Boba Fett #2- Primal

The second of my Boba Fett series, one more to go!

Inktober- First Three

First three posts of Inktober, going to try to keep up!

Solar Warrior

Solar Warrior!  I did this as a practice piece for my Photoshop painting skills, and plan to continue other warriors of a celestial theme, next being the moon, the Lunar Warrior!

Aether Collector

A bit of digital practice and playing around with some lighting.  Might try to do a creature a week!

Boba Fett- Steampunk

First installment of a Boba Fett themed set of prints, each of a different armor style/theme! This one is steampunk, next will be Primal.  Keep a look out for more, and a new Boba Fett themed shirt soon too!

Game of Thrones- Winter Is Here!

Recently worked on a design for a Game of Thrones shirt, inspired by the White Walkers of the series that made a pretty big splash this last season.  Originally done with intent to be printed on a black t-shirt, I ended up making a white template as well for a new printer Shirt Samurai has access to.  Star Wars next!

Mech Suit

A bit of practice in pen and a some light work in Photoshop of a mech suit, drawn free hand.  A new shirt design will be out soon, and with a new 3D printing device available to Shirt Samurai we can print on more than just shirts!

Shirt Samurai and Beyond!

Recently I have been contacted through Instagram (@ianimagines) by a driven entrepreneur to help in building a new website and business in selling original t-shirts made by artists, called Shirt Samurai!  Below is the brand new logo and my first design, based off of the new movie Avengers: Age of Ultron!  If you want to pick up a copy, it's too late!  But other limited runs will be starting, and the site will be up and functional soon!  Check out shirtsamurai.com soon for some great art!

Returning to the Blog

Hello any and all readers, long time no post!  I have been working, traveling, and even doing some art, and it's about time I updated and committed to keeping this blog updated with everything I do.  I have been working on creature and character sketches and getting more into Photoshop as a medium for art, and have designs in the works for a personal comic I can host and update here!  I will also be updating my live model sketches every new class I go to, so check them out!

Star Wars: Rise of the Empire Concept Pieces

I have been working recently on the character development for the Empress in an upcoming Kickstarter campaign to create an original fan film set in the Star Wars universe.  As a Stars Wars fan would expect, the Empress is a symbol of absolute power and evil, and it was a lot of fun to design this character.  This is my work so far, my first completely digital commissioned project, and when the Kickstarter is live I will make sure to provide a link!

Autobiographical Self Portrait

My final submission for my last anatomy class this Spring, tasked with creating a life-size self portrait of ourselves.  Once again I tried for a Alphonse Mucha inspired shapes and design.  Colored pencil on butcher paper.

Rock Creature Concepts

A side project I lent a hand in was coming up with an idea for a new mascot, revolving around the idea of a "dirtbag" character, somewhat resembling a human and rock monster.  There were multiple artists, and work is still being done on the project, but these are some simple concepts for shapes/look of the creature, as well as some color schemes.  Hopefully this project continues, and they ask for more help.

Wheel of Time: Lan vs Demandred *Spoilers*

It's been a while since the last update, mainly because of this project and finishing up this last semester.  Going without saying, this is an excerpt from the book Wheel of Time, book 14.  If any readers don't want to know what will happen, don't look down.
