Amazing news - last week, we found out that an astounding 47 pieces created by our Illustration majors at Ringling College were accepted into this year's Society of Illustrators student competition!!! That is 22% percent of the total entries accepted! So proud of you all!! 🤯🤯🤯

I love designing characters that feel like they would fit well in a Souls game, but can’t make it through an hour of playing a Souls game without getting super-frustrated. Elden Ring included…
100% hand-made sketches from my sketchbook.
Delighted to hear @shutupshow.bsky.social reminisce about Amalur's "beautiful neon fantasy colors"! Always a pleasure to hear it fondly remembered.
If you liked it too, check out the now-funding board game featuring @seanandrewmurray.bsky.social, Amalur's lead concept artist!

More in this series. Having so much fun drawing these. I need to coin a new phrase - “bio-architectural” seems too long and unwieldy. Something like that - I’ll workshop it. 🤔
The campaign is still going strong but we need your support so we can grow the IP and make lots more Gateway games!!!

Butterflies!
I’ll see what I can do! 😁
Thank you! I’m thinking about doing some of these on big canvases - hopefully accentuating that scale even more!
Thanks!
Since just after graduating SU, near as I can figure - the first seeds of the idea at least. I haven’t decided how Gateway-adjacent these images are - may offer a window into some sort of dark future or past though…. For now just a visual exploration.
More weirdness.
Dark sketchlings from beyond The Gulf
Some new creepy things.
The Hill of a Thousand Spires from @brandonsanderson.com’s Mistborn novel. A Rare bit of “fan art” from a few years back. Excited to hear about the deal with Apple. Apple, I’m available for concept art work, lol! 😉🤷🏻♂️
Love it all!!
Navigating a behemoth through an unexpected u-turn on the streets of Gateway.
Books, movies, travel, history, museums, art, coffee…. All the usual places like anyone else - I think the key is to not be afraid to lean in to the weird stuff that people may not immediately recognize - I’m just having fun making toys for myself to play with. 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you! Perhaps surprisingly, my dreams tend to be fairly dull and pedestrian, like forgetting to pay my taxes or failing a surprise math test at the DMV. These drawings are actually my day-dreams… 😁
Thank you!
Oil change waiting room sketch time.
Thank you!
I’m afraid it is… 😬
Much appreciated!
Alvin Draft-matic - they are the best. It’s the only thing I use.

Positively Stygian nightmare fuel. Where am I? Who am I? WHEN am I?!? 😱
Thanks!!
