Gears of War 3: Contest: Behind The Scenes
So I checked the website Deviant Art and the finalists were announced. I didn't make the finals, but I thought I would keep my promise and share the in progress work of the entry.
Below are the sketches being stitched together and the composition being roughed out. I then hand drew the background and comped that together as well. I then played around with color schemes.
Ive had a Deviant Art page for about 6 years. To be honest, I don't know why I even still keep it other than to see the art work of the professional comic book artists that are on there or the occasional photo reference here and there.. It serves no networking or professional purpose. Its just a bunch of teenagers posting bad anime and furry drawings and its really weird.

Random Idea: D.C Characters in the X-Men
Blasphemer! I had an idea the other day. What if some of the D.C characters crossed over to the marvel side and worked on the x-men, or were given a marvel background. I have a few ideas flowing but the one I drew was Wonder Woman. I redesigned her costume. I also thought her Tiara and gauntlets could be made of adamantium, because the old ones were destroyed...or something.
Her lasso of truth could be something like a pyschic lasso. Like how Psylocke had a psychic knife. In the D.C comics the lasso was said to be telepathically connected and when she threw it, it would go where she wanted. and it was unbreakable. I also thought since she has her invisible jet in the D.C comics, that she could drive the X-jet. It was fun thinking of this idea, I might do more characters.
Edit: Someone asked "Why not the X-men on the justice league?". Why? Because I like Marvel and X-men more, and also wouldn't the x-men just lose the X and keep their costume?
Edit #2: I redrew my design after it was pointed out to me that the original was drawn 61/2- 7 heads tall. Not super hero proportion. and since well, Wonder woman is a superhero and a amazon, it makes sense she would be 8 heads tall. So without further ado.

Gears of War 3: Computer Wallpaper Contest
I recently found out about a contest going on with Microsoft/ Epic Games and Deviant Art last week. The premise is to create a "soul-shattering" image of the Gears of War franchise in computer wallpaper format. I found out about this contest late in the game, So I immediately went to my sketchbook and started working things out. Below is the final piece worked by pencil a scanner and lots of Photoshop. When the winners are chosen on October 4th, i will release more of how I created this image.
You can view my entry HERE, as well as the other great works that other artists have come up with!

The P.I.N.C.H Foundation New Logo
I'm back from California and I found out that the logos Ive been working on for "The P.I.N.C.H Foundation" have been used in various media. I worked with executive director Frank Sullivan on a quick deadline to get a few things created.
Here is the sheet layout used for the new logo and side emblem for a T-shirt created for The PINCH Foundation fund raiser. The P.I.N.C.H foundation stands for People In Neighborhoods Can Help, and Mr. Sullivan wanted that to come across in the new logo, so we worked together on creating that. I also designed a memorial emblem for Francis C. McInerney the 4th, who died a few months ago.
These logos I created were printed on various media. A shirt was created for the Fund raiser On the shirt were my two logos( The PINCH Foundation logo on the front,Memorial Emblem on shirt sleeve), as well as The Cooperative Banks logo on the alternate sleeve and a slogan for the PINCH Foundation on the back.
The Shirt
A Banner at the opening.
The Logo I made was also printed on Business cards and various other media. The logo I created will become the new official logo for the company.
