Kevin K. Griffith tribute piece

Here's a preview of a piece I did for my buddy and long time co-worker from Blizzard  - Kevin K. Griffith.
 Kevin struggled for the last years of his life with a rare form of cancer and this piece was a contribution to a tribute book for him.  Kevin was an awesome artist, a great friend and a super happy person who influenced many for the better.  He was a mad gamer and spread his enthusiasm for gaming wherever he went.  I remember him constantly having his ipad with whatever was latest and showing everyone.  

Check out the site and donate to the indie-gogo if you can! The proceeds go to fight cancer and support great charities:

This piece is my interpretation of one of Kevin's favorite games Altered Beast!

Out!

Well, it looks like I have lost ten bucks, but not my pride. GDC recruiting this year was awesome and exhaustive.  I missed a post on the night of our recruiting party! I'm going to just keep posting for the month anyway!

For Riot sketch group tonight, the subject  was rhino, carpet, flower.  I think. I joined in from home:

Double up day

I guess this drawing thing is getting to me. Had to take a break and sketch - this is what happens when there is a romantic comedy on nearby:

Old Smokey

This is a work in progress. His name comes from that song about a meatball... I'm not sure what inspired me to paint him, but I have to take a break from him to work on some freelance stuff. I'll post the final once I get some personal time again.

Frog Guard

I am finally sketching again. I guess I have settled in enough to draw strange little frogs. I didn't have a reason to draw this guy - he just kind of came out.
