Dinner Before Dishonor

I had the honor this week of contributing a piece of chalkboard art for Jeff and Liv's Apartment Therapy photo shoot. Takes me back to my Trader Joe's, blackboard-art days. Oh the memories. I like the composition, even if I think he looks a bit more like a seagull than an eagle. Oh well, it's chalk after all. And it gets bonus points for being really big.

Zombies on the Brains... brains... brains....

Some sketches from my notepad at work.

This last one is actually pretty disturbing. Believe me, I don't fantasize about blood impacts or people(zombies) getting shot in the head, it's just sometimes a grim part of my job as a vfx artist. This stuff is mostly observations of the motion and general look and feel from different references. Takes a strong stomach to make it through the day...

Old Sketchbook Artdump

I'm in the process of updating my professional/portfolio website (www.arthaak.com), which means that I'm pruning it way back and getting rid of most of the 'non-essential' art on there. So it's going to find a home on this blog, which is supposed to be updated more often w/ stuff of the 'concept art' and 'sketch' persuasion. Enjoy!

BPRD: Liz Sherman

My take on Liz Sherman of the Hellboy/BPRD universe. Quick speed-paint over pencils… rough… :P

Ice Prison: Krystaliss

Environment piece done for conceptart.org. Inescapable prison on an inhospitable ice-planet. Here's a larger version: make big!

Dark Knight

There's so much time spent at work waiting for assets to check-in and out (our P4 server needs to be upgraded). Here's a little sketch I did based on Frank Miller's Dark Knight (grizzly, old-man Batman). Sketch on sticky-note pad, gray scale wash in photoshop.
