Overview
I start with thumbnail sketches to nail down the concept. When that is approved I move on with a finalized sketched that is then developed into the final painting. I work mostly digital and draw inspiration from the great illustrators and artists of the past, such as NC Wyeth and the Brandywine artists. My experience in concept art for games and film, helps me create thoughtful and believable characters and environments for the audience to get lost in. Let me help your project stand out.
