Custom illustration I created for a website splash page and fantasy game. I was asked to draw the game’s heroes, who are infected with a mutating virus, along with their sidekicks: a zombie jaguar and a zombie bear. The client and I invisioned a world where not even the plant-life has escaped being mutated by the zombie virus.
I created this in Manga Studio and Adobe Photoshop.
This is a fun illustration I created of a tiki man riding a dirtbike for the brand Accidental Broadcast. The brand centers around a popular Youtube personality, Kalani Prince, who films the island of Hawaii from the back of his dirtbike.
Kalani gave me a lot of freedom with the design. Since this was the brand’s first design, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce his personality as this Tiki character, with an attractive hula girl hanging tight.
I also designed the a logo to match the design for his brand.
I was hired to illustrate and design this new line of eJuice vaping flavors for Valgous. The client approached me with the idea of having each flavor represented by six different chess pieces. I thought it would be cool to illustrate the labels as if the characters were from a dark, fantasy kingdom.
In addition, I also designed the logo for the series, Valgous: Slayer, and even designed the point-of-purchase display. The series will be distributed and sold to vaping outlets around the country.
We are also planning a line of t-shirts featuring the characters to help promote the new line.
I was recently hired to design a new T-Shirt for the Yellow Stripe Records brand in Portugal. After working with a couple of concepts, we decided on the idea of having a Superhero has gone mad, and destroyed the city he once he protected. Deep! He’s crouched on a pile of wrecked keyboards, speakers, and dj equipment.
This t-shirt was set up for silk-screening, using three colors.
I was hired to illustrate this T-Shirt design for one of my favorite clients, Darkhorse Fightwear, for their new line of MMA apparel. The design was set up for silk-screen using three colors, and illustrated in Manga Studio and Adobe Photoshop. The design was inspired by a previous illustration I created a few years ago – it was fun to revisit it and test out some new skills while illustrating it. The design features a skull in the center with wings and chains surrounding.
Digital painting of a zombie I was commissioned to create for the author Danny King as an avatar and branding identity for his sports blog. I really enjoy making things look creepy and funny at the same time – I tried to pump a lot of personality into the character. I seem to really like drawing people and zombies smoking cigars – not sure why that is. This zombie painting was created in Manga Studio 5, with color adjustments and effects handled in Adobe Photoshop.
I was hired to illustrate and design a series of characters and backgrounds for an e-commerce website. The characters were all cartoon “blockheads” that interact with the hand-drawn user-interface we designed for the website. It was a fun challenge to come up with interesting layouts that didn’t compete with the functionality of the website. This website is still under development – I’ll post the link soon.
Professional Illustrator Brian Allen reviews the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ (non-touch). I have been using the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ extensively since early April 2018 and I love it! I upgraded from the Wacom Cintiq 24HD, which I used for over 6 years. I had high expectations for this digital drawing tablet and […]
