design philosophy

mechs aren't difficult if you know the basics of joints and basic
workings of machinery. anyone who has built toy models of ships, planes, or any vehicle can notice the abundance of large
panels with little detail and the small of amount of sprues with
very precise detail. this is a widely taught philosophy on design:
large shapes with little detail connected by small areas of heavy detail..... more to come

"reference library"

bowen designs makes beautiful statues and busts!!! some are quite rare and i am very happy to own them. i do use them as reference and they are quintessential to my designing, those of you at the internal revenue service!!

dive olly dive

claire wendling

she is my favorite artist today and my wife and i were captivated with this piece. everything about it was so pleasing to us. she is such a great artist in every sense and she inspires me more than any other artist. i am so privileged. thanks stuart.

tear myself away...

man, all i draw is robots and when you think about it, in the future, things will be so nano and organically cloned that robot tech will be moot.

sketches from nowhere

when i start sketching, the best ones , i think, are the ones that have no initial direction. i start sketching with a light marker and have no idea what its going to look like. its part luck, emotion, and after you get an idea of what you want... then its a combination of using the reference you've accumulated in your brain of all the coolest things from movies, anime, etc. and adding as much of yourself as possible.

scooter girl

i work in inks a lot and i am not afraid of liquid paper. i use a lot of liquid paper.

boris and natasha

frederico

whello

my friend, kip, and i play a game where we pick 2 total opposite entities and put them together to form one creature. this is my whale/cello combo. actual sketch is 4 inches long.

ars magica

my friend, eric v., runs a role playing game called "ars magica" and i play a peg legged mage named "sisnernos ibb." the other character roams inside another one of his ars magica campaigns that will soon be published. i will link it when it is

soldier

i scanned this in from a sketch no larger than one cubic inch.
