The Angry Video Game Nerd

We got the chance in my Illustrator class to create anything we wanted with the program.
I had been thinking of doing AVGN fanart for a while, so this is what I made for class.

- For James Rolfe, The Angry Video Game Nerd, on YouTube.

No Country For Old Kongs

This was an assignment for my Adobe Illustrator college class.
We were given a list of ideas to could choose from and asked to create one using the techniques we had learned.
I saw “Monkey Madness” on the list. So I had to do a DK tribute!

A digital painting I did of Claudio Sanchez, singer of the band Coheed and Cambria.

In it he is performing in front of the fantasy world he has created, in which the story of the band’s music revolves.

Created in Photoshop with Wacom Bamboo Tablet.

The Best Is Yet to Come

This is my first full digital painting using my new Wacom Bamboo Tablet & Photoshop. It’s Gray Fox from Metal Gear Solid, scoping out the REX, preparing for an epic fight. Later in the game, he attaches a gun to his arm to help Solid Snake.
Get the game on PS1 or GameCube (Twin Snakes) if you have never played it.

This is my first full digital art painting with Photoshop CS3.
It took 5 days to design and finish. I looked at references to create the scene.
The original size is 11×14″ at 300 dpi.

*Everything was done with a mouse. I do not own a tablet.*
