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!
