Tommy "2 Teeth"

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 20:03:52 +0000

This image started out harmless enough. Just a random picture of an old man with 2 teeth but after a long day at work I decided to take my frustration out on him. Sorry pal!

Mickey's Mutilation

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 19:54:01 +0000

My mom contacted me awhile back looking for a new desktop image but with a twist. She wanted to play a practical joke on her boss who happens to be a huge Mickey Mouse fan. Needless to say, she asked me to use my imagination and draw a gruesome looking Mickey. So I put my thinking cap on, found some reference images and threw together a quick sketch for moms to see. She loved it.

At first I was just going to throw some blood on the sketch and make that the final image but after playing around with some colors I decided to finish it. After I sent mom the finished file she went and put it on her bosses computer which was then followed up by a nice email to me from her boss saying �Thanks, but could I get something with a little less blood!�

So, no harm done. Except to Mickey that is. - S

"Hate Chimp" tribute

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 19:50:48 +0000

Awhile back my boy JOel, a.k.a. �MechaHateChimp�, was telling me how pissed off he was and while he was spewing out all of his verbal obscenities (that were cracking me up) I started to sketch. He was so mad that all I could see in my head was this image of an irate chimp going off. So, I started to put pen to paper and by the end of the conversation this is what was left on the page. So, here�s to �J�, the meanest lil� primate I know! Cheers Bro! - S

The initial sketch took about 45 min and the quick & rough coloring job took another 45 min. - S

Scarecrow

Thu, 01 Nov 2007 17:42:22 +0000

Here�s a last minute illustration I did for Halloween. My thought behind this was to make him look as though he�s waiting in the lurch ready to pounce on the next unsuspecting victim. The hardest part about this piece was the corn. It was a pain, even with very little detail. Hope ya like - S

Slob Zombie

Thu, 18 Oct 2007 19:21:28 +0000

Tis the season for for horror! Feeling the halloween spirit I decided to sketch up a few Zombie head shots and this is the piece that I started coloring first. Even though it's not a dynamic pose I thought it fit for the scene i had in mind. Hand sketched and then painted in Photoshop. Enjoy - S

"SPARTA"

Thu, 24 May 2007 23:29:54 +0000

Here is an illustration that I did in tribute to the movie "300". Wanting to keep with the movies grungy visual effects I incorporated quite a few splatter patterns. This helped set the mood of... BLOODY CARNAGE! A reference image was used for the initial rough sketch but, after the stance was developed I tried to capture the look of King Leonidas of "Sparta" from memory. To see the step-by-step progression of this illustration click here: http://shanesart.cgsociety.org/blog/.
I hope everyone enjoys it - S

Lord of the Underworld

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 18:20:41 +0000

I really enjoyed creating this piece. It was for the OFDW #21: "Angels & Devils". I wanted to keep the character as human looking as possible with the basic "Devil" features. Red skin, horns, tail, etc... The final version came out at 5023 x 6000 px. I hope you enjoy it - S

Angel

Mon, 18 Dec 2006 06:01:32 +0000

For some reason lately I've been putting wings on my subjects. I believe it gives them and kind of innocence. I wanted to mix vibrant colors and gritty textures in with the feel of smooth skin and silky hair.

Anyway, this piece was done for my brother, who I want to know... there is an angel on his shoulder watching over him. Here ya go, B!

Have a Naughty X-mas!

This image stems from my love for winter. I love the cold and believe that this image represents my passion for it. The image was done for my father, so here ya go pop. Completed in Photoshop.

More Please!

Mon, 18 Dec 2006 06:11:52 +0000

Honestly... I was at work and someone pissed me off, so to vent a little I decided to fix the problem by eliminating that person (in my mind that is). So after a short period of intense rage music and trying out some new techniques this is the image that evolved. Enjoy!

Sleazy Cheezy

Wed, 04 Oct 2006 06:41:26 +0000

With a shit-eatin' grin and "Camel" cigarette hangin' from his lips, this lil' fella is sure to be the coolest cat at the party.

I don't really know why I started this image. I don't even smoke. However, what started out as a simple joke soon became "Sleazy Cheezy". Sketched and colored in Photoshop.

Mon, 10 Apr 2006 23:11:22 +0000

For this piece I collaborated with my good friend Igor of Igorstshirts.com who was kind enough to let me borrow a train that he had modeled in LightWave 3D. Then being inspired by some of the graf-art by my house I came up with this illustration. Sketched then colored in Photoshop.
