Attention people of Earth!

We ( )have been taunting you with images of a round robot for a couple weeks now.  We will drag out this process no longer!

Today, Mike and I are proud to announce Big Menace Industries!  "What the hell is that?!" you ask?  It's our new concept studio that we have been operating as for a few months now and are making known to the public.  Mike and I have known each other for 17 years and have always wanted to work together.  Now, we are making that happen in a big bad way!

Head to BIGMENACEINDUSTRIES.COM and take a look around.  If you are in need of our services, feel free to shoot us an email, but be warned:  We shoot back!  Muwahahaha!

I've been M.I.A. for the past couple of days due to a trip to Seattle (which was awesome...) and my modem died (which was not so awesome...)

Hey hey!

As some of you may know, the game I've been working on for the past couple o'months was just launched...Which means I now have some additional time to crank out some commissions! If you are interested, check out the guidelines and rates listed below (Right by my deviant ID) I'm not sure how long I will have this extra time, so this may not be up for long...

Regardless, more posts are on the way!

ryan!

Hey hey!

As I mentioned in my last journal entry, the game we have been working on was just released... Which now means I can start posting a bunch of concepts I've been working on for the past couple of months!

There are a ton, so I plan on prepping and posting 'em pretty much once a day.

There are some bad-ass artists that worked on this project. Just a couple DA profiles I know off the bat include:

  

You can check out our game for free at this [link]

Thanks for stopping by!

Heya Guys!

So as I mentioned before, I've been working on a ton of concepts and interface items for "Sacred Seasons 2"...and I am excited to announce that the public beta has gone live! A couple things are still being tuned, but you can check it out on Kongregate's site at this [link] .

With the game being released, I plan to post a buncha drawings I put together as I gain  permission to do so. Until then, here's a splash I drew up, which was recently posted on the Sacred Seasons' twitter account.

Hey hey!

has some additional information about it on his DA page. Hope to see you there!

Hey hey!
So what the hell have I been doing for the past couple months...? WELL- the game I've been working on was just announced!(Along with a sneak peak at a splash screen I drew up --just the linework)

Looking like it will be out sometime this month...
Check it out!: [link]

Hopefully I can share some concept drawings once it's out...

ryan!

Phew! I made it- haha   The last couple of weeks have been crazy hectic, but I'm finally settled into my new apartment in SF. Now to get back to drawing!

ryan!

Oi- Apparently moving across the country isn't easy haha.

I'm in the middle of moving from NC to CA while keeping my work schedule... So I won't be on here for another week or so. I can't wait to get settled in and start cranking out more pieces!

ryan!

Heya guys!

So my buddy submitted a bad-ass design to "Patch Together" and I just put a pre-order in for it...

Only thing is, he needs 3 more pre-orders to get this thing in production...SO- if you are interested in helping / checking it out, here's the link!: [link]

Mike was telling me that this place is brand new and has some great food.

I also have a couple sketches from my trip I will be posting this weekend

Hiya!

I've never been a morning person- so I'm in the middle of pulling an all-nighter to jump on a butt-crack-of-dawn flight to San Francisco- I'm pretty stoked about this trip because I'll be hanging out in the Bay Area with my brother and a couple of friends including for ....uh...a month? All I know is that I bought a one way ticket and have a pimped out garage to hang out in - haha   

Anyway, Zat and I will be planning some Bay Area sketch jams...soon...

Back to packing!

ryan!

Heya!

So yeah I have been crazy absent from DA- but thankfully due to some cool recent events.

As of last month, I have been transitioning into a new full-time concept artist gig for a new game SO- during my last job's two weeks notice, I have been burning the weekend and midnight oil trying to get everything in line.

With that being said, I am starting to get used to my new schedule and plan to work in some new work soon!


ryan!

Hey hey!

Just got back from hangin' in Chicago for nearly a week to attend my cousin's wedding- good times! While having a blast sitting on the plane and in the airport for hours, I put together a couple sketches. I thought a couple of them would be fun to experiment with in Photoshop.

More on the way!

ryan!

It's been a while since I have posted a full-on drawing. (all done in Sketchbook Pro...)This one doesn't really have a story behind it- just a random idea floating around in my head I hope you guys dig!
