DREAM

 Another of my American Gods concept art TAFE project. This time depicting a dream sequence in which Shadow is confronted with the statues of long forgotten dead gods. I based the room on the framework of a boat, since that's how these gods would have been brought over to America.

Wacom tablet + PS. This was a quick(ish) one, hour or two i think. Though i still feel like i'm heaps slow with the tablet.

YGGDRASILL

Concept for the Worldtree from Norse Mythology, done as part of a series of concept artworks for the Neil Gaiman novel American Gods. This was taken from no scene in particular (can't recall whether or not the tree makes an appearance in the book), i think i just had this image in mind and started it as something to loosen up, but ended up taking it through to completion.

(Part of a school project to create a series of digital concept art images for an unadapted book, click here to see more).

ZORYA POLUNOCHNAYA

Concept for the rooftop scene between Shadow & Zorya from American Gods. This is probably my fav out of all the ones i did.  Few hours with a Wacom tablet.

LOW KEY LYESMITH

Part of a project i've just finished at TAFE. We had to pick a book and produce a series of Concept Art images for it using mainly digital means, wacom tablet PS etc. Also had to pick something that hadn't been adapted in a long time/ever so we weren't too influenced. I chose American Gods, as it's one of my favourite books. It's being adapted into a HBO series now, which'll be awesome! But haven't seen anything from it yet.

This is a character concept for Low Key Lyesmith. PS + Wacom tablet. Couple of hours. Had fun doing this one cause i didn't really plan it at all, just went for it.

I'm heaps excited for this series. The whole concept sounds really cool, and Azzarello & Risso can really do no wrong together.

Batman #3 by Greg Capullo

The cover for Batman #2 was in my list last month iirc, but Capullo has outdone himself with this one. So much energy, great composition and simple yet highly effective colour scheme! Really digging it.
