I’ve always had a soft spot for steampunk that I never really acted on. A couple months ago PatchTogether asked for contest theme ideas for their toy competition. I brought up Steampunk and it was picked

Here are two of my designs. I could really use a vote! (Register with the site then click on the page, scroll down and pick 1-5 and then “confirm”). Hopefully you’ll pick 5

If the designs have a large number of votes in a month’s time then PT might pick the design to move onto “preproduction” where people can preorder the toy. If there are at least 30 preorders then the toy is created. How cool is that??? It’ll be a super limited toy release and certainly a conversation starter at the office

Well here are my two subjects: Vapore Macchina Insetto and SteamFish

“The Burning Giraffe” is the title of a S. Dali painting. I took it to the extreme

The Burning Giraffe

I have a few pieces of art where I start out in 3d then move to 2d to finish up the pieces. A few of them are waiting to be submitted to the PatchTogether Steampunk contest. In the meantime here’s one I did last night just for giggles.

Enjoy! (oh, and I’m testing out a polysoup logo, not sure if it’s working for me or not.)

Frank Considers it for a While

So I was doing my computer backups today (just feel kinda unlucky for some reason so I thought it’s better safe than sorry) and I stumbled upon an awesome blast from the past for me. I was once part of an awesome World of Warcraft guild. I also became the webmaster and designed the site. One day I was bored and decided to “reward” active members on the forums be giving them their very own custom avatar. I took a screenshot of their character so I could get their skin color, hair, eyes, markings, etc correct and drew up a fun little picture for them and them alone. Usually I tried to make them a bit quirky and in some cases there’s a story behind them The drawings took about a couple hours each but I had to wait until the perfect inspiration hit before making something.

Here are 17 of the avatars I made until work and other projects got in the way.

PS. I was the Moonkin.
