Hi everyone! Been busy and neglected my art blog. I'll try to be more active here and keep it updated.

Last Summer I was hired at Turtle Rock Studios. I am very grateful to be working with such awesome and talented people. Everyday I learn something new, and everyone there is super helpful and knowledgeable.

Its a little hard to fit in the time to do personal work right now, but I was able to get a little painting of a dragon head over the weekend. It started as a traditional sketch and wanted to take it further. Hope you guys like it.
