Creatures and Characters
Guardians
To experiment with human anatomy and anatomy manipulation, I created a sort of deer creature which watches over a dying forest. Their final design will likely be much different, but this was a fun test to layer anatomy and create a creature from the bones outward.
The guardians are all female (ish), and taller than the average human. Because there are only about twenty left in this fictional world, they have banded together in one social group, but their forest is slowly dying due to a fungus. (The fungus is probably related to [humans?] and their environmental destruction, but I'd like the final version to be more complicated than simple pollution). Their final design will probably be more alien, and they will almost certainly be clothed.
Reconstruction of DUFFY
DUFFY, a fossil whose rights belong to BHIGR, is the name given to a Tyrannosaurus rex specimen. The company asked me to do reconstructions for their 50th anniversary magazine, and I was honored to be able to give a face to this beautiful creature. I worked with Alex Ruger, with advice from Peter Larson and under the supervision of Sharon Weaver and Sam Farrar, in order to research what he would have looked like, culminating in an article published in a 50th anniversary magazine published the spring of 2024, edited by Kristin Donnan.
I've lowered the resolution of the images in order to protect copyright.
Test Characters
I created these characters to play around with having strong shapes and designs that would be scalable and visible from a distance. I imagine these guys as the protagonists of a single- or multiplayer fantasy platforming game where one can switch between characters in order to access different abilities and weaknesses.
I've included some pieces of concept art because concept art is fun!
