Concept art
This is some of the concept work I have done. Concept Artist was my first job in the industry, but once I started modelling and texturing the characters I often volunteered my time as I love doing illustrations and thinking of ideas with a group of creatives like myself.
Many times I was allowed to take a creature from concept to animation. I am still updating this page as I dust off my old drives.
I use Krita (favorite), Adobe PS, Corel Painter, Clip Studio, Paint Tool Sai, and several more obscure digital painting software like Rebelle and the like. I used to buy digital painting programs like a person who collects Baseball Cards.

Some hairstyle early explorations
Exploring Body types for Alex
Exploring outfits for Alex
Early character exploration in True Colors
More townfolk explorations. Early sketches focus more on overall "feel" than precision.
Exploring one of the secondary characters early in pre-production
The Gnoll for EQII. Might be a bit of Billy Idol in there.
One of the concepts for the player choice Ratonga in EQII. It's possible the cheese was a bit much.
A quick sketch for the intro of a Neverwinter Online zone, the arrival of the boss.
I am playing with how AI might enhance rather that be the source. Just the top is AI, I invented the two below.
Another EQII monster.
This was for the scorpion creature in Star Trek Online.
The sea King was for Lost Continents, a now ether game and my first job in the industry.

Sure, this is 3D, but I designed and built these Ionians.
3D, but I designed and built this for Star Trek Online, Federation armor. Years later, I regret making the abdomen plates pointed. I think its more of a fantasy language element. It may also inhibit bending in real life.
For a personal project, a refridgerator magnet. It will have magnets in the hand and the top part.
Mermaids for a personal project.
The Iksar Female in EQII
A sketch for a STO scenario
A shuttle. These days I would likely use something like Fusion 360 or Zbrush Booleans to mock this up quickly and more accurately.
Some ideas for strange alien vessels

Some initial ideas for a horror mission in orbit of a disintegrating planet near a dying star.
