8/2/2010: Metroid: 25 Years of Awesome

HI INTERNET!
As promised.. here comes the first round of updates.









This is for Shinesparkers Harmony of a Hunter Album. It is an AMAZING Free download of 36 tracks. Available August 7th!

I made pretty much the most epic picture I've ever done for anything. Which is the second image. It's actually slowly been making it's rounds on the net. If you came here because of that.. Hi! Thanks for visiting.
The full resolution is pretty insane. And if you zoom in.. you can hunt for 25 hidden missles all around the image. And No, I am NOT kidding! :)

Continuing the epic-ness with that picture, I also recorded a dozen or so drawing videos showing it being made. I'll be releasing one new one each day. But you'll be able to find them all on that page as they add in.

More to come, soon!

8/8/2011: All about Metroid

It makes me really happy to see shinesparkers Harmony of a Hunter Album sort of blowing up around the net. I had no part in creating Metroid the franchise, but as I love it so much.. I'm glad to see the FANS picking up where Nintendo failed to celebrate.

I'm also incredibly honored to be a part of it. Seriously.

Odds are high that if you found my site, it's because of that. Hi!

I wanted to point out that we are looking to make a limited physical edition run of them. 2CDs, one 11x17 poster for only $12. You should jump over to shinesparkers and tell them you want it!

Related to that, I made a new Metroid Metal banner for their Queen track which is on that album. It's brutal and messy as hell, so I wanted the artwork to mimic that as much as possible. Hopefully you enjoy :)








There is also a drawing video of this. Watch that crazy queen come to life!
I took a glance at my site traffic yesterday and saw it had skyrocketed to about 10 times the amount I usually get, so thanks for the love, guys! Hit me up on facebook (which I often share stuff sooner than uploading here), and keep an eye out for new art. It's coming faster than you think!
