First image post.

So I finally got around to creating the first piece for my blog. This is a speed painting based on photo ref (from Characterdesign.com). It's a really great resource for doing any sort of work with the human figure (Includes draperies and nudes).

Welcome Aboard!

Hello and welcome aboard. I've always wanted to keep an updated blog of my work. And now I am. :)

Work has wrapped on Need For Speed for the year, and I have a couple of weeks to reflect, enjoy the holidays with family, and crank out some new artwork to fill up this portfolio.

For the last couple of years I've been so frenzied with working on Need For Speed that I've not managed to keep an up to date record of my work. This is going to change (My new years resolution if you will).

So it all begins here.

Cheers,

-mike

P.S. Here's a video of the car that I worked on for Shelby Automobiles. The Need For Speed Shelby Terlingua is available in both NFS:Undercover, as well as in real life! Check out the clip:
