Mecha design contest on deviantART!

Hi Everyone, sorry there hasn't been much news to post lately, It was getting pretty boring around here so I decided to host a competition over at deviantART.com where I have a mecha gallery.

The idea of this contest is to take rejected concept artwork from Microsoft’s MechWarrior 4 games, which were drawn by me, and mix them into new and cool mecha
.

Sound like fun? You bet it does! Please visit my DA account for all the information and rules. The contest is active now and ends at midnight, Nov 29th.

Link to my deviantART account...


And here is a sample image I made to help everyone understand what the contest is all about...
This took me about 45 minutes to make using Photoshop.

- The thighs and hip parts were drawn from scratch
- The chest is one of the hunchback torsos turned upside down
- The legs are from a couple of Arctic wolf legs mashed together with a Zeus toe on the end
- lots of other parts were used too... stuff from the Highlander, Zeus, and Gladiator.

Mecha Specs...
Name: Sanguinox
Tonnage: 60
Weapons: Lots and really powerful too!

Doing some house cleaning

You may notice that I went through and removed a bunch of old images. I'm trying to get rid of some of the old stuff so the newer, better art is what is seen. Sorry if you wanted to see something I removed but it is gone for good.

LEGO Power Miners Comic #3

This comic, the third in the series, printed in the July issue of LEGO Club Magazine.I also want to take a second to thank www.BZPower.com for the link they gave me about a week ago. I only get about 225-250 hits a day here on my blog. You can see the spike I got from their link by looking at the chart below...

LEGO Agents Tech Spread

I just got my new issue of LEGO Club Magazine in the mail and it featured 7 pages of my comics! Here's the original art for the LEGO Agents spread. LEGO changed the background by adding scan lines and ghosting it a bit. I think their changes work well with all the call-outs and caption boxes.

Bionicle Comic For LEGO UK Magazine

This is a comic I made way back in January/February for the UK version of LEGO Club Magazine.

*Image removed by me. Gotta keep the LEGO images down to 3 at a time per LEGO's request.

I have had a request to show a sample of the upcoming Challenge of Mata Nui book but I don't know if I am allowed to show that yet. I'll ask my guys at Scholastic and see what they have to say. This magazine comic should satisfy you until then. The new book has a slightly different feel because of how I did the colors to synchronize with the new CG movie.

Speaking of the movie. I got to see about 10 minutes of it the last time I was at LEGO and all I can say is WOW! I saw the very first Bionicle movie and it was just so-so but this new Mata Nui movie is really incredible. I can't wait to see the whole thing on Blue Ray!!!!!!
