In the month leading up to Halloween, a clownish scarecrow, known as the Hyneama-Noosh, sets his sight on smashing pumpkins.

Here are the remainder of the character screens, a intro screen, a mock up of game play and a turnaround for Bayou Billy. This was a ton of fun, I especially enjoyed the character design aspect of the project. Always a good time creating characters. I plan on creating a project within my portfolio for this, so I can have it all in one place.
It’s hard to tell who is being reached with this blog, I’d love to hear from those that are. Let me know what you think.

Riffing off of my Samurai and Dragon illustration I posted a couple weeks ago, I decided to create a Native American themed piece. My grandfather was 1/2 blooded Cherokee indian, all of my life I have found the Native American culture to be such an interesting topic. I loved reading history that gave me more information about their cultures and their plight in general. As an illustrator I have always been drawn to the intricate detail of the clothing and ornate bead work of the Sioux. I loved their breast plates, their use of eagle feathers, the war paint, and just endless creativity of their tribes.
This piece is based off of the legend of the Thunderbird. A great supernatural bird of power and strength. Sioux stories tell that in “old times” the thunderbirds destroyed dangerous reptilian monsters called the Unktehila. (taken from wikipedia)
I imagine the Warrior and the Thunderbird to be jumping into battle to take on their terrible foe, the Unktehila.

Superheroes are still the funnest thing for me to create. I love #dccomicsand marvel comics heroes still to this day. Though I don’t purchase them as much as I used too, mostly because I got sick of the constant event publishing the two are into now. So instead of drawing yet another image of Superman saving the planet. I decided to use a character I created for my business universeK about 15 years ago. He’s nothing too fancy but I think he’s fun and is really geared toward the younger crowd.
Call this one “Save the world”
