Brom Kah The Barbarian 

A piece I did as a commission for Garrett Adderley's character, Brom Kah. Pencils, inks and colour by me.

Some pre production artwork for the film. Had a great time storyboarding and conceptualizing ths flic. Enjoy!

Random Goodness #2 

A heavy handed barrel of unseen goodies fit for sharing! From my first MARVEL work, to painted sketches and full out digi-paints by yours truly. Enjoy!

Random Goodness!

These are a bunch of sketches I've been saving to post for a while. Lots of Marvel stuff to post since I got my first job with them this January('09).

[ Posted by johjames on Aug 6th, 2008 3:24 PM ]... Usually I just make my adjustments in The Shop and spot blacks as needed. Haven't touched a Micron or dip pen in a while! Thanks, man!

	[ Posted by Vig on Feb 14th, 2008 9:17 PM ]... I WISH MAN, I WISH! Working for Marvel would be a dream come true. Right now, practicing drawing on whatever time left between the daily grind of work.
