Dragon Quest VIII ~ Items

When Dragon Quest VIII came out on the PS2 I was blown away with how great the game really was and it wasn’t long before I decided that I wanted to bring that atmosphere and overall feeling to a forum based RPG. This came about at the end of the MSN Groups era and I decided that I wanted to make the most detailed RPG that I could make, something that would blow every other RPG out of the water. Although this project ended up stalling when MSN Groups was announced to be closing and I only ever finished eight full pages of content I to this day believe each of those pages, including this one, are among my very best ever. Hopefully one day I’ll manage to make my way back to Dragon Quest VIII and finish the project for everyone to enjoy.

BioPUNK

BioPUNK is an interesting piece of my portfolio for a few reasons. As of now it stands as one of the last serious art things I’ve done (meaning it’s been awhile since I’ve done anything) and because of the time in which it was made. When I started working on the render in 3D Studio Max I didn’t really know what I was going for, I didn’t have any direction that is. However, like much of my artwork at the time it skewed towards this organic style and coloration at which time I began the brushwork. Before I knew it I realized I was looking at a more organic representation of what my older Dream of Change wallpaper had originally set out to be, and a darker one as well. I still regard it as my best work, and my favorite.
