Little Eggs MkI™ ... In a Field of Flowers?

Painted for my wife, for our fifth wedding anniversary, I managed to make our little son look about four years older than he actually was at the time. If I could really see into the future THAT well, I'd have won a few lotteries by now.

Heat of Battle Web Site

Heat of Battle! A Mod for Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This is a banner I painted for the Heat of Battle web site. The final banner has a few more elements, including a title, of course, but here is the artwork in the raw. I tried to get the Marines' uniforms and weapons to be the same as in the game, with the exception of the middle Marine, whose helmet is a bit different (though regular U.S. Military issue).

Kobold Shaman

I believe this is 'bout the time I was playin' a lot of Bioware's Neverwinter Nights on my computer. You could upload your own portraits into the game for your characters, though I don't recall that Kobolds were a player character option. Actually, I'm sure they weren't. Regardless, here is a Kobold Shaman casting some kind of "Seeing-Eye" spell ... or something like that.

Urgoth: Underdark Warrior

We go back several years for this one. The Urgoth, a creature created for Bastion Press's Minions: Fearsome Foes, a Dungeons & Dragons companion book. The creature, created by a friend of mine and myself, made it into the book. My artwork, however, did not. No big deal, all that means is: copyright free! ;-)'

That's a drow's scimitar he's usin' as a dagger, a drow cloak for a loincloth and a drow skull for his "bling." Yeah, they're pretty tough, considerin' they look like a long lost cousin of Sid & Marty Kroft's Sigmund the Sea Monster. And, yes, that's an OLD reference. Considering he ended up lookin' like a giant chicken-man in the actual book, I think he'd prefer Sigmund.

Hulk Smash Small Rock!

Since it's still slightly topical, I'll start off with a sketch of the Incredible Hulk. Why draw in white, on a black background? Well, it looked cool at the time. :-)

Welcome to the '00s ... for me

Welcome to the Green Eggs and Art Blog. It's my first attempt at a blog, so bear with me. I've mainly set this up to toss out some of my artwork, mainly sketches, up on the web rather than use up space in the various forums I frequent. It won't be an "artwork a day" thing, but hopefully there will be a few pieces per month.

I've decided to keep this strictly featuring artwork and not make any comments on anything political, controversial, celebrity, etc. The internet needs more of those types of blogs like I need a hole in my head ... or another overused cliché. Well, what about blogs/web pages featuring artwork? Aren't there enough of those? Naw. I always enjoy lookin' at other people's stuff and perhaps you'll enjoy lookin' at mine. If not, hey, that's fine, also.

Anyway, if ya choose to comment on the artwork, please keep it clean, and remember, most of these will be sketches in various stages of completion, as opposed to finished artwork, so it ain't gonna be perfect.
