Smaug Concept

This was a concept for Smaug that I had put forward early on in the Design phase. I had been thinking along the lines of Smaug potentially having a boney structure on his head to smash and burrow through tunnels under the mountains he resides in. Thus you'd see many broken bits of his hardened face. I'm so glad they went for a more classic dragon design in the end, but it was fun to have a play!
These images can be found in the book "Smaug; Unleashing the Dragon."  They're very small images in the book so I thought I'd post them here so the detail can be seen.

Another Weta Blog piece I did a while back. For the funs.

Xenomorph

I had fun painting up a Xeno for a friend's tattoo :) The tail wraps around the shoulder and under the armpit- I can't wait to see it done!

Petroglyph's Grey Goo Design Work

This was a really cool project we worked on, I can't wait to see how the game turns out! This piece was a sculpt and paintover I did of a female Beta. I didn't do the awesome tattoo and costume design work, that was done by the fantastic Rebekah Tisch. So this was a collaborative piece :)
Here's the link to the article about this awesome game:
