Ujima Evolution
Not just new clothes, he’s been reworked from top to bottom, some things visible and some not. This is the working class hero I originally envisioned. I have seven heroes in the Kinara’s Children universe and Ujima is the one that gave me the most trouble. Now that I’m happy with his look I can move forward with the next projects for the group.

This is How I Do It
People frequently ask me how I make my artwork. It’s mostly 3D based, using a process I call Virtual Photography, 3D objects are arranged in space (vertical, horizontal and distance), colored, lit with virtual lighting and photographed with virtual cameras (what’s known as a render).

I’ll post them all here when Read More …

Ninja Pets: Ninja Cat vs Evil Dog
I was just mentioning recently how I had a backlog of ideas and concepts without enough time to put them together. So my 6 yr old decided to run one more at me. No it’s not a real book or comic or anything, I just thought I’d slap something together for her. I’m pleased to announce that when I showed it to her she gave me Read More …
