2011.03.31: Aptosid ImeraMy fifth release wallpaper for Aptosid. This is by far the most complex render I've accomplished. The entire art package for the release takes over 40 minutes to render.
2011.02.12: Aptosid GerasMy fourth release wallpaper for Aptosid. I experimented a bit more heavily here. I definitely think my Inkscape skills are improving ;)
2010.10.26: Aptosid ApateMy third release wallpaper for Aptosid. Again, I'm just as excited to see my work as the release wallpaper for Aptosid. I'm not sure I'll ever fully get used to seeing my work out there like this. It's really an indescribable feeling for me.
2010.09.06: Aptosid KeresMy second release wallpaper for sidux Aptosid (the project got renamed for reasons we don't need to go in to here). I'm just as excited to see my work presented world wide via the aptosid linux distribution this time around as I was the first time.
2010.08.14: Solmera Systems LayoutThe layout for Solmera Systems' web site. This is perhaps the most graphically intensive web design I've ever done, though I guess that makes sense, since my designs should increase in complexity with time ;)
2010.04.11: MiniDebConf 2010 PosterMany of the Debian Developers are not able to make it to DebConf10 in New York, so a MiniDebConf is being held at LinuxTag in Berlin. I made the poster for the event. I also did a t-shirt for it, but I'll just let you imagine this poster with sleeves instead of making a whole nother post about it.
2010.03.15: Zafenio LogoOne of the many joys of being on the sidux art team is people randomly dropping into our IRC channel and asking for stuff. This is the result of just such a request. Slam (a sidux Team Member) asked if I could redo the logo for zafenio, the full featured zikula forum module based on phpbb technology.
2010.02.15: Sidux HypnosMy first major work for sidux. I'm really excited to have my work be visible to hundreds of thousands of linux users world wide. I really can't describe just how awesome this feeling is!
2010.01.30: sidux-art shop @ Cafepress LogoThe sidux-art team was never happy with the old web shop, so we did a littl research and decided on Cafepress. I made the banner for the shop (along with a bunch of the designs for the merch).
2010.01.30: Sidux Convention T-Shirt ConceptsIt took about a week to churn them all out, but it was an enjoyable project, coming up with different concepts and variations on those concepts of the new t-shirt that will be sold at all convenctions attended by the sidux e.V.
2010.01.23: sidux SPI Logosidux is the GNU/Linux distribution I have been using for several years now. I fell in love immediately and am now a contributing member of the art team! This is the first original work I made for them, with hopefully many more to follow. [link]
2009.10.09: Wet HairMy second real attempt at inking an image in Inkscape. I used a smaller stroke width in the hopes of capturing more detail and enabled the pressure sentive control of stroke opacity for the same reason. Still not someting I'd want to frame and hang on the wall, but definitely a marked improvement over attempt number 1.
2009.09.09: On A PedestalMy first real run at inking an image in Inkscape. The image was choosen because I thought I looked cool, especially the way the hair was done on the statue. Also, the statue neglects some of the more difficult to render annatomy, i.e. hands and feet.
2009.08.21: Circles & Lines 2Another go at the basics. Really just more of the same.
2009.08.21: Circles & LinesI decided today (after much proding from a certain friend in Australia) that I'm going to use my graphics table for more than drawing my stick figure comic, though that certainly isn't going to stop any time soon. This is my first attempt at rendering an image in Inkscape.
2009.03.21: VTTKD Club Web Page Mock UpOne day, out of the blue, Mike decided that he was going to redo the design of the TKD page. Everyone liked the old one and most were wishy-washy on his rendering of a new site, so I did a mock up that did little more than modernize and overly graphicify the old design. In the event that he was serious about redoing the page, it wouldn't have taken much convincing to get him to use my design. In the event that he wasn't that serious about it (turns out he wasn't) the presence of my (vastly superior, if I do say so myself) design was enough to shut him up and leave the old site in place. Yay for Photoshop bullying!
2008.12.12: Fractal Racer Ship 2Ship 2 to match the aforeposted Ship 1. Obviously I didn't make it far enough in the project to name the ships. I'm still kind of sad about that, but there's little to be done about it now.
2008.12.05: Fractal Racer Ship 1This and Ship 2 were created for another independent study project I worked on during my 5th year of college. The game was a basic nock off of the Playstion launch title Wipeout. I thought a game with nothing but rigid body animation could be completed in a significantly shorter period of time than one which involved organic motion. I'm still convinced I was right, but that possibly shorter amount of time was still longer than I had to work on it.
2008.10.24: Tattoo DragonI really liked the overall shape of the tattoo concept I did, so, working in a very similar style, I came up with a three headed dragon guarded by a shield. Why a three headed dragon, you might ask. Well, that's an easy one: I've never really been overly comfortable with things that weren't semetrical, so a one headed dragon was out. Originally, the sketch only had two heads, but the amound of white space in the upper middle of the drawing (where the third head now resides) was too empty for me to be comfortable with it, so I added a third head. And, thank the gods for Photoshop. I never would have gotten that second wing drawn without it ... and by that, I do mean copy, paste, and flipped into place.
2008.10.06: Mayan TempleThis was done for an independent study project during my 5th year of college. I was trying to make an action/adventure RPG styled after a futuristic Mayan civilization. This is the second temple I attempted to model. The first isn't worth showing on this site, believe me.
2008.06.14: Havoc MenuThis is actually version 2 of the menu screen for Havoc, but I have long since lost the original :(. It is just a visually updated version of the same concept: a gateway to the infinte.
2008.03.12: Celtrenic Designs HeaderIf you've found your way to this site, you've probably been to my main home page and should recognize this banner. This is version 2 and no, I won't show you version 1.
2008.02.11: Glory HogsThis was done for a now defunct (though I don't know if that word actually applies, given that the company never actually got off the ground) company in Annapolis. They were trying to sell mopeds to teenagers and youger male adults, so they had me do up the company name in the style of grafitti. It was my first attempt at doing grafitti. It was actually a pretty fun challenge trying to work in a completely foreign style. It took a lot more visual references than usual for me to get a decent idea for each letter and then how to wrap them all into each other while still maintaining some level of readability. Check it out. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, despite it never getting used.
2007.10.26: Ark Linux Splash ScreenFor a very brief period in time, I was an art team of one for the Ark Linux distribution. None of my work ever got used because I didn't stick around long enough, but I did do a KDE splash screen in my short time there.
2007.08.07: Hunter's Meadows Page LayoutIn the summer of 2007, Chris Thorn and I actually managed to get serious about running a Web Development business. Hunter's Meadows was our first (actually paying!) customer. The name in the previous sentence isn't a link to the site because the business fell to litigation before we were able to finish building the site (but the let us keep the money. woot!).
2006.09.08: Firestorm Project Page BackgroundGiven that the project was entitled "The Firestorm Project", I felt that a phoenix would do quite well as the background for its pages.
