For some reason when I think of the word “jabberwocky”, I think of kids taking the wocky out for a stroll. Of course they wouldn’t be able to do it without the magic hat. We all need magic hats, I reckon.

A video game studio asked me to come up with concepts for a tower defense game. This is one of 3 concepts I came up with, “Zombie Farm”. Basically the game took place in a post-abarnalyptic future and involved the defense of Farmer Dell’s homestead and all its stored food with weapons fashioned from farm tools.

I developed five zombie animal classes that had become infected and five defense tower objects with their own range, variables, etc. The thing that I wanted to introduce as a new gameplay mechanics was the alternation of attack paths from them (zombies) eating barriers blocking paths, and different combinations of spawn points/patterns in levels.
Believe it or not this was before Plants VS Zombies came out, so it was cool to see a studio take the zombie tower defense concept and delivered it in an exciting way. That and the folks that work there are some nice people to begin with!

Maybe one day I’ll get old enough to need a cane like this.
If I do I think I will make sure the cane is fancy and has a parrot head on it.
No reason really, besides that I think it would look pretty awesome.
And I could talk to it.

I did a sketch of this earlier and figured I’d post the colored version.
It’s based on old bomber girl art from WW II.

Punker girl profile. It was a design I did for work.
I got some ideas for the character from pictures of Amy Winehouse.

A bunch of tractors. There were a lot of strange tractors manufactured back in the day. Some of the sketches are actual designs, others are a combination of a few, but all are based off of real tractors. Yup, even that one on stilts.

Discovery Channel and National Geographic are neat. I like to see the specials on different cultures that showcase where they live. Here’s some ideas from projects that were the result of that curiosity.

Learned a lot working on this one. I’ve done some sci-fi themed work before, never with more humanoid characters. I tried a different approach where I isolated local colors out before building lights and darks.

Turnaround drawing and a 3d prototype from a toy project a while back. The modeling for the character was done in Maya by the talented Joe Brogno. It was then cut in a 3d printer. The prototype was handpainted by myself using Cartooncolour vinyl cel paint. I had this whole mythology, numerical, alchemical, cultural, and prehistory written up. The bird is one of many, and was part of the story of the alchemists having all these lab birds which were used for experiments. Maybe one day I’ll post some of the other work I did for it.

Colors will be added in the next few days. They are explorers from Xarthean, ready to probe the moons of Jupiter. I’m going to make some adjustments to the droid’s angle, and other things that I think can be refined in the final image. I’ll be using a red palette with this one.
