In this week's video, we go beneath the surface to talk about what makes a strong artist's portfolio. Finding tough answers to what to include in a portfolio versus what to leave out. We will discuss what are the key things people will look for in a professional presentation.

Here's a little interview I did with Marcello Milteer from JAPAN CINEMA.

BMW Z4 M Concept

A fresh design for my dream car. 

BMW never came out with a coupe version of the E89 Z4. They also decided not to make a full M version of the Z4, nor do they have a production Super car as of yet.

That doesn't sit well with me, so I'm gonna make my own. In my dreams.

This is one of the first things I did on the show, a redesign of the Police Charger that's going to be featured in the show. It was a 2013 model Dodge Charger, make to fit into the Defiance world.

Dig Site 2

A finishing of my earlier speedpainting.

I'm glad i took the challenge, and pushed a lot further with this piece. it was a rewarding process to go back and re-analyze everything in the old piece, then recompose the scene with already established mood and setting.

About Me
My Photo
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I’m a freelance artist based in Toronto, Canada. My inspirations come from a wide range of games that I grew up with; I was always fascinated by the depth of visual designs in many of these games. I invest my free time on practicing concept art and matte paintings, studying from the master artists like Dylan Cole, Barontieri, Jaime Jones and many other amazing artists in the industry. I’m now working professionally on a variety of projects from different game developments and feature film productions.
