#PortfolioDay? At this hour?

Alright alright, I'll bite - I've been pretty dang quiet on social media these days after all.

Hi, concept artist here, who has gone from designing IRL vehicle stuff, to sketching/modeling many guns and things for viddy game, and now...animal sculpting? Sure! Why not.
Sweet, thanks!!

Psst I've been meaning to ask, but what material did you get these printed in? I think I asked at the show, but forgot to write it down. Was very impressed with how tough those skeletons were!

The spectacularly produced new art book, Mesozoic Art II, hit the shelves! I happen to be one of the artists featured in the line-up of fantastic people who bring the dead back to life! A great opportunity to talk about my creative journey 🧵

Good evening, Eastern Eight Zone. Now I'm trying to design the head of the Welsh Red Dragon in my style. But I only referred to the image on the flag and was just having some fun. The research was not very thorough.

I had to figure out how the heck to paint these things within mere days of flying out for the con.... (master procrastinator + never used an airbrush or finished painting any minis before!) Turned out pretty okay I think

Aight gonna spam more of these lil Yi Qi guys, some silly phone pics for now.

See thread below for more! The woodland pics were taken at Dinocon, found this really cool little footpath that led from the uni through a park, towards downtown

(Also I think these can be called #paleoart yeah?)

Okay, time to hold out the hat 😂 #commissions are open!

Acknowledging The Times™ we currently live in, I've returned with a catalogue of new and old fave offerings, some as low as $35 USD (and even a $25 silly). Trying to really offer a range!

I can't really find any videos that summarize the huge range of evolutionary biology gold nuggets that were dropped in Matt Wedel's talk, but this one has some fun facts in it: youtu.be/WuMHfWSyoGI?...

Shoutout to certain dinocon ppl for getting me to appreciate (and perhaps become mildly obsessed with) sauropods. Like, what the hell. What cool, weirdass giant critters they were!

I think that whole adventure put me in a good enough mood to consider posting some stuff online again, outside of my personal site. (There's a fine line though, I'm VERY distractable and social media isn't the best for me there💀so we'll see. "Mildly active" at best)

(Yes if you saw someone wearing little homemade Yi Qi BJDs on their shoulders, that was me haha. I'll post more about 'em later! Learning how to make BJDs was on my to-do list this year) The sticker was also for fun, vs going with the usual business card thing. Was Yi themed all the way down hah!

MAN I don't even know where to start, #DinoconUK was already a week ago and I have so much built-up excitement and inspo from that trip!! Here are some of the little guys I brought with though:

figured I might as well post some occasional things again. I update my site on occasion, but I know most people will not go out of their way to check there (understandably so)
