Noggin Hopper

This was created for Creature of the Week 206 at ConceptArt.org. "A goblin's best friend"

Noggin Hoppers are small frog-like creatures that love to dwell on the warm bald heads of goblins. When groups of goblins are together, the Noggin Hoppers will often jump from one head to the next. Goblins prize these creatures because they provide much needed company (the forest can get rather lonely while gathering herbs), and they eat the pesky insects that are attracted by a goblin's foul odor.

Glow Jaw Creature Concept

This is a creature concept for Creature of the Week #205 on ConceptArt.org.


Glow Jaws are large insects that burrow into overhanging surfaces, such as fallen trees or mud caves. They have tentacle-like appendages that glow brightly. On the tentacles are scented lures that attract prey such as small rodents. Their legs are broad, shaped like flower petals found in the habitat, they can tightly enclose around prey. The legs are also great for burrowing, and can serve as a shield from predators. However, the Glow Jaw is very vulnerable when it is not in a burrow.

Dwarf Sculpt


I've had a lack of updates recently, but no lack of progress. I've been working a lot with traditional mediums and just need to get a good scanner. I also have several large illustrations in progress, but for now here is a Zbrush sculpt! At first I found the interface to be quite daunting, but thankfully I didn't need many buttons for this. I am in the process of learning more 3D with Maya, Zbrush, and Sketch-up.

Root World

This is an environment concept for a land covered in large roots and vegetation with little dirt or rock. Pools of water fill the irregularities between the roots, creating a thriving ecosystem.
