Remington 1911

Here is another addition to my handgun digital painting series!  It's hard to get too much of a good thing, so I decided to do another 1911, this time going with a very classic style Remington.  Chambered in .45acp, the Remington 1911 R1 is a throwback to the Colt 1911 that started it all.  Smooth straight lines and wooden grips, this is a total classic and a real tribute to the original 1911.

Beretta Px4 Storm

Another digital painting to add to my gun series!  This is Beretta's Px4 Storm full size pistol with a two tone finish that Beretta calls the "Inox".   The Px4 has been growing in popularity and is the polymer replacement for it's older brother, the Beretta 8000 (Cougar).  The Px4 comes in 3 different sizes (full, compact, and subcompact) and 3 different calibers (9mm, .40s&w and .45acp), so there is a model that works for everyone.  If you are on the market for a polymer pistol, make sure you don't overlook the Px4 as a possible option, they are reliable and very attractive handguns.

Join the Empire!!

I have been feeling the itch to do something Star Wars related.  Of course I also am always in the mood to draw something firearm or pin-up related, so I thought...why not combine all three?  After I sketched out the pose for my silly idea, I gave the character a vintage hairstyle to give her that pin-up feel.  I drew inspiration from retro styles of lingerie for the dress and then added armor over it that I pulled from various imperial soldiers from the Star Wars universe.  Needing some badass firepower, I went with a standard stormtrooper blaster.  I then added a splash of "propaganda" to make it fun.

Enjoy!  ...and may the force be with you...always!

Beretta M9 Game Model WIP

Just started learning dDo, which is a great tool for adding scratches, dirt and imperfections to your textures.  I am just scratching the surface of learning this tool, but here is a WIP of what I've started doing to one of my pistol models.  More to come!!

Taurus Protector

I really like the "Drawn with Lead 1911" digital painting I did last year, and Jess was telling me the other day that I should do some more guns in a similar fashion.  She also didn't hesitate to drop the Taurus Protector as a possible choice for my next gun painting as it's probably going to be my wife's first handgun.  So my love, this one's for you!!  I am so lucky to have a wife that supports my hobbies and my beliefs the way you do, I love you darl'n!!!

Just a girl and her tank!

I work with an interesting mix of military people and hard core gamers.  I wanted to make a PC desktop for my work station that reflected a bit of both sides.  One of my all time favorite arcade shooters is Metal Slug, so I was heavily inspired with the art from that game, leaning a bit more toward the Japanese art look for the character but going a bit more realistic with the tank.  Also the girl in this image is sporting a Glock 21...cause why not?

So far I'm doing a lot of re-posts of older work while I am stocking up on some new pieces.  In the mean time I'm supplying a bit more information and back story to each piece I post up for those of you who may care to get a bit more about the "why's and when's" of each piece of artwork.

Thanks for all the support and please follow along on my creative adventures!
