Mark's Work Wearhouse

This is done for a project where we do an annual report for a company. I chose Mark's Work Wearhouse (a canadian store), and I went with an Egyptian theme. The idea is to sort of express the idea of timeless styles, durable clothes, for hard working men. This is just a little spot illustration which would go inside

Here's one I did last night. I'm not happy with the perspective on the ribcage or the pelvis. One day I'd like to buy a replica human skeleton just for things like this. 3 hours total, drawn in pen, 'colored' in Photoshop.

Here are some character designs of John Carter and Dejah Thoris




Here is a speedpaint of the surface of Mars


This is a speedpaint of the desert that John Carter wakes up in during the last scene of the book, where he's transported back to Earth, not knowing if he's saved Mars. Burroughs was able to make that part feel so lonely and still


Here's a quick sketch of John Carter in some battle gear. In the book, practically everyone is naked all the time. But it isn't sexual nudity, it's National Geographic nudity. In books later in the series the martians actually tease humans for wearing clothes. You would think it's ridiculous, too!

That anatomy is messed up.

Here is a quick sketch of Woola. I was just trying to figure out a way to organize his proportions. Jigga's got TEN legs! That makes NO sense. I'd like to later take this to a finished level. I love Woola.
