A new style...

Concept Design Academy!

Well..I've started taking classes over at the Concept Design Academy.. I'm currently enrolled in the Creature Design course and am very much enjoying being back in a creative atmosphere with likeminded illustrators.. plus, the other students are very talented and inspirational and the teacher is quite awe-inspiring..

I figured I'd keep my blog updated with the sketches and projects produced in the course .. the first projects are based around the re-imaginings  of The Thing, Pumpkinhead and American Werewolf, below are a couple preliminary sketches ..
