This one is not my favorite, but I love all those little brightly-coloured ads and such on his racing jumper. Cool helmet, too. Tell me how much you hate this drawing, or how much you hate the arbitrary inter-capping in “WipEout” over at my Livejournal.

WipEout HD was released for the Playstation 3 today. For those not in the know, it’s the latest and most high-definitionish version of a game franchise that’s been running since the original Playstation. It is a racing simulation sent from the future, faithfully reproducing the F5000 Anti-Gravity Racing League experience. Think F1, except without the tires, the wheels, the maddening slowness, and with the addition of a gigatonne of explosives.
This seems like as good a time as any to share some WipEout character concept art I’ve completed. Don’t look for them in the game, cause they’re not there. There are about eight more of them, which I’ll be posting every now and then over the course of the next few weeks. I’ll also try to explain why everyone should care more about WipEout, and what anyone in any creative discipline can learn from it. Stay tuned!
FUN FACT: If the enlarged image isn’t big enough because your browser window is too small, you can shift-click, middle-mouse-button-click, or CTRL-click, CMD-click or do some other click to open the image in its own window/tab/pane/box/channel/page/shelf/cupboard/glovebox.

Drawn for a friend. I will fess up to a bit of Scott Campbell influence/stealing, though I wouldn’t suggest it’s anything but a pale imitation. ALSO: RE: The top border: Whoops!
Whoops, time to replace that San Diego post. Very timely.
In addition to this site, I post to a Livejournal account. My thought was that I’d post drawings and some of my other work here, on this site, and keep the Livejournal for blowhardish inter-net ramblings. Lately I’ve been doing animation at Studio B during the days and freelance animation at home during the evenings, which leaves little time for drawings but lots of time to think about blowhardish ramblings. So the Livejournal has been updated relatively frequently lately. I also started Twitter-ing, primarily because it’s a fun exercise in trying to be amusing and/or relevant in only 144 characters. Follow along, if you like!
I also integrated the “Links” column to the right. Chock-full of great things to check out.
