Hand Painted Sci-Fi Blade

Here's the final product of my latest mini-project. 

Based off some original concept art I created, I spent a bit of time modelling & texturing this guy for some low poly hand-painted fun. (Click for high-res.)

Anyone that didn't pick it. Inspired by THIS GUY. >>http://ow.ly/cOXgU

Older work before newer work. Don't be impatient now.

Before I get to the fresh art, I figure I should get some of my slightly less recent stuff, just to show what I've been up to.

Hand painted material studies: These are some of my favourite things to do when I'm in one of those "What to paint?" moods.

 This was the sword & shield combo I hand painted a while ago. It was part of a tutorial done by Tyson Murphy on 3D motive.

This was mad fun to do.

 

Introduction to an Art Fiend

Alrighty guys. Hey, hello and all of that.

I thought it high time I get around to making one of these. It seems to be the "in thing" with art types these days.

 
Anyway, to keep things short and sweet.
My name is Craig. I'm an environment artist, both 2D and 3D. My main focus is on creating 3D art assets for video game environments. I also have a strong love of  2D art, so I constantly try my best to improve those 2D skills, to use for creating concept art that I can use in 3D projects.

I'll keep this up to date as regular as I can with work and studies I produce, as well as my thoughts and experiences from time to time.

Let this be the beginning of a beautiful journey with all of you fancy folk.
