Someone pointed this fellow out to me weeks ago, and only now did I actually recheck that old Firefox tab. The concert posters were particularly worthwhile.

A rather loud extraction from a faulty scan and tweak of this and this. Although here I have actually added more analog elements to the image and then rescanned, so there is really some signifcant difference...but still need some work before it is DA submission quality.

Rekonstruction 05.09.06

I remember rather haphazardly working these out while seating awkwardly on Tony Guntharp's livingroom couch in the early days of Damage Studios (think before it had any employees, when Tony was the only founder, and it wasn't even named Damage Studios). The flamethrowing one is particularly stupid, but at the time I was throwing ideas out in a freeform space.

The left hand on the first char always reminds me of what I kept trying to steal from the work of Howard Chaykin circa his Blackhawk series.

Rekonstruction 05.04.06

A trio of random mobs cobbled together for the Rekonstruction MMOG from a few years ago. This was one troubled area for me, as many of my ideas were all over the map and veered from the Dark Crytal like fantastical to the outright horrific and Gigeresque. None made it to a finished state, but I have hundreds of pages of mutated birds, bugs, bison and bats among a zoological mess of ideas.
