I'm a Cthulhu kid!

I did this one a couple months ago, and I just forgot to post it up here. I did it as a father's day gift to my dad, since he's the one who started me on my love for the horror genre all those years ago... Sitting around watching old Vincent Price movies, and laughing about the ridiculous special effects. Those were the days... Anyway, this actually started off as a very simple sketch in one of my sketchbooks about a year ago, but when I found it, I knew I had to finish it. I also ended up using it as one of my bookmark business card designs. It took about 2 days to complete, using Sketchbook Pro and finishing up in Photoshop.

Steam academies... IN SPACE!!!

Actually, these are two completely unrelated (imagine that) pieces I've done over the last 48 hours. The "SPACEMAN Nebula" as I like to call him was for a project for the Digital Artist's Guild of Milwaukee. We are having monthly (?) projects that everyone posts to, and this was my submission for the "SPACEMAN" subject. Anyway, you can check us out here: digitalartistsguildmilw.blogspot.com

The second piece I like to call "Steam Academy", and it is for an undisclosed school project (stay tuned!). It was a 4 hour speedpaint with the purpose of establishing mood for our chosen theme. It's still a bit rough, and I could definitely spend A LOT more time polishing it, but it was meant to be quick, so I decided to leave it as is.
