At long last I am able to show some progress on this project that I am proud of. a friend of mine commissioned this suit of armor from me and he has been very patient while my life has taken some unexpected turns. it has been a ton of fun to research and experiment, but after starting and stopping and starting over and stopping and starting over again, I think I am finally headed in the right direction. I can't wait to get some more of this thing done because it is really starting to look cool. 

Here are the run cycles I did for the mobile game "The Tiger Chase". It was a fun little project to work on and I had a blast working with my friend Adam Harris. Below are links to download for both Google play and the Apple App Store.

This was just messing around in Adobe Illustrator. I had a lot of fun taking myself and making a 2D representation of myself. it was fun to just experiment with shapes and color. 

Below are a few selections from the "viking" series of weapons I did. These were a lot of fun to do!

This was part of the "viking" inspired series of prop weapons that I did. The ax head is made from craft foam and the handle is a dowel I had lying around. I used some stain and a little bit of leather and I made a pretty scary looking prop. Below is detail of the wood-burning design I did on the handle. 

This is one of the first prop projects I completed. It was a great learning experience for me and I was able to learn a lot. This Blaster was originally made for fun but it was used as a prop in a short student film!
