This was an early test of combining a 3d model with a photograph for reference. Instead of working from photographs only, I wanted to test my digital painting skills and my 3d modeling. Original figure reference is from an old Time Magazine photo of a soldier during WWII. Photoshop CS3, Intuos 4 + Google Sketchup
I love old steam train locomotives, always have. Since my story will feature a railroad tycoon, I decided to try and model a 3d train engine.

My digital sketch of American tycoon Henry Clay Frick. Character inspiration for the new painting series. Photoshop CS6.
Welcome to Autumn, my newest project, is a fictional story about a small town in Virginia, told through drawings and paintings. This 3d render of a fictional antique book is an illustrated history of the town starting back in the 1870′s.
