The sushi chefs together!

Okay, so my visual development project this semester is called Oni Roll and it centers around three sushi chefs in medieval Japan who are, of course, much more than their appearance would suggest. I was going to show these guys one at a time, but I put them together in a quick line up and figured I would just show them that way. Anyway, more characters form Oni Roll to come, but here are (from left) Mac, Tong and Bolo!

The first of the sushi chefs!

I suppose this will serve as an intro to my spring semester illustration project. It involves a mepdieval sushi shop...

Ol' Red Hands

I wanted to try my hand at a painting with a little more "realism" to the style and details so I made this over the weekend. Ol' Red Hands is a character I've had in my head for a long time. I envision him as a sort of shaman/warrior in the Appalachian Mountains with the ability to shape shift into a wolf. He would cause havoc for early settlers and what not.

A Couple Quick Paintings

Happy New Year, everyone! Here are a couple quick paintings I did today and thought I'd share... any Goro Fujita fans might recognize a lot of his influence in the one with the dude standing in the field!
