Here are some Magic the gathering cards that I have done over the past year. I have done over twenty cards and a bunch of concept art for magic which I hope to be posting in the coming months when they are released by wizards. Most of the cards I have done have been lands. I have always concidered myself more of a charcter artist but the guys over at Wizards were able to pull the evironments out of me. All that trianing from Stephan Martiniere finally paid off!
Thanks for checking them out!

Here are the never before seen Mortal Kombat characters I designed for a Mortal Kombat pitch I made before I left Midway last year. The basis for the idea was a re imagining of the Mortal Kombat franchise from the original premise but mixing modern muti-player and dismemberment game design with the original fighting mechanic.
I also took the original character designs and upgraded them.
Scorpion as a wraith wearing the yellow blood of the demon that helped him resurrected to exact his revenge against his mortal enemy.
Raiden as a god who's feet rarely touch the ground.
Sonya, the daughter of a Texas Ranger who's sex appeal weakens her opponents while her Special Forces training kicks their asses.

The game idea isn't going to happen now that I no longer work there. I still would like to one day redesign all the rest of the original characters if I ever find the time.
