? And they have coffee breaks when they are not making music.

All of the radios are modeled after real life radios, so next time you see a radio, remember that it has a face. Also, their clothing matches their radios. Such as, the circle on the shirt, the radio has circle speakers. The old fashioned radio has a tie that is the same shape as the speaker holes, etc...

Trying out doing only flat shapes and color, NO OUTLINES. It was tough.

The Anime Me

2010-03-13T13:10:00.000-08:00

My old laptop finally crapped out on me so I have spent the past few days re-installing everything on my desktop. I had to create all my brushes again, that was a pain. So here is my latest artwork, oh anime, why must you be my muse?

Balloon Monster and Girl

2009-12-09T00:16:00.001-08:00

A big harry monster is handing out free smiley face balloons.

Emulation-Stephen Silver

2009-10-18T19:18:00.001-07:00

Again, my character below, but this time in the style of Stephen Silver/Danny Phantom on Nickelodeon.

Emulation-Bruce Timm

2009-10-18T18:13:00.001-07:00

Just experimenting with different styles right now. This character is seen below, but it is in the style of the Cartoon Series Batman or Batman Beyond. Bruce Timm was the main Character Designer on those shows...I think. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Vampire Princess and the Bat

2009-09-25T22:01:00.000-07:00

After watching a preview for Disney's Princess and the Frog I decided to design a princess. Also, it is getting close to Halloween and then I saw this cool dress at the DI. All that combined together to create....The Vampire Princess. It was sketched out then watercolored.

New Art

2009-09-25T20:36:00.000-07:00

Just some new art I am working on.

Makeup #3 Projects

2009-08-14T14:56:00.001-07:00

Thundercat: no particular character, just a rendition of a Thundercat. Designed, styled hair, applied prosthetic nose and ears, painted, and added spotted detail.
Vampire: After watching many episodes of Moonlight, a show that should not have been cancelled, I decided to create a Vampire. Designed, styled hair, applied prosthetic ears, painted, created teeth, provided costume. Model provided jewelry from Lia Sophia.

Hobbit: She looks a bit like Pippin. Designed, styled hair, applied prosthtic ears, painted, provided costume and LOTR leaf brooch and Ring.

Makeup 3 class was alot of fun. I learned alot and my sister Melissa Milius was kind enough to be my victim.

Makeup #3 Process and Prosthetics

2009-08-14T14:43:00.000-07:00

The process of making the ear molds was fairly difficult, I had to create a complex mold. I sculpted with some oil based clay and wooden tools, then I created the negative mold. The prosthetic itself was made out of gelatin and powdered with neutral base. The ears were then applied with spirit gum.

The prosthetic nose was sculpted with oil based clay, then a negative mold was cast. Then I made the prosthetic with gelatin. It was applied to the model's face with spirit gum and the edges were blended to the face with Witch Hazel.

The teeth were cast just like they do at the doctors office. I then sculpted the teeth with oil based clay, then used teeth resin to created these chompers. I used a motorized shaping tool to smooth the edges. I then painted them with acrylics and clear coated them with finger nail polish.

Makeup #2

2009-08-14T14:41:00.000-07:00

Projects from Makeup 2 Class.
We made casts of our faces and then had to create a creature. I sculpted a demon. The prosthetic itself didn't turn out that great because of bad instructions from (someone that shall remain nameless) on how to properly prep the molds for the foam latex.

Makeup #1

2009-08-14T14:38:00.001-07:00

Venetian Mask
Kabuki Mask These are some Makeup projects from my first Makeup Class. More info to come...

Comic Book Cover: The Discipliner

2009-05-18T17:31:00.000-07:00

This was a freelance job I did for a film group participating in the 48 Hour Film Project. It was done fairly quickly so there are some things on it that I would go back and change, but for now, here it is. I am still not sure if they used the cover. It is suppose to be a spoof on The Punisher. Instead he is The Discipliner. The film was made by Cameron Daley and John Maxim.

Art Portfolio: 2009 ...More to come...

A Special Thanks!

2008-07-07T18:08:00.000-07:00

I believe that certain people come into your life for a reason. I just wanted to thank Brant Moon, Jake Wyatt and Anthony Holden for being great friends and for always having such great attitudes and positive outlooks on life. Also, I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to use different art techniques and different mediums. You guys are all so very talented and truely are the Masters of Mediums. You've really helped me "draw outside the lines" if you will.
Thanks alot you guys!!!

Self-portrait

2007-10-18T21:18:00.000-07:00

I had a little free time after makeup class today, so I drew a quick sketch. I did a quick color job on it at home. Photoshop.

Japanese Girl

2007-03-14T02:58:00.000-07:00

This was an assignment for Don Seegmiller's Class. Learning how to use Painter. There are still a few things on this that I need to fix. For her outfit I wanted to do something a little different, it is not the traditional kimono, but a mix of a kimono and hakama pants. I wanted to work on doing better line work and trying to use image overlays. I made it high contrast because I wanted it to look like some of my favorite manga artists work. I did some other versions of this, they can be viewed on my deviantart account. http://trinity88.deviantart.com

Anime Fanart

2006-12-06T19:22:00.000-08:00

Werewolf

2006-12-06T18:03:00.000-08:00

Industrial Pirate Heroine

2006-12-06T18:01:00.000-08:00

Heroine/Hero Assignment. I need to fix the coloring and the linework. And her legs are a bit misproportioned.

Pirate Hero

2006-12-06T17:55:00.000-08:00

Hero assignment. I was watching a lot of anime...yeah...anyways... I did a pirate and I need to fix a lot of stuff on it, like the coloring and the line work.

Anime Girl

2006-12-06T17:48:00.000-08:00

This was done in Photoshop and Painter. Kind of an anime/american style.

Cow Concept

2006-12-06T17:32:00.000-08:00

This was some character concept for Pajama Gladiator. Cow.

Crow
