Arthas Acrylic Painting

/in , , , /by

This Arthas acrylic painting was inspired by the cinematic CGI of Arthas: The Lich King, from the World of Warcraft MMO, when he raises Sindragosa from her frozen tomb.

I began painting in a much larger scale than I’m used to. When I finished painting I was happy with the finished product, but I am no where near my ideal perfection. Based on the subject, I feel I could have made a much bigger impact painting this in oils instead of acrylics. This took approximately 25 hours and multiple sessions spread out between 6 weeks. Most of that time was because I didn’t know what direction to take it at first.

For every great hero, there’s a great villain. Arthas burned the city of Stratholme and killed innocent people to prevent the plague from spreading. Later took his seat on the Frozen Throne as the new Lich King to control the undead. Villains are often misunderstood and although many of his actions can be deemed dishonorable, you can’t fault him for doing what he believed to be right.

American Aircraft Interiors Logo

/in , , /by

The American Aircraft Interiors logo (logo-002) was created in 2005 for an aircraft upholstery company. The company is located in the Temecula/Murrieta area at the French Valley Airport. It has been in business for more than 20 years. I’ve known the owner personally since 2004 and we’ve done many great things together. The company needed an update on their logo for future expansion. They also wanted to give the feel of prestige and luxury as their old logo was clip art from the 90s. Since then it has since been an important part in branding increasing profits over 150% within 18 months.

 

CONCEPT AND DESIGN

The client wanted the logo to be stylized similarly to the NASA logo. Since the company name is quite long I had to block it into 3 lines so that it could fit in certain design spaces. With “American” in the title, I went with a red, white, and blue theme.

I’ve also handled their website http://www.americanaircraftinteriors.com since 2004.
